Please read about our adoption process prior to applying for any animal with us.

Our website has information about our rescue, adoption process and link to our adoption application www.collarofhope.org

 We are a foster home based rescue and have no facility to visit.
 Prior to adoption, our animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated including rabies/age appropriate, microchipped and parasite treated/prevented as a minimum.

Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.  

Francois is a wonderful poodle mixed boy about 2 years old.  He is good with other dogs of all sizes and favors the poodle personality though we don't know what he's mixed with.  He's 18 pounds.  He has good energy so his new family should as well.  He doesn't appear to know any training commands so we'll work on things as we can until he's adopted.  He will walk on leash and is keeping his crate clean so far.  He is gorgeous jet, inky black with a tiny bit of white on his chest. 
He arrived at a shelter a matted mess.  A volunteer there shaved him down so we don't yet know how he is getting groomed.  It's pretty choppy right now so we'll get it tidied up as soon as we can and find out how he does with grooming.  
Speaking of grooming, if you submit our adoption application for this guy, we're requiring a groomers phone number so we can call to insure they're taking new clients (many are not) and his new family needs to be sure they can get him to a professional groomer every 6-8 weeks for the rest of his life.  No exceptions on this.  He requires and deserves his coat be maintained for the rest of his life. 

Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.
