Mini 'oodle
​Guardian Home Needed

Meet Purdy


Birthday: 10/29/24
Age: 1.5yrs Old
Breed: Miniature 'oodle
Weight: 15lbs
Location: Georgetown, CA

Purdy is a loyal, affectionate 'oodle who forms very strong bonds with her people and thrives in a calm, familiar environment. She loves to cuddle, enjoys being close, and is happiest as a lap dog with someone she trusts. While she is sweet and devoted to her inner circle, Purdy is more reserved and cautious with new people and unfamiliar situations due to limited early socialization. She can be vocal and sensitive, especially when separated or unsure, and will need continued guidance to build confidence. Purdy does well with dogs overall, though she can guard food, and she has a high prey drive, so supervision around small animals is important. She is smart, knows a few basic commands, and enjoys routine, making her a great fit for a patient home that understands her need for structure, consistency, and trust-building.

Training & Routine​​ 

  • Fully potty trained and does well with a routine
  • Crate trained, though she can be a bit vocal at times
  • Sleeps through the night but may wake up early and let you know she’s ready to start the day
  • Knows sit and shake; still learning and gaining confidence with other commands
  • Walks nicely overall, but can get excited by dogs, birds, and other distractions
  • Enjoys car rides in larger vehicles (gets car sick in small cars)
  • Does well with grooming and brushing (just not a fan of the dryer)
  • Loves her chew toys and relaxing close to her people 

What Purdy Needs ​

  • A patient, consistent approach to help her continue building confidence
  • Gentle guidance with new people and new situations
  • Clear structure to help her feel secure and settled
  • Slow, positive introductions to the world around her
  • Supervision during mealtimes with other dogs
  • A home without small animals (she has a high prey drive)

Ideal Home

  • A calm, low-pressure home where she can feel safe and settle in at her own pace
  • Someone patient and understanding who will let her warm up in her own time
  • Adult-only or older, respectful children who can give her space when needed
  • A home looking for a loyal, affectionate companion
  • A quieter environment with fewer new people coming and going
  • Someone who will enjoy her cuddly, devoted nature once she bonds
  • No cats, chickens or small animals.

Why You’ll Love Her

Purdy is the kind of dog who wants to be right by your side—curled up in your lap, following you from room to room, and staying closely connected to her person. She forms deep, loyal bonds and thrives on companionship and being included in daily life. Purdy isn’t shy about using her voice to communicate, especially when she’s excited or wants your attention, which is part of her expressive personality. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate, cuddly, and devoted. With patience, structure, and continued guidance, she will grow into a loving, loyal companion who brings both personality and connection to your home.
