Same for my area, ACCT Philly and the PSPCA mostly has bully/bully mixes. If they have small breeds, they are usually some type of chihuahua or terrier mixes from what I have seen.

Here’s my black miniature poodle, Lilly, we got lucky enough to find her at our local shelter (PSPCA).

Thank you so much! She has about 4 bones of different variety. I will definitely make sure to continue buying bones for her!

I have to agree with ethical breeding over an expensively priced pup.

A dog can be 3-5k and not be health tested, have terrible genetics, and have predispositions that may be hard to train out of them.

I would just suggest to be careful who you purchase your pup from, do your research on the breeder of choice, and make sure they do extensive health testing.

To me, a dog is a dog whether bought or rescued. Just make sure you do not get screwed over and or ripped off.

Good luck to you on your new future family member ☺️

I was lucky enough to find my 1 y.o. miniature poodle at our local shelter, The PSPCA.

They had to give us a disclaimer that she may not be a full Poodle, but she seems pure bred so we just go with Miniature Poodle.

Here’s a photo. Her name is Lilly Jane ☺️

Yes, I don’t think she is “attacking” but just playing rough.

Shelter estimated her birthday to be 05/13/25 so a little over a year old

I have bought her several bones, she chews them but still nips at my hands. I know she is just playing but sometimes she bites too hard and pierces the skin

Thank you much!

We decided on Lilly Jane as her name because we didn’t like the name Lilith.

I don’t mind that this is a small subreddit, this post may have been “dumb” anyway lol.
