Meet Estelle: The Fluffball of Fabulousness
Are you ready to meet the canine equivalent of a velvet cupcake topped with glitter?
Introducing Estelle, a pint-sized poodle who’s here to steal your heart, your lap, and probably your snacks.
Estelle is the kind of dog who makes grown adults squeal in public. She’s got that “I’m too cute for this planet” energy and a gaze that could melt steel. She’s lovely, gentle, and gives cuddles like it’s her full-time job (which, frankly, it is).
Estelle is currently working through a couple of medical things — nothing dramatic, just a few tune-ups. Think of it as her spa retreat with a side of vet care. She’s doing great and thriving with her team of doting humans.
Estelle would love a home where she can be:
- Adored like the royalty she is
- Snuggled frequently and fed treats on demand
- Told she’s beautiful at least 17 times a day
She’s cool with other dogs, but let’s be honest — she’s the star of the show. Other animals may apply for supporting roles.
Estelle isn't quite ready for adoption just yet, but if you would like to express your interest in adopting her when the time comes then please apply. We do not have a timeframe just yet but will conduct meet and greets when she is ready, in her own time.

A Note on Training and Adopting Our Dogs
Our dogs are wonderful, and we invest a great deal of time and effort into their training and preparation. However, no dog is “perfectly trained” or ready to adopt without any ongoing work.
All dogs go through normal life stages and changes — puppyhood, adolescence, adulthood, aging, moving homes, and adapting to new environments. Any of these can lead to stress, uncertainty, or moments of testing boundaries.
Because of this, ongoing training is essential. Training isn’t a one-off task; it’s a continual process that helps you understand your dog’s needs, support them through transitions, and set everyone up for long-term success.
We would expect adopters to maintain the training we’ve started and seek further guidance if needed. We’re always happy to help with information and recommendations for trainers, and provide advice during the trial and adoption process also.
Can't adopt Estelle? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
