Backyard breeder or hoarder? Miniature poodles neglected all their lives need rescue

Please adopt. Lots of eligible and adorable little ones so in need of homes.

In Palmdale, California, this tiny male apricot miniature poodle mix has apparently been neglected all of his life. Shelter staff at the L.A. County Animal Care Control in Palmdale estimate this dog to be no more than four-years-old. He was found as a stray, and it is suspected either a backyard breeder or possibly a hoarder situation resulted in a number of similar looking dogs having been abandoned in the Littlerock area. All of the dogs are in need of medical care.

Check out his adoption listing:

This DOG – ID#A5596372

I am described as a male, apricot Poodle – Miniature mix

The shelter thinks I am about 4 years old.

I have been at the shelter since Nov 28, 2023.

This little guy needs immediate rescue and medical care.

Animal advocates and social media contacts have shown their scorn for the person(s) who could be responsible for such neglect and cruelty:

….how could someone do this? I literally have no words. It makes me so overwhelmingly angry to see how people are in this world…
