Sarah-Ashley
Sarah Ashley is now open for guardian home applications.
Born in December 2025, this gorgeous girl is looking for the right family to become part of our Sebtus program.
At Sebtus, we believe temperament is not created in a kennel. It is shaped through love, connection, and being raised as part of a family. That belief sits at the heart of everything we do.
Our guardian program is about more than simply placing a dog in a home. It is about being part of something meaningful. Something bigger than just having a pet. It is about helping raise poodles with the emotional strength, confidence, and stability to make a real difference in the lives of others.
After many years working closely with poodles, I have seen just how remarkable this breed can be. I have also learned that the best way to support families, including those with neurodiversity, starts long before a puppy is born. It starts with intention, careful planning, and raising each dog in the right environment from the very beginning.
Our waitlist is often long because families are not simply looking for a puppy. They are looking for the right fit, and not every dog is suited to every home. That is why this process matters.
If you feel called to be part of a program built on experience, knowledge, and heart, we would love to hear from you.
To apply, complete the application form and begin your journey with Sebtus.
Tatiana
Tatiana is a stunning Standard Poodle with a heart as generous as her beautiful curls. Rising four years old, she has already lived a life full of purpose, connection, and quiet impact. She joined our Sebtus Wellness programs, where her natural patience and emotional awareness shone through while spending time alongside young people with ASD and ADHD. Her calm presence, gentleness, and ability to simply sit with someone made her a grounding and reassuring companion.
Tatiana was placed in a guardian home where a strong and loving bond was formed, particularly with the wife of the household. Due to personal health challenges within the family, the environment became understandably stressful, and with care for both Tatiana and the family, the decision was made for her to return home. Their parting was filled with sadness, affection, and gratitude — a reflection of the deep connection they shared and the kind of dog Tatiana truly is.
She has had one beautiful litter, raising sound, friendly puppies who have gone on to be treasured family members, with one even finding a home overseas. Her nurturing nature extends far beyond motherhood. Tatiana is a true family dog at heart, emotionally intuitive and deeply loyal.
Fully health tested and carrying the proud yet playful spirit the Poodle breed is loved for, Tatiana is now ready for a stable, forever home where she can settle, belong, and be cherished. She represents everything we stand for at Sebtus — ethical care, honesty, and dogs raised with purpose, respect, and heart.
Vegas
Vegas is a rising four-year-old Standard Poodle with a calm, thoughtful presence and a quietly expressive soul. She carries herself with a gentle reserve, yet those who spend time with her quickly notice how much she communicates through her eyes and body language rather than noise. She is not a yappy dog — instead, she offers steadiness, awareness, and composure.
Within our Sebtus Wellness programs, Vegas works closely with young people aged 13 to 17 with disabilities, patiently supporting them as they learn grooming skills. She is reliable on lead, tolerant, and deeply respectful of personal space, making her a beautiful teacher in environments that require trust and consistency.
While calm by nature, Vegas has a playful side that emerges when she feels safe — a little tomboy at heart who enjoys a good romp when the moment is right. She adapts easily to new environments, people, and a wide range of dogs, and she thrives on outdoor adventures, from beach walks to bush trails.
As a small, intentional program, we have not yet bred Vegas. We are hopeful that the coming year may open that door if the timing and circumstances align. Vegas reflects our approach at Sebtus — patient, considered, and grounded in respect for the dog first.
Donatello
Donatello DOB is December 2025 and is ready to find his guardian home, and he brings something that is hard to teach… natural presence, personality, and a way of making people feel good just by being around him.
He has a beautiful balance about him. Confident, engaging, and full of life, yet still holding that softness and awareness that makes him exceptional with children. He is the kind of dog that draws people in, makes them laugh, and then settles in beside you like he’s always belonged there.
He will suit a home that enjoys being outdoors, going for walks, and including their dog in everyday life. He has energy, but it’s purposeful energy. He wants to be involved, to connect, and to be part of something.
The Sebtus program is built on the belief that temperament is not created in a kennel, it is shaped within a home. Donatello is a reflection of that. Raised with intention, ready to continue growing in the right environment.
If you feel drawn to him, and you’re ready to be part of something bigger than just owning a dog, we invite you to begin the process.
