Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Poodle (Toy) (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 515. READ POST BEFORE APPLYING - SPECIAL NEEDS DOG This little guy may only weigh 9 pounds, but don’t let his size fool you — Reef is all heart, all play, and all determination. Reef celebrated his first birthday in February and proudly sports a one-of-a-kind look: a stunning copper coat, dark markings along his back and ears, and a black-tipped tail that wags like it’s powered by joy. His DNA results say he’s a mix of toy and miniature poodle — basically the perfect-sized package of fluff, fun, and fabulousness. Reef is what we lovingly call differently-abled. He has a neurological condition that gives him a bit of a wobble and sometimes sends him tumbling — but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He plays like a pro, zooms like he’s chasing the wind, and lives life with infectious enthusiasm. His favorite thing in the world? A fellow small dog who’s up for nonstop wrestling, chasing, and general puppy antics. He does wear a diaper indoors — Reef isn’t able to fully control his bladder, but the diaper keeps things clean and manageable, and he doesn’t mind it a bit. He’s currently fostered with a pack of pups and doing great, but what this sweet boy really dreams of is a forever family who’s home more often than not, ready to dote on him, love him fiercely, and let him be their shadow. Reef would greatly benefit from a yard of any size. He is a bit happy so the apartment or condo life may not be well suited for him as he could be bothersome to his neighbors when left alone. A hard for a reef to run and zoom would make his day. Reef is affectionate, silly, and sweet beyond words. He’s a classic Velcro dog — wherever you go, he’ll want to be there too. And his love language? Unlimited kisses. If you’ve got the heart and patience to embrace a dog with a few quirks but a whole lot of love to give, Reef might just be your perfect match. Apply today at 4LuckyDogs and come meet the little guy who’s rewriting the definition of resilience.

Overview:
The Miniature Poodle, a charming and intelligent companion, originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. They are renowned for their elegant appearance, characterized by a distinctive curly coat (often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting), long muzzle, and expressive dark eyes. Standing typically between 10 to 15 inches tall and weighing 10 to 15 pounds, they are a compact yet sturdy breed. Temperamentally, Miniature Poodles are known for their high intelligence, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They are generally lively, affectionate, and can be quite playful, thriving on interaction with their families. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. They are often excellent with children and other pets when properly socialized. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as progressive retinal atrophy, luxating patella, and Addison's disease. With their captivating looks and bright minds, the Miniature Poodle makes a delightful and devoted family member.
