Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Toy) (medium coat). Meet Jojo! Age: approx 10+ years old. Some of his paperwork says 10, 13, and 16. We honestly don't know. He is a senior, he is fairly active for his age and gets around well despite his sight issues. Breed: toy poodle, unknown if mixed. Size: est 7lbs, needs to gain a few pounds. Training: crate and leash trained, working on house training and doing well. Good with dogs/cats? Yes to both. Good with men/women/kids? Yes, he gets along with any and every one he meets. Personality: a little shy initially but once he learns his surroundings, he is very affectionate and friendly. He is mostly blind but gets around very well. Our vet was surprised at how well he navigates a new room. He still has some spunk despite his age. He is curious and loves to sniff around the yard. He is very food motivated. Reason for rescue: seized by animal control, hoarding case. Jojo is neutered, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. He is missing most of his teeth so he eats soft food. If you are interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application. Adoption fee: waived, however it must still be a great match for both Jojo & his new family.

Breed overview
Poodle (Toy)
A.K.A.: Caniche Miniatura, Dwarf Poodle, Miniature Poodle, Pudel Zwerg, Kleinpuddel
Overview:
The Toy Poodle is a captivating and intelligent breed, originating in Germany as a water retriever before being miniaturized in France. Physically, they are known for their distinctive, dense, and curly single-layer coat, which is virtually non-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. They possess an elegant, well-proportioned build, bright, dark eyes, and a proud, confident gait. In terms of temperament, Toy Poodles are remarkably smart, alert, and highly trainable, eager to please their owners. They thrive on companionship and mental stimulation, often excelling in canine sports like obedience and agility. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for various living situations, including apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental engagement. They are generally good with respectful children and can integrate well into families. While generally robust, like many purebreds, they can be predisposed to certain health conditions such as patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, and Addison's disease, highlighting the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
