HOUSTON *HELP! I NEED A FOSTER HOME!* - POODLE (MINIATURE) (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $525-$650 + tax. This sweet little miniature poodle is a local dog in need. His name is "Houston." He is approximately 1.5 years old, approximately 12 lbs. He came from a breeder and the owner does not have enough time for him. He was used to living outside with the breeder, the owner works long hours and is struggling to get him housetrained. He is not fully housetrained yet. He wears belly bands inside and goes outside frequently. He is making slow progress. Houston is used to living with dogs and because of his puppy mill type background, we think he needs to live in a home with other dogs as they make him more comfortable. Another smallish dog would probably be best, but he hangs well with the big ones too. Houston is a very meek, somewhat shy (but wants to be loved) little muppet. Houston likes to be near you, but kind of prefers to watch you from a few feet away while you are doing things and then if you sit he will come lay near you, and he will jump on the bed, but usually lays at end of bed, or sometimes on the floor. He wants to be near his person, but has some skittishness in him too. Once you are holding him or he is approaching you for pets, he loves to be pet and cuddled. We can supply belly bands to the foster home (and send some with to an adopter). Whoever fosters or adopts, would just want to make sure he's on a routine, in and out frequently, praise when goes outside, and use of a belly band when inside. This little guy is a total squish-ball sweetheart, but he will need a dedicated type of person, who is savvy to the under-socialized dog and stays on top of his housetraining schedule (processes).
