FABIO - PAPILLON / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Papillon / Mixed (long coat). This 16-pound charmer is named for his silky locks—and he’s every bit as lovely as his name suggests. Fabio is a gentle, well-mannered little guy who’s great with kids and other dogs. While he hasn’t been tested with cats yet, his calm demeanor suggests he could adjust well with proper introductions. Fabio is mostly house-trained, with only a couple of #2 accidents in foster (always in the same spot—he’s a creature of habit!). He’s quiet, rarely barks, and isn’t easily startled by noise. Whether you crate him or give him free reign, he’s perfectly content—quiet and relaxed either way. When it comes to fun, Fabio’s favorite game is fetch—and yes, he brings the ball back! If no one’s around to play, he’ll happily entertain himself with a small plush squeaky toy. He’s playful, but also independent—he loves being pet, but is just as happy lounging in a cozy corner by himself. Fabio walks beautifully on a leash without pulling, enjoys taking in the fresh air, and would thrive in a home with another playful pup or someone who’s ready to toss the ball around. With medium shedding and a smart, sensitive nature, Fabio’s the kind of dog who just gets it—he’s gentle to the touch when given a treat and even seems to know when another dog is in trouble, quietly removing himself from the surroundings and goes to lay down. Ready for a well-behaved, fun-loving companion who’s easy to take on the go? Fabio might just be your guy. .Please visit our website for more info on our adoption process and adoption application .barkdogfarm Please be sure all family members are in agreement to adopting and your family is ready to bring dog home now.
