Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Toy). Hi! My name is Toby. I am a 10 year old toy poodle. I am neutered, UTD on my vaccinations and according to my foster Mom, an absolute cuddle bug. I get along with dogs of all sizes and I really like kids. I have not met any cats, so I do not know what to think of them!! I came to rescue as a neglect case. My hair was matted and I had a deformed back leg that only got in the way of me moving easily. Well I got a short haircut (It will grow back so pretty, I promise!) and had that bad leg amputated. I'm recoving from that surgery like a champ and you should see me get around on three legs! Life is so much better without that old leg. I included a video of me soon after surgery showing how well I walk. Because I was neglected before I came to rescue....I am still working on house training. I get better and better each day. I hope you will understand and work with me as I learn this important life skill! I am hoping to find a family that will let me follow them everywhere, play ball and cuddle. I am full of love that I want to share with my forever family. Do I sound like the boy for you? Fill out an application and let's meet IRL. Hope to see you soon, Love, Toby Adoption fee to help cover Toby's vet expenses: $150.00

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.
