Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard). A HANDSOME & WONDERFUL BOY: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 60 lbs. Hi, my name is Alastair! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control in pretty rough shape - I was so badly matted that I had to be completely shaved down, and I was underweight, too. Thanks to lots of good care, good food, and kindness, I’ve gained healthy weight and I’m feeling great now! I’ll need regular grooming to keep my coat in good shape and that is a bit costly for a dog my size, so make sure you’re prepared to have me regularly groomed. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m described as a sweet, friendly, happy, and gentle boy - truly the sweetest, a gentle giant with a big heart. I was an absolute gentleman during my bath, staying calm and sweet and even lifting my paws nicely for rinsing. Everyone loves me and I’m sure you will, too. / Energy Level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’ and ‘down’ commands and I greet friendly strangers without jumping on them. I’m a strong guy who does pull on my leash, so I’m working on that now. / I’m doing well in my crate at Mostly Mutts. / I’m doing well with my potty manners and have had very few accidents on the shelter schedule. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love hugs, playing with toys, and spending time with the nice volunteers - and I’m sure we’ll discover plenty of other things to enjoy together, too. / I can’t think of any dislikes though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m a wonderful dog looking for a great family that will love me and take great care of me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Overview:
The Standard Poodle is a captivating and highly intelligent breed with a rich history, believed to have originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. Renowned for their distinctive, dense, and curly coat—which is virtually non-shedding, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers—they are elegant and athletic dogs. Physically, they possess a proud carriage, a long muzzle, and dark, expressive eyes, typically weighing between 45-70 pounds. Their temperament is characterized by being highly intelligent, easily trainable, and generally good-natured, though they require mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Standard Poodles are surprisingly adaptable, thriving in active families and even adapting well to apartment living provided they receive adequate exercise and mental engagement. While generally healthy, owners should be aware of potential health concerns like hip dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions. Their combination of brains, beauty, and biddability makes them a truly versatile and rewarding companion.
