HENRI - POODLE (MINIATURE) / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Henri! Henri is a big teddy bear who loves to cuddle. He really enjoys getting attention from his people, snuggling up on the couch or just lounging in a doggy bed. He also really enjoys going for walks in the neighborhood and exploring all the smells in the backyard. He gets along well with other friendly dogs and seems to follow another confident dog, so not the dominant type. As he is coming out of his shell he is showing an interest in playing with toys and other friendly dogs. Henri is house trained, not a single accident in his foster home. He is given regular potty breaks and takes care of business on his walks. He is not a fan of being crated but does sleep quietly in a metal crate at night. He whined when we first tried a plastic crate with less visibility. He's a little nervous, whiny about riding in the car, but settles down after several minutes. He hasn't been tested with cats, but definitely notices and shows interest in squirrels and birds when out on walks, so may have potential for chasing smaller animals. He has not been tested with kids yet, but so far has been friendly to everyone he meets after appropriate introductions. Henri prefers to be with his people rather than left home alone. He will vocalize his excitement after his people return home. He is mostly quiet and chill at home but will join the other dogs if they start barking. He is also good about redirection. He is really good with the 'Sit' command and is learning "off" and "down". We have been working on keeping four paws on the floor to get attention as he tends to jump or put his paws on people to express his desire for attention. He enjoys getting treats so this is good motivation for further training. He is such a love chop and will fit in well in a home where there is someone home more often than not and would likely enjoy the company of another friendly canine companion. Henri will also need regular grooming as he has the poodle type of fur that needs to be trimmed. Henri is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.
