CHESTER - WHEATEN TERRIER / POODLE (MINIATURE) / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Wheaten Terrier / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed. Please read this entire description before applying. Chester is a 7monthold Whoodle who spent his first months in a breeder's kennel with very little early handling. Because of this, he is shy and cautious with new people and new environments. He currently weighs about 30 lbs and is slowly learning what normal home life looks like. He is a quiet, gentle puppy who needs time and patience to feel safe. At first, he may keep his distance, but with calm routines, he begins to relax and observe from a comfortable spot. He does best with a friendly, confident dog his size or smaller. Large dogs overwhelm him. A calm resident dog helps him feel secure and learn daily routines. Chester is not leashtrained and is not ready for walks. A secure, fully fenced yard is required. He is a flight risk if he becomes scared, so doors, gates, and transitions must be handled carefully. He cannot be crated. An approved puppy pen is required and should be placed in a main living area so he can observe household activity without pressure. Chester is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Adoption fee: $295. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Fully fenced yard (no invisible fences). Someone home during the day. Children 13+. Calm, patient household. Friendly resident dog his size or smaller strongly preferred. No crates — approved puppy pen required. Experience with shy or unsocialized dogs is a plus. No travel over 2 hours. Outofstate adopters must pick up in person (no shipping).
