Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature). Itsy bitsy sweetie pie Ralph looks like a well-loved stuffed animal, smile and all! Ralph came to PAW as a stray who at eight-years old (or so) has clearly lived in a home as, according to his foster, he is very well behaved and even described as "perfect". He does not have accidents in the house and goes potty outside quite quickly. He loves to go on walks and gets super excited to do so. He doesn't need a house with a yard, but a person who is willing to walk him. Ralph doesn't mind cats at all, in fact his foster has four resident cats and three kittens, of whom Ralph is very respectful. (At only ten lbs, he is likely the same size!) Despite multiple beds in his foster's home, his favorite spot is next to her, and although Ralph loves being with people, he has been left at home for up to three hours without any issues. Ralph has overcome some health issues, but his prognosis is great and with a loving person by his side, he will continue to thrive! He would be perfect for someone living in a smaller home and/or for an older person who wants a adoring companion. PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and northern PA region.

Overview:
The Miniature Poodle, a charming and intelligent companion, originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. They are renowned for their elegant appearance, characterized by a distinctive curly coat (often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting), long muzzle, and expressive dark eyes. Standing typically between 10 to 15 inches tall and weighing 10 to 15 pounds, they are a compact yet sturdy breed. Temperamentally, Miniature Poodles are known for their high intelligence, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They are generally lively, affectionate, and can be quite playful, thriving on interaction with their families. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. They are often excellent with children and other pets when properly socialized. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as progressive retinal atrophy, luxating patella, and Addison's disease. With their captivating looks and bright minds, the Miniature Poodle makes a delightful and devoted family member.
