VELCRO - POODLE (UNKNOWN TYPE) / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (unknown type) / Terrier / Mixed. Velcro earned his name honestly. This fuzzy blonde/apricot poodle/pomeranian (??) mix was found as a stray running after a vehicle in the middle of nowhere, and ever since, he’s made it his mission to never be far from people again. He’s a total lapdog who wants to be right next to you, all day, every day, and he lights up when his people come home. He’s a fun little dog. Give him a little stuffed toy and he’ll happily play fetch, bringing it right back and asking you to throw it again over and over. He loves to have a collection of stuffy’s so he has his choice of what to chew on or play with. :) Velcro has the cutest little crooked underbite. We’re not sure if it was natural or from an injury, but he seems to do fine with it. At just over 11 pounds, Velcro is easygoing and sweet. He does well around cats and will even try to play with them. He is OK with other dogs, but honestly, he would prefer to be the only canine in the house. He would prefer not to share his people or his food with another dog lol. He can also be a bit leery of bigger, more boisterous dogs, since he’s small enough to get accidentally stepped on or bowled over during rough play. Velcro is good with nice, gentle children. He likes them, but being a sensitive soul (aka a bit of a wimp), he quickly becomes fearful and could possibly even become nippy with a child that was rough with him. For this reason, we are recommending school-age children at the minimum. He’s not a fan of being left alone and will let you know about it. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash. House training just takes a little know-how. Velcro does best on a regular potty schedule, leash walks or time in a fenced area. As long as he’s taken out regularly, he does pretty well with keeping his business outside. He’s currently being fostered in a home with a dog door, but for whatever reason he’s afraid to use it. He’s also got a adventurous streak and loves to explore, so he’s happiest and safest on a leash or in a securely fenced yard rather than roaming loose. He does shed a little, so he isn’t considered hypoallergenic like some poodle mixes. He may not need regular grooming, but he will need some brushing. His adoption fee is $200.
