Male Dog, Poodle (Miniature)
Poodle (Miniature) / Shih Tzu / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
NAME: Poptart BREED: Poodle/Shih Tzu Mix BIRTHDAY: 2024 WEIGHT: 13lbs ADOPTION FEE: $350 When our friends at Dallas Pets Alive ask us to take a dog, we say YES ! When they asked us to take a little blind puppy, well... sure, things were getting a little quiet around here anyway! Surprisingly, Poptart the puppy hasn't gotten the rest of the pack too worked up. He's a little pushy in his playfulness and can overstimulate when left to his own devices (we do NOT hump our friends around here!) However, for such a young fellow he really is well-behaved and well-mannered. He appears to be pad trained, but we're working on big boy house training which is going very well thanks to help from the rest of the pack. Poptart loves to be outside so that's very helpful as well. He gets an A+ for car manners and a B for leash training, but we don't really blame him for being nervous in new places- he is almost completely blind after all! In his safe places (the house and yard), you may not notice right away that Poptart can't see: he is remarkably well-adjusted and gets around without too much trouble. He just needs a little help remembering where the water dish is, and he should absolutely not have unsupervised access to a full staircase until he's 100% comfortable in his new home. Poptart loves to cuddle and be around his people, but he also wants to play with his dog friends. Since having a "guide" has been so helpful for him, we're looking for a forever home with at least one tolerant canine sibling, and a human to be around more often than not. Cats are not a problem for this sweetheart so no worries either way. Mostly he just needs someone with time and patience so that he can learn his new routine- no more shuffling around for this sweet baby, we are looking for commitment!
