My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sydney this sweet 3 yr old mini poodle. He needs a fenced in yard or small patio with poop area.
Kids must be over 8 and understand small dog safety.
Dog friends can be small males or girls sorry no larger males or males who are dominant.
He loves to play and will do best with another small dog or regular visitor small dog.
He has heartworms and on medication and will not be able to go hiking or running for a while.
He had some liver concerns on intake which have been addressed by simply feeding him 2x a day regularly.
He is extremely affectionate but does still have puppy behaviors so kids age is set.
He is not 100% housetrained yet but foster is working on it. It's highly likely that he was left in his own waste for most of his life before coming to us.
We are looking for owners who understand the special needs of poodles and their desires to be the center of attention and with their people.
He is not a dog who will do well with his people being gone at work all day and doing children's after school activities at night and giving him time" when they can" .
