My name is Paco!

Meet our sweet, playful approx. 1.5-year-old mix Paco! Likely part poodle, he has low-to-moderate shedding, but we don't believe he's completely hypoallergenic.  He’s motivated by love and affection, great with dogs and is unfazed by the couple of cats we've had him come into contact with. He's gentle but high-energy, perfect for active families, especially with kids!

For the most part he is crate-trained but not a fan of the crate, he will bark for a bit before settling down. He'd prefer a home that he doesn't need to be in a crate that often (he is house trained and not big on chewing things.)  He also loves looking out the window and being in the same room as you, following you around to keep an eye on things. He’s trained not to jump on furniture and usually does great with that. Loyal, he doesn’t beg for food, though he thrives on attention and affection.

He enjoys car rides (though he can be a bit clumsy) and loves his daily walks or runs—after a couple of miles, he’s happy to chill and is worn out for a bit. While smart and eager to learn, he can get easily distracted when things are happening around him. He doesn’t play much with toys but loves interacting with people and other dogs.

Though he barked the first couple of nights in his foster home, he quickly adjusted and is doing great! He might not be ideal for an apartment due to occasional crate barking, but he'd be a fantastic match for someone with a yard and/or who enjoys getting outside for walks. Overall, he's loving, affectionate, wants to please, and a loyal companion who could be just perfect for the right family.
