This cute, little ball of fluff is Kinsley! She is a beautiful silky white Mini Poodle X Bichon Frise. She has a bright white, curly coat of hair and tips the scales at a whopping 10lbs. She still has some growing to do but will be a small breed dog. She is a 5-month-old puppy mill discard that Pound Dog rescued and brought into their care. She recently received her vaccinations, spay and her cherry eye fixed. One item to note from her vetting, Kinsley has a corneal scar on her left eye, which is not bothering her, but will create a small blind spot for her. Overall, this will not affect her vision, and she is a happy, healthy and fun-loving puppy who is now looking for her forever family.
In just a few short weeks Kinsley has shed her scared, shy exterior and has evolved into a happy, lovable little companion. Kinsley is a confident puppy who is full of charm and personality. She is curious, intelligent and endlessly entertaining. She loves her humans and always wants to be around them, or on them. Kinsley is the epitome of a lapdog. She is happiest snuggling, cuddling and licking her humans. She will lovingly follow you everywhere and will sometimes end up getting in your feet. You will need to be aware of her location so as not to trip. I mention this from experience as I have tripped over this little girl a time or two.
Kinsley is currently living with 2 Standard Poodles. Everyone is 5 times her size, but Kinsley is no speed bump; she loves to run and play with the big dogs! She is right in there running, wrestling, tug of war and anything else they throw at her. She keeps her foster sisters on their toes as she zips around running around and under them. She loves play time, however, once done, Kinsley is back to snuggle time.
Kinsley has settled well into a regular routine. She sleeps a solid 8 hours and is house trained. She will go to the back door when needing outside but will still need to be watched closely as a young puppy’s attention can wander very quickly. If you miss the chance to let her outside, she could have an accident. Kinsley is still being crate trained and does not always love this process. She will vocalize her unhappiness for a few minutes and then will settle down and go to sleep. We continue to feed her in the crate to reinforce that it is a safe space. She has started to use the crate to her benefit when she steals a toy. She will quickly hide in her crate as she knows all the other dogs can’t fit. She is cute and smart!
Kinsley will need to be crated when left alone. She is very inquisitive and can sometimes ger herself into trouble. She considers anything knee level or lower hers to play with, chew on or drag around the house. She is very curious and will explore on her own. Make sure everything is put away and, in its place, or it will end up with Kinsley. I have found socks, shoes, pants, shirts all on her blanket. This little girl will drag everything and anything to her spot in the middle of the living room.
Kinsley is considered hypoallergenic as she is a hair breed dog. With this comes regular brushing, bathing, ear cleaning and grooming. Kinsley has handled all her baths and grooming well. I have done a quick groom on her and kept it to under 30 minutes which she handled well. This breed requires regular brushing so that matting does not occur. She is still unsure of brushing, so we go in small increments to get her used to the whole grooming process.
Kinsley loves the outdoors and her walks. She is still trying to master the art of leash walking. However, she does now understand that it is not a constraint but gives her access to the outside world. She does require regular encouragement and correction. Kinsley is a smart girl and loves to please her humans. She will be an excellent candidate for advanced training and/or tricks. All of this will help her flourish and grow into a confident little lady.
Since Kinsley is a puppy, she needs a family with children 7 years of age or older. She will make a great companion for someone who is home more than away as currently she is crated for a maximum of 3 hours per day. Kinsley is a bit of an old soul who wants to be your companion. She wants to be by your side and will make a fantastic family pet. She has been a joy to foster, and she packs a lot of love into that tiny little body. If you are looking for a fun loving, cuddly couch companion, Kinsley could be your girl!
