Story
Gotti Is Available For Adoption
(Please read entire profile)
Gotti is a handsome, energetic four-year-old black & white Maltese/Poodle mix, aka a Maltipoo, who will require regular grooming. He weighs 17 lbs. Fully vetted, Gotti is microchipped, neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccines, and on flea and tick, and heartworm preventatives.
Gotti loves to see the world via car rides. He enjoys daily walks, weather permitting, and does well on a leash, though there is room for improvement. Gotti knows a few commands such as sit, and he's crate and housetrained. He loves to view the birds and squirrels out his fosters’ kitchen window. Gotti also loves getting belly rubs, massages, giving kisses, and can be downright silly when playing with his squeaky toys. When really happy, watch out for his zoomies. By eight or nine o’clock, however, he’s ready for dreamland.
Gotti warms up to you once calmly introduced, but he is a reactive dog. (According to what is known about reactivity in dogs, there may be a combination of factors that make dogs reactive, including fear, anxiety, lack of socialization, past negative experiences, and inadequate training; often triggered by encounters with other dogs, unfamiliar people, loud noises, or situations the dog perceives as threatening or overwhelming.)
*His foster parents note that although he has had friendly exchanges with other dogs, he's very dog selective & unpredictable. For that reason, we feel Gotti would do best with experienced pet parents in a fairly quiet household and a fenced yard with no children and as an only dog.
If you might be a good match for this special little guy, please reach out!
