My Personality
Hi, I’m Lala! I’m a sweet and gentle 12-year-old Poodle with a soft ivory coat and a heart full of love. Weighing 6kg, I may be a senior, but I still have so much warmth and companionship to offer. My journey hasn’t been easy—I was left at the Pyeongtaek shelter, where I waited for someone to come for me, but no one did. Thankfully, I was rescued just in time, and now, I’m hoping to find a peaceful and loving home where I can spend my golden years.
I have a quiet and reserved nature at first, but I warm up quickly, especially if you have a treat for me. Once I feel comfortable, I enjoy soft pets and gentle cuddles, and I’m happy to be picked up. I’m not overly demanding—I’m just happy to be near my humans and enjoy their company. I love my nap time and appreciate a calm and predictable routine. While I may not be as playful as I once was, I still have a lot of love to give and enjoy simple joys like lounging by your side or exploring my surroundings at a slow and steady pace.
Social Skills
With people, I may take a little time to feel fully comfortable, but once I do, I bond deeply and will always be by your side. With other dogs, I get along best with those who are similar in size and temperament to me, especially fellow Poodles. However, I tend to feel uneasy around larger dogs and prefer to keep my distance. I have lived with a cat before, and while I don’t have a strong reaction to them, I’d need a proper introduction if I were to share my home with one again.
Energy and Activities
I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy gentle strolls and sniffing around outside, but I prefer calm and quiet environments. Loud noises and sudden movements can make me nervous, especially near busy streets. Sometimes, if I get scared, I may freeze or try to retreat, so I need a patient person to reassure me. I love my rest and relaxation time and will happily curl up in a cozy spot for a nap after my outings.
Training and Habits
I’m well-mannered and adapt easily to a home environment. I use both indoor pads and outdoor spaces for potty time, making me flexible to different setups. I am crate-trained and settle down nicely in my kennel when needed. While I’m usually quiet, once I become fully comfortable in a home, I may bark a little more, especially when I want attention or if something seems unfamiliar to me. When it comes to food, I don’t guard my meals from people, but if another small dog comes too close while I’m eating, I may let out a little growl to protect my space.
My Ideal Home
I’d thrive in a peaceful home with a loving and patient family who understands senior dogs. A quiet environment with gentle routines would be perfect for me. I wouldn’t mind having a small, calm dog friend—especially another Poodle—but I’d also be just as happy being the only dog in a home where I receive lots of love and care. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who will quietly follow you around and bring warmth to your home, I might just be the perfect match for you.
Special Notes
I may be a senior, but I still have so much love to give! I bond well with fellow Poodles and small, gentle dogs, though I can be a bit protective of my food around tiny breeds. I love a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of nap time, and I appreciate a calm and stable home. While I’m not overly demanding, I will show my love in quiet, subtle ways, and I can’t wait to find a forever family who will cherish me just as much as I will cherish them.
