🌟 Meet Horace, our shining star who’s just waiting to be the light of someone’s life! For the first five years of his existence, Horace lived in a puppy mill, deprived of the love and joy that every dog truly deserves. But let me tell you, this gentle soul hasn’t let that define him! He’s like a delicate flower ready to bloom, full of quiet hope and healing. 🌷 Now, at 5 years old and only 10 lbs of pure love, this Miniature Poodle is on a journey of rediscovery, learning what it means to feel safe and cherished. He’s crate trained and loves snuggling up in his cozy little nook, giving him the comfort he has long craved. And oh, how he adores the little ones! He’s great with kids, especially those who treat him with kindness and respect. It’s like he knows how precious gentleness is, and he offers it so generously. ❤️ Horace might be shy at first, but don’t let that fool you! When he feels safe, his sweetness radiates through those soft, glimmering eyes and those tentative little tail wags that make your heart flutter. Just picture it—a calm companion by your side, always there to share a quiet moment! What he really requires is a sprinkle of patience, a dash of routine, and someone patient enough to let him unfold at his own pace, revealing his true self. Each day brings a new triumph for this sweet boy, and being part of that journey is pure magic! ✨ Now, it’s essential to know that Horace needs a secure, fenced yard where he can roam freely and explore without the stress of leash walks. He’s looking for a calm, loving environment where he can feel at ease. While another gentle dog could be a comforting guide, what Horace really needs is a human on his side, someone who believes in second chances. If you can approach life with love and care, you’ll find that this boy is ready to give his heart unconditionally! 💖 Horace isn't just a dog; he’s a chance for a deeply meaningful bond.
