About Lamby

Lamby is a young miniature poodle with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), so he needs a special home that can support his unique needs. He came to the rescue severely malnourished, but his sweet personality has remained strong throughout recovery. Lamby does well with other dogs and cats, often joining in play and making friends easily. He circles and spins when going potty — a quirk from his CH — but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying life and the company of other animals. His coat is curly and white-cream, and he brings a joyful, playful spirit wherever he goes. Lamby will thrive with adopters who are ready for a little extra care and a lot of companionship. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
