About Marshmallo

Marshmallo is a standard poodle puppy born September 15, 2024, right under the sign of Virgo. True to his age, he’s got a spark of curiosity and energy, but he’ll need time to build his confidence. Marshmallo started life in a commercial breeding facility, so he missed out on the everyday experiences most puppies get. He approaches new things with caution, but each day he’s adjusting and learning what it means to be cared for. Patience will be key for his new family—a slow, steady approach will give him space to blossom. He really needs a single-family home with a secure fenced yard for potty breaks. Apartment or condo life isn’t a fit for him. Marshmallo thrives with a dog buddy—one who’s calm and can show him the ropes, since he’s more comfortable learning from other dogs right now than from people. Another confident, adult dog in the home will help him find his feet and settle in. He loves to play, but will need house training and all the routines that come with puppy life. A flexible schedule is a must, with someone home often enough to meet all his puppy needs—potty breaks, socialization, training, and plenty of patient support. Marshmallo is neutered, fully vetted, microchipped, and has had his age-appropriate vaccines (future boosters are up to his adopter). He’s looking for a family that’s truly committed for the long haul—poodles can live well into their teens. He’s being fostered in Lincolnwood, IL, and local adoption (with a home visit) is required.
