Meet Hooligan! Hooligan is a sweet, affectionate 2 year-old miniature poodle mix little guy who is happiest snuggled up right next to his person. He forms strong bonds and loves being part of the daily routine. When he first arrived at his foster, he was unsure about being left alone—but he quickly learned that his foster mom always comes back! Now he relaxes on the couch by the window with his foster brother while she’s at work from 9–5 like a champ. He’s a quick learner and eager to please. Don’t let his tiny size fool you—Hooligan happily conquers 3-mile walks and has learned to walk nicely on a leash. He enjoys exploring the yard, "patrolling" with his foster brother, and even keeps a close eye on the TV! Because of his past, Hooligan becomes very distressed in a crate and needs a home where he can safely roam freely. He is fully house-trained when it comes to going #2 (not a single accident!) and consistently potties outside. He is still working on marking, but with guidance and consistency, he’s improving every day. While his foster mom is at work, he wears a belly band as a precaution. At night, he goes out around 8pm and then sleeps quietly beside his foster mom all night long without a peep. Hooligan greets you with excitement, has adorable little bursts of energy, and then is perfectly content just being by your side. He will do fine as the only dog in the home, but he would prefer a companion. He will make the most loving little partner-in-crime for someone ready to give him the secure, snuggly home he deserves.
