About Speedy

Speedy is a 9-year-old, 20 pound Maltipoo with an endearing little trot and a knack for forming strong bonds. His early years weren’t easy, but that hasn’t dimmed his longing to connect with someone who gets him. He gravitates toward simple pleasures: tasty treats, slow strolls, cozying up for a cuddle, and basking in any affection you have to spare. When you walk through the door, Speedy greets you with a tail wag that’s full-on celebration—coming home matters to him. This little guy has a calm spirit and listens the first time, paying close attention to what you ask. He enjoys outings to the park or trails for that all-important sniff session but is equally content hanging out on the couch. Speedy is house trained and eager to please, making day-to-day routines easy. For a good match, Speedy needs a home without young kids, puppies, or dominant dogs. However, he could thrive with a gentle, respectful canine companion. He sometimes takes a minute to warm up, but shows unwavering loyalty once you're in his circle. For an experienced, patient dog person, Speedy could be the companion that makes your days brighter. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
