Some dogs come into rescue with a story... and Rooster's is one that tugs a little harder on the heart. This handsome 4-year-old Standard Poodle lost his mom about six months ago, and now he's looking for someone to help him start his next chapter. Rooster is a people-loving, joy-chasing kind of guy. Men, women, kids... if you've got hands for petting, he's already your biggest fan. He rides great in the car, keeps a clean house (fully house trained ), and settles nicely in a kennel when needed... though he will politely “announce” if you're home and he'd rather be out with you. When it comes to other dogs, Rooster is very social... maybe a little too enthusiastic. He's that friend who shows up to the party ready to cannonball into the pool before checking if anyone else is in it. He just wants to play, but his manners could use some polishing, and he has shown some dominant behavior with another male dog. With guidance and structure, he's going to shine. The good stuff: • House & kennel trained • Knows basic commands (sit, shake, kennel) • Great in the car • Does not counter surf • Loves people of all ages What he needs: • A little obedience tune-up • Continued structure with other dogs • Someone who will help him channel all that playful energy. Rooster doesn't just want a home... he wants his person again. The kind of home where he can be goofy, loved, and guided into being the very best version of himself. If you've got room in your heart (and maybe a few plush toys he can claim as his own), Rooster is ready to meet you. Apply at carerescueok.org
