Hi . . . My name is Dax and I'm a 6-year-old Miniature Poodle/Japanese Chin boy who weighs 15 lbs. I'm adventurous, affectionate and playful. I may be shy at first, but I love people and other pups once I get to know them. I'm hoping to find my forever home where I can give you lots of love and get plenty of love in return. Favorite Things: Dax loves his toys and this sneaky fella has been known to “steal” a few toys or shoes when left unattended. Snuggling and belly rubs are two of his favorite things. He is very loving and enjoys following his humans everywhere. Training & Manners: Dax is house trained in his foster home when let out regularly. He tolerates a car ride. He does need additional practice with his basic manners and leash walking manners. He is very food-motivated, which lends itself nicely to additional training. Health and Care: Dax is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Like any dog should, he takes his monthly prevention for fleas and heartworm. He will need regular grooming, and the frequency will depend on the length and style of cut wanted. In between, he will need to be brushed, which he seems to enjoy. Other Animals: Dax has experience with small dogs; both playful and laid-back and he greatly enjoys his playdates with other small dogs. He gets excited to go on walks and happily greets other dogs, big and small. He has not been around cats, but given his sweet disposition, we think he would be okay with a feline friend too. Children: This curious boy would be suitable for a home with children of any age, as long as they are respectful. In his foster home, he enjoyed running and playing with children over the age of three. Ideal Home: Dax is a runner outside and will attempt to get out any open door. He is also very fast. He really likes taking long walks but doesn't seem to like steps or the dark. For these reasons, a single-family home with a fenced yard will be a necessity. At his foster home, he has free rein of the house and can be left alone for several hours without issues. After a day of play, he is happy to curl up and sleep in the “people bed” at night. Overall: Dax is clever, cute as a button and would be a great addition to any family. Could you be the family? Think dapper Dax is for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $450.
