About Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a Bichon Frise and Poodle mix with an easygoing, gentle spirit. He’s a little wary of men at first and tends to bark until he settles in, but he warms up more quickly to women. He’d likely thrive with a single woman seeking a loyal sidekick. Cauliflower loves to be close, always up for morning coffee and watching the sunrise together. He settles well into his crate at night but is an early riser and sticks close to his favorite person. He’s playful with toys and runs around with his foster dog siblings—he also gets along with cats and children. While he’s mostly house trained, he’s getting back on track after a stretch with inconsistent outdoor time. At just over 4 years old and about 35 lbs, he’s working on slimming down with more walks, play, and a better diet (the Oreo days are over). Cauliflower is sweet, affectionate, and ready to become someone’s devoted companion. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
