About Ram

Ram stands out with his instantly lovable snaggle tooth and gentle presence, earning him the nickname "shy pirate." He’s a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle and Terrier mix—lightweight, soft brown, and blending quirky charm with quiet caution. He’s figuring out the world at his own pace, making slow and steady progress as he grows more comfortable in new situations. What Ram lacks in confidence, he makes up for in sweetness, and he lets his guard down once he feels safe. He’s happiest with another dog around and uses their confidence to help steady himself. This little guy is food-motivated, making training straightforward and rewarding when done gently. Ram isn’t suited to a noisy, bustling home; he’s searching for calm, patient people willing to invest some time helping him adjust, with another friendly dog as a bonus. With the right crew, he’ll offer quiet loyalty and understated affection, showing a playful side when he feels secure. He needs someone who values patience over fast results, and in return, Ram will be a reassuring, calm companion ready for the long haul. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
