Angel is a 10-year-old, 10 lb small poodle who has seen a lot of alone time in her previous home and is still learning to trust and open up. While she is gentle and sweet when being petted or picked up, she reacts strongly—sometimes aggressively—if someone tries to put a leash, collar, or harness on her. For that reason, a home without young children is the best fit for her. Angel is capable of real affection with a patient, understanding caretaker who can let her go at her own pace and appreciate her quirks. She tends to keep to herself, prefers her own space, and has to be sedated for grooming. She shows some curiosity towards other dogs but is most comfortable on her own. Angel would do best with someone who is calm, gentle, and not expecting a stereotypical outgoing lap dog. If you can offer her a safe haven, she will reward you in her own subtle ways.
