Meet Chase, an 8-year-old Miniature Poodle weighing 11 lbs with a friendly and outgoing personality. He enjoys spending time with people and can be a cheerful little companion once he feels comfortable in his environment. Chase would do best in a calm, adult-only home with a careful, patient adopter who is willing to work with him and go at his pace while building trust over time. No small children are recommended. He is sensitive to handling, and respectful, gentler interactions are important for his comfort and confidence. Chase has met other dogs at the shelter, but he prefers to be the one and only dog in the home so he can soak in all the love and attention to himself. A meet and greet at the shelter is required with any other dogs in the home to ensure it is a good fit for everyone involved. With the right understanding home, Chase has the potential to thrive as a loyal, engaging companion who enjoys connection on his own terms. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
