Hi, I'm Kairo and I'm as cool as my name sounds. I'm a 2-year-old Poodle weighing 46 lbs, with a big personality to match my stylish looks. I'm playful, smart and always ready to be part of the action whether that's heading out for a ride (I love the car!) or hanging out nearby soaking up attention. I've got a goofy side, a curious spirit and plenty of love to give. I'm happiest when I'm with my people, learning new things and figuring out how to be the best companion I can be. Favorite Things: Kairo loves to stay busy and engaged. Toys are a must. He enjoys chewing, tossing and playing, especially when he can channel his energy into something fun. He also enjoys time with his people, interactive play and opportunities to move around and explore. Treats are a great motivator, making bonding and learning both enjoyable and rewarding. Training and Manners: Kairo is house-trained with regular breaks and will let you know when he needs to go out. He's a quick learner who's already picking up basic commands like sit and stay. He's still working on leash manners but responds well to guidance. When home alone, he does best in a secure area while continuing to learn boundaries—he may initially vocalize but settles within a few minutes. He also sleeps comfortably in his own bed at night. Health and Care: He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccines. He will just need monthly heart worm and flea/tick preventives, like all dogs. As a Poodle with a beautiful coat, Kairo will need regular grooming to keep his hair healthy and well-maintained. Other Animals: Kairo does well with other pets and enjoys playful interactions with dogs of all sizes. He has also lived successfully with cats, showing curiosity but respecting boundaries when they are set. Children: Kairo is best suited for a home with older children (8+) due to his size, enthusiasm and energetic play style. He does best with kids who understand how to interact confidently and respectfully with an active dog. Ideal Home: While a single-family home with a secure, fenced yard is ideal for safe play, Kairo can adapt to an apartment or townhome if his activity needs are met. He thrives in a home where someone is around more often, as he enjoys companionship and being part of daily life. Kairo will do best with an adopter who understands his energy and is committed to continuing his training building confidence, reinforcing boundaries and supporting the strong progress he's already making. Overall: Kairo is a fun-loving, affectionate dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He brings energy, humor and warmth into every day, balanced by a growing eagerness to learn and connect. With guidance, patience and plenty of engagement, Kairo will continue to thrive and become a loyal, well-rounded companion. He's truly a special dog ready to grow alongside his forever family.
