About Maurice

Meet Maurice. Maurice is a 1-year-old mini poodle mix, weighing in at about 14 pounds of quiet hope and gentle sweetness. Though we may never know the details of his early life, it’s clear he didn’t always feel safe, and he is still learning to trust. He is a sensitive soul who requires love, patience, and a gradual, understanding approach. A family without small children would be ideal for him. New environments can overwhelm him, and the bustling, noisy atmosphere of the rescue has been particularly challenging. While he’s safe here, the continuous activity leaves him feeling unsure. However, beneath this nervous exterior is a little dog yearning for connection. You can see it in the way he watches, lingers close, and quietly hopes for love. Given time and kindness, Maurice will blossom into a deeply loyal and affectionate companion. He does well around his kennel buddies and finds comfort in their presence, which can help him feel more secure as he adjusts. Maurice would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can move at his own pace and discover that the world can be a safe, loving place. If you have a gentle heart and the patience to help a shy dog find his confidence, Maurice is waiting for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
