About Essex
Essex is a delightful dog in foster care in Houston, Texas, waiting for his forever home. He’s about 5 years old and weighs around 10 lbs. His unique mix of Miniature Poodle and Cocker Spaniel gives him a lively, playful spirit that shines through when he’s entertaining himself with toys or zipping around the yard. Essex enjoys racing after other dogs, but he would thrive best as an only dog or with one easy-going companion. He’s generally well house-trained but has been known to mark his territory occasionally. He’s quite the character with an alpha personality, which is why an experienced owner suited for him is essential. He walks well on a leash and, despite being shaved down when rescued, his coat is coming back in nicely. Essex will not be placed in homes with children under 8 years old. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. If you think you can provide Essex with the understanding and dedicated home he needs, he could make a wonderful companion.
