About Fleetwood
Fleetwood, a tender 1.5-year-old Toy Poodle mix, is an incredibly sweet and gentle soul who is beginning to find his confidence. Weighing in at just 12 pounds, he came from the shelter feeling frightened, and the world still feels overwhelming for him. Though he's nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, Fleetwood has started to show signs of trust, recently resting his head on his foster, a significant step for him. He feels much more secure around other small dogs, taking comfort from their presence. While he’s been left alone with foster siblings without issue, he appreciates a predictable routine to help him feel safe. Right now, he's not interested in toys, but treats like cheese, frozen peas, and green beans are a hit. Outdoor experiences are still scary for Fleetwood. He finds walks intimidating and tends to cower when faced with leashes or collars. Though he has done well with potty pads, adopters should expect some accidents as he adjusts. His currently low energy level likely ties into his fear; with more confidence, he’s sure to become a more active little dog. Fleetwood needs a patient, understanding adult home where he can progress at his own pace. An experienced adopter who knows how to work with fearful dogs would be ideal, especially one with at least one friendly small dog for support. As he startles easily, a quiet, adults-only environment is essential. Regular grooming will also be necessary, preferably from a mobile groomer to keep him comfortable. This little guy won’t be an instant best friend, but watching him discover that the world can be a safe place is a deeply rewarding experience. With time, routine, and a lot of love, Fleetwood has the potential to blossom into a sweet and loving companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
