About Skittles

Meet Skittles from our Sweet Temptations litter! At just 14 weeks old and weighing 11 pounds, he brings an abundance of joy wherever he goes. This Poodle mix is not your average puppy; he's affectionate, playful, and always ready for cuddles. Skittles exudes a charming personality that could make anyone believe he’s been sprinkled with sugar. His foster describes him as the life of the party, eager to engage with toys, splash in water, and be around other dogs. However, he’s not one for fetch—he prefers to supervise toy retrievals rather than fetch them himself. Though small enough to fit behind a throw pillow, Skittles has a big heart and a cheerful nature. He’s outgoing and amiable, so meeting new people should be a breeze for him. He hasn't yet encountered children or cats, so that remains to be seen, but he’s consistently happy and curious. As for his energy level, he’s rated a lively 7 out of 10 and will need regular exercise—either in a securely fenced yard or through adventurous outings. Skittles is still working on his potty training and doesn’t yet know commands, making it a perfect time for his adopting family to guide him during this crucial learning phase. He’s a good little boy at home, keeping out of trouble so far, but as he grows into his puppy self, there's sure to be a bit of mischief along the way. Skittles needs a loving family ready to embrace the energetic yet cuddly spirit of a young puppy. With patience, guidance, and lots of affection, this sweet little whirlwind can flourish into a lifelong companion. If you think Skittles could brighten your days, reach out to apply for his adoption and get ready for a lifetime of joy!
