About Cruiser

Meet Cruiser, a quirky Poodle mix who weighs about 16 pounds and is around 4 years old. After traveling across states, he's found his way to Texas and is happy to call it home. Cruiser enjoys car rides and walks beautifully on a leash. He’s house trained and crate trained, making him an ideal companion for adventures like hiking or jogging. Playing with toys is his favorite pastime, and he gets along with female humans and other dogs. However, Cruiser requires a special home. He’s cautious around men and prefers slow movements, especially during mealtime. Patience is key as he builds trust, which allows his playful side to shine through. His current foster insists on his rule of 'four-on-the-floor,' which helps him feel secure. This little guy thrives in an environment with children over 10 who understand how to interact with dogs positively. Cruiser would do well in an apartment and needs grooming every 3-4 months, preferably from a patient female groomer. He’s looking for a loving foster or forever family that can appreciate his unique personality. He deserves a home where he feels safe and valued. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
