About Stuart

Meet Stuart, a playful little guy with a big personality! This adorable white Miniature Poodle is a 9-year-old senior who proves that age is just a number. Weighing around 18 pounds, he has an energetic spirit and a love for playtime that never wanes. Stuart came to Melissa's Second Chances due to a change in his family's circumstances, and now he’s on the lookout for a forever home filled with companionship and fun. Stuart thrives on social interaction—he gets along wonderfully with other dogs after a proper introduction, and he's had happy experiences with a cat who became a true playmate! Children of all ages, including toddlers, have also been a part of his life, and he adapts well. Although he can be quite vocal when he hears unfamiliar sounds, especially kids playing nearby, he needs a patient family to help channel his enthusiasm. Regular playtime and a consistent routine will keep him engaged and help manage his barking. This sweet boy is crate-trained and settles down nicely when left alone, though he may need some help fine-tuning his potty habits. Previously, he experienced a spinal condition that temporarily affected his back legs, but he’s currently healthy and enjoys running around happily. It's best for his future family to discuss his medical history and any necessary precautions with a vet. Stuart is currently in a loving foster home where he’s living life to the fullest. Could he be the fun-loving companion you've been searching for? Ready to meet, apply now!
