A little bit about Sosa: - potential for home with children, all interactions must be supervised - potential for dog in home pending successful introductions - no history with cats; prey drive noted on walks towards small animals
Introducing Sosa, a gorgeous standard poodle who is on the hunt for his forever home! Sosa, through no fault of his own, was surrendered to our care in December and had a difficult time settling in shelter. Understandably, he was very stressed, which is why he is now waiting for his family in a foster home! His foster parent says that he is quite tall for his age and really strong. Sosa loves to go on walks so he can sniff everything he can find, and he`s learning to walk with a loose leash with the help of some gentle positive reinforcement techniques! He loves playing wrestling games with his foster brother Bentley, who is also a black standard poodle, and might do really well with a doggie friend going forward! He also lives with a cat, who he is very curious about and has bumped noses with a few times. With that being said, Sosa does display prey drive towards small animals outside, so slow introductions to any possible cat friends is a must. Sosa may have some separation stress and will need patience while he works through this. His favourite toys are Kongs; he likes to toss them for himself, chew on them or even bring them to you to throw. When it`s time to read or watch TV, Sosa is happy to relax and snuggle in with you to keep you warm. He`s described as being a very gentle, happy-go-lucky guy, but he can be a little nervous around new people and other dogs at first. Despite this, he warms up quickly and we`re sure he`ll be more confident as he grows! His foster mom says he`s very smart, learns quickly, and that he`s going to be the best dog ever if somebody’s willing to work with him and be patient while he continues learning.
