Story
Looking for a home for our loved cream toy poodle. He is 3 years old. Born 12/7/2021. About 7-8lbs. He is a very intelligent and sweet dog however he has become increasingly aggressive towards children. He was rescued by us when he was hit by a car at 6 months old. He had a successful surgery and it does not affect him in any way. He was raised in my home with my children and is wonderful with my tween daughter but aggressive towards kids including my 10 year old son. He has nipped my niece and nephew. He has had training and is very easy to teach but this is one thing we have not been able to overcome. He is scheduled to be neutered in April. I was hoping it would help but can no longer risk my sons safety while waiting to see. I love this dog, he is a Velcro dog and just wants to cuddle and sit with his person. Very affectionate. Does well with cats! He can be food aggressive when another animal goes near his bowl. Please consider giving our boy a home. He will steal your heart.

Story
College son’s dog, roommates don’t want a dog around. Will make an excellent family dog. Loves to play fetch and tug-of-war. Doesn’t bark or go after delivery people. Very happy, friendly dog. I think it has a lot of goldendoodle because he hasn’t shed at all. Sleeps in a kennel at night. Big paws so probably not done growing. Will be a big full size dog. Has been around other dogs and does well.
