Meet Bud, a 2-year-old miniature poodle mix with a big personality packed into a small body! He's the kind of dog who instantly makes himself at home, especially if there's a cozy spot on the couch beside you. Bud is outgoing, playful, affectionate, and happiest when he’s curled up in your lap soaking up attention. He's a wonderful balance of energy – playful enough to enjoy adventures and games, but calm enough to settle in nicely at home for cuddle time afterward. One of Bud’s sweetest qualities is how polite he is with other dogs; he plays beautifully and reads their cues very well. He has especially enjoyed spending time with his foster's Australian Shepherd and has shown himself to be a respectful and social companion. Bud has also done wonderfully around children, showing a gentle and friendly nature with them. He appears to be mostly cat friendly as well, though he may occasionally get playful and give chase, so slow introductions and supervision are recommended. Like many young dogs, Bud is still building confidence with car rides and can get a little anxious during them. With patience and positive experiences, he’s already making progress. His loving personality and willingness to connect with people make him such a rewarding little companion.
Ideal Home
Bud would thrive in a home that loves small dogs and wants a loyal best friend to share the couch, daily walks, and lots of affection.
Ongoing Health
Bud is neutered, vaccinated, and up to date on all preventions.
Training & Support
Bud is fully housebroken and crate trained for up to four hours. While he may get excited and pull a bit on leash when he spots another dog, he’s very redirectable and eager to learn, making continued leash training very manageable. He is still building confidence with car rides and can get a little anxious during them, so continued positive reinforcement will be beneficial.
