Suki

My story

Suki  poodle, male - neutered colour is white with a faint tan topline short, curly coat UTD with all vetting  Approximately age =  10 years old  neutered male housetrained    Suki is an approximately 10-year-old neutered male miniature poodle mix who weighs around 20 pounds . He's a loving, calm and playful guy once you gain his trust. He's currently living with two other dogs and, while he can be a bit of a bully at first, once he’s told "no thank you" he stops.  He shows no interest in playing with other dogs, but he does love hanging out in the yard with them. His reaction to cats is unknown. He greets new people with a happy face and a wagging tail. Suki enjoys being with people and will happily jump on a bed or couch to cuddle...just to be close. He loves his toys, but his foster parent does not leave his toys lying around as this can trigger him to guard them from the other dogs/people. Suki is always willing to trade a toy for another toy or a treat. Any unwanted behaviour is usually resolved quickly by signaling him to stop... he is such a good boy! He walks well on a leash and travels well in a car. He is not a barker, nor is he destructive when left alone. He is also housetrained. Suki is very suspicious of handling when being groomed or being checked. He doesn’t like being groomed around his eyes or feet and needs to be muzzled for this. Otherwise, he is excellent to bathe/blow-dry (muzzled). It has taken time and patience but when he comes in from the yard, his foster mom can now slowly dry off his feet/legs (no muzzle) as he's forming new responses to his triggers. This trust will need to be built up in any new home he goes to. Lots of positive reinforcement has and will continue to help. Suki appears to have some hearing loss and is on special food for allergies (which can be purchased at a pet supply store). He would do best in a home with a fenced yard, no small children and with someone who is home most of the day. Suki is microchipped and up-to-date on all vetting.  Are you the person who can give him the kind, patient, loving forever home he wants?        August 30, 2025, 11:35 am
