My story

Mario is a four-year-old neutered male mini poodle mix. He has a beautiful apricot coat and weighs 12.5 lb. He has been neutered, received a health check and microchip. His vaccines and prevention medication are all up to date. He eats kibble mixed with wet food twice a day and the occasional soft treat. He is a very affectionate boy who loves to jump on your lap for a snuggle. Mario is housetrained. He goes to the door and sits when he needs to go out. He knows “sit” and comes when called. He gets along with other dogs well. He is a bit too interested in cats for their liking. He enjoys time outside exploring the backyard and walks well on a leash. He is beginning to play with soft toys and balls. He can do stairs and jump on furniture. He prefers sleeping on a chair or sofa to a dog bed. At night he sleeps on the foot of his fosters bed. Mario is not destructive and can be left on his own in the home for several hours with no issues. He is generally quiet in the house except for the joyful and enthusiastic welcome home barks when you return from being out. His new owners should monitor him carefully in new situations as visiting a vet or groomer might be stressful for him. Mario has loved everyone he has met while in foster care and is looking for a new owner who wants a happy loving companion. He is being fostered in Waterloo.January 26, 2026, 10:27 am
