Duke

Mini Poodle – Male – 13 lbs – 3 yrs (approx)

Sponsored in honour and memory of the beloved Harley Davidson from the Malofy pack with love and sympathy Kelly Taylor.

 

I’ve been told that I am quite the looker and my fur is thick and soft. The colour of my eyes match my brown patches of fur. But that’s just my outside. Inside, I’m still scared and unsure of what I’m supposed to do. Until recently, I lived in a puppy mill and probably spent most of my time in a cage.

Things like stairs are so new to me – I just learned how to go up but I am still working on going down the stairs. It’s a good thing I’m small enough to carry! I’m also learning that I need to go outside to do my bathroom business so I am taken outside to the backyard many times a day. My foster mom says that will help me learn.

I like food and I’ve tasted all sorts of new things. Liver treats are yummy, but I’m not picky.

I am still a young guy so I like to play. I’ve discovered toys – I like most of them, but the furry flat ones are my favourite. Since my foster dog siblings are super old, they don’t like to play so I make up games to play alone, like seeing how high I can toss a toy and catch it. I live with a cat but he’s kinda bossy so he’s not fun to play with.

I have not mastered the leash yet. Whenever my foster mom takes it out, I run the other way. The few times she put one on me, I flattened to the ground, like a pancake. I think I need some time to get used to that. In the meantime, a house with a fenced in yard would be a great idea for me as I love to be outside. I don’t even mind the snow – sometimes I like to rub my face in it!

I’m looking for my forever family. I think I am a great dog and will make the best furry family member but I still have a lot of learning to do. So a family who will be patient with me and take the time to teach me what I still need to learn is something I would love. A bonus would be to have a dog sibling so I can learn from them too.
