Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Can you say ADORABLE?! Alex is a very intelligent 5 yr old Poodle mix who weighs about 23 lbs. He bonds quickly to his humans (especially women!), and is very affectionate and loyal once he feels comfortable. He's the guy at the party who watches quietly from the corner, then all of a sudden is dancing on the coffee table!
Alex is housetrained and good with other dogs. While he can be initially hesitant with men, Alex is smart and responds quickly to positive reinforcement. He has improved so much since coming into foster care. He was initially growly with visitors to the home and aggressive with them. His foster parents have done an amazing job in helping him deal with new people in a more positive way. Alex has come such a long way in a short time. He's smart and minds well. He’s perfectly content to lounge around all day, but also loves walks which are made easy with his special harness. Exercise is a great way for him to burn off stress and anxiety, and also to bond with his human.
Alex needs someone who is calm, firm and willing to implement very simple guidelines in order to help him succeed. He does have some separation anxiety and will bark when left alone and he may not be the best apartment dog because of this. He can also bite when stressed and for this reason he requires an experienced owner and a home without small children. Given patience and a lot of love, Alex has unlimited potential to amaze and complete your family portrait.
