Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello , my name is LANDON and boy, do I have a story to tell you.
I was picked up on the streets in South Florida by animal control as a stray with no microchip, and no one claimed me. I was a real mess. I would share a picture, but it would make you cry like my foster mom did. I would love, love to be the only dog in your life so I get all the attention.
I am about 4 years old, neutered, up to date with all my vaccines, heartworm and fecal negative, had a dental and I am on heartworm prevention. I have settled into foster care very well and love being in a home where I am loved and cared for. I am completely house trained, I have never been crated, and I sleep where I want, with my foster mom, on the couch or next to the bed on a rug.
I do have a couple of quirks but they are easy to work around. I eat my bowl of food in about 2 seconds flat so please let me finish before you take my bowl away because I may growl if you try. I do not bite. Just tell me to stop and I will. Going to the vet is my least favorite thing to do. I am kind of sassy with the vet techs but if you leave me on the leash and walk me to where you want, I will be a good boy.
I did go to a great trainer who said that no one has ever taught me manners. Just a subtle correction with the leash helps me understand what I am supposed to do. I need to be adopted by an experienced dog owner who will understand me and help me continue learning good manners. No first time dog owners please.
My good traits include sitting on your lap, snuggling, and getting belly rubs.
I will sit like a good boy to get a treat from you. I love car rides even though I bark at everyone who walks by. Tug of war is my favorite game. I like to go outside and patrol the yard to make sure there are no critters out there. My home needs to have a totally above ground fenced yard. I really want to be the only pet because I like all the attention. I have never been around children so no kids please.
I started out in rough shape but the good folks at Coastal Poodle Rescue have made sure that I have had excellent vet care, great grooming and a loving foster home. Please give me a chance. If you meet me, you would see that I would be a perfect guy for you.
