My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Stark is currently being fostered for us by his owner, but the dog does not like toddlers (they have 2 and he chases cats and chickens) So she needs to get him either adopted or into another foster home ASAP.

Stark is super sweet and curious with all adults. He loves to ride in a car, he loves to play in water, loves walks...and he sits to wait for his food.

Stark just need a calmer environment to live in, with less stimulation as far as cats and chickens and more mental stimulation. He needs to play with interactive toys for his food or treats (he loves that ) and would likely benefit from being introduced to word buttons, in which animals learn to communicate with humans. Being a poodle, he likes to overthink everything, so giving him something to actually think about is good!

Stark's best home would be a person with no children in the home, who has a quiet home and could take him on walks around the neighbor hood, who could play with him at home with interactive toys, and who would understand the poodle's nature. An experienced poodle owner would be great but not a necessity.

Stark is housetrained, up to date on all vaccines and microchipped.
