My story

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

Meet Chester!

Chester is what happens if dryer lint gains awareness.

This ball of fluff is a one year old poodle mix and he's a little guy at just under 14lbs. Since he's so young and since he's a poodle mix and poodles are notoriously smart and in constant need of mental stimulation, Chester is a whole lot of puppy that will need a whole lot of work. He is high energy as it is and he will need to be kept busy and exercised regularly; short walks around the block won't cut it. He'll need treat puzzles, snuffle mats, scent games, etc. He's not the kind of dog that you can leave to his own devices. When poodles get bored...they let you know.

Chester previously lived with cats and with other dogs and reportedly did well with both. He's also done well with both while he's been here though he does seem a bit intimidated by dogs that are a lot bigger than him (fair, when you're the size of a dust bunny) and he would probably be too much for older, laidback dogs that want to do their own thing.

He's a happy, social little dude when it comes to people and has no issues making new friends. He's all wags and wiggles and big smiles and is genuinely just a little bundle of sunshine. He would do well with kids 8+, especially if the family has dog experience and can teach proper dog manners.

He'll need basic training (typical puppy things) and regular grooming (typical poodle things).
