HandiSnacks is a 1 year old miniature Poodle. He’s very timid and not very trusting of people yet. He’s curious about the outdoors and all that he smells and he loves running laps in the yard. He seems to enjoy ‘freedom!’ more than anything. He’s curious about other animals, both cats and dogs and has been respectful to both. He’d do well with a calm confident dog friend to show him the ropes. He’ll definitely learn more confidence with affection and a feeling of safety in his environment.
He’s incredibly resilient and docile, but still has a lot of fear and it will take a special person and lot of patience to build trust. Or he may come out of his shell once he gets a lot of cuddles and figures out that he is safe. Either way he’ll make a great companion. He has been sleeping in a crate. He is just beginning with potty training. He is leery of going potty outside or while he’s on the leash. He needs help learning to walk on a leash, too. He’s super interested in other dogs, but calm and apprehensive about it as with everything. He seems curious and ready to learn. He is good with dogs and cats and doesn’t mind riding in the car.
----- A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters: Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means: ✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment. ✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing). ✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed. The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like. Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are. Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
