Meet Abbott — a 2âyearâold, 42 lb Poodle mix with the heart of a cuddle bug and the spirit of a loyal sidekick! Quick Facts: Name: Abbott Breed: Standard Poodle Mix Age: 2 years old Weight: 42 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No Good with Dogs: Yes (must have a companion dog in his forever home!) Good with Cats: Not tested, but likely fine Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: No, but he would love one! About Abbott’s Breed: Our best guess is that Abbott is a Standard Poodle mixed breed. Standard Poodles are highly intelligent, athletic, and peopleâoriented dogs known for their elegance and sharp minds. They are quick learners who enjoy having a job to do, whether it’s training games, outdoor adventures, or simply staying engaged with their families. Despite their fancy reputation, they’re playful, affectionate, and often quite goofy once they feel comfortable. Their lowâshedding coats require regular grooming, but in return you get a loyal, intuitive companion who loves being part of the action. A Standard Poodle thrives in a home that can offer daily mental and physical stimulation. They do well with active individuals or families who enjoy walks, playtime, and consistent training. Because they bond closely with their people, they flourish in homes where they’re included in everyday life rather than left alone for long stretches. With structure, affection, and plenty of engagement, a Standard Poodle becomes a devoted, joyful, and wonderfully wellârounded companion. What to Love about Abbott: This sweet boy lives for companionship and feels happiest when he’s with his people or another friendly dog. Being left alone makes him anxious, so he’s looking for a home where someone is around often and where he’ll have a doggie buddy to keep him company. Abbott loves everyone — adults, kids, dogs — and would likely do just fine with cats too. He’s potty trained, easygoing, and loves both lounging around the house and getting outside for walks or yard zoomies. In fact, watching him run is pure comedy gold — he gallops like a joyful little deer and has the pictures to prove it! He’s not crate trained yet, but he can try and work on it! Abbott walks beautifully on a leash, has moderate energy, and is always up for whatever his humans are doing as long as he gets to be part of it. He’s also an elite-level cuddler who will happily melt into your arms at the end of the day!
