Story
Meet Corduroy! This 11-lb terrier blend is 10 years old. All Corduroy wants is a friend who will snuggle him and love him forever.
General Behavior: Corduroy is an absolute sweetheart and a little cuddle bug. Nothing makes him happier than sitting beside you being pet, and if you pause for a moment he will nudge your hand with his head to get back to work. It’s adorable. He likes to make sure he has all your attention. When Corduroy is not snuggled up by your side he will follow you around. He grows very attached and is like a little shadow. If he is separated or not in the same room as his person he will begin to cry. If you leave or go out, he may cry at first when you’re gone, but eventually he settles in and takes his naps. He’s a big snoozer, and quite the snorer too lol.
Likes & Dislikes: Corduroy loves pats, snuggles, and being the center of attention! He is not food or toy motivated: he just wants cuddles. Corduroy is a more senior pup in the sense that he isn’t interested in toys or playing. He does have bursts of energy when you come home or after waking up in the mornings. He does a little downward dog dance. He is not a fan of abrupt movements or being picked up quickly, he would much rather come to you for snuggles.
Training: Corduroy is a little gentleman! He does well with his housetraining when let out regularly. He enjoys short walks and walks well on a leash. He rides well in the car, sleeps in the people bed at night, and generally has good basic manners.
Medical: In addition to the usual heartworm and flea preventatives, Corduroy needs animax ointment (about $10 for a tube) because he sometimes gnaws on his paws.
Other Animals: Corduroy doesn’t have much interest in other dogs. He may say hi for a bit but then he’s back on his mission for getting snuggled. He is very mellow. He hasn’t been cat tested, but he would probably be OK with them, too.
Children: Corduroy can be timid in new surrounding and loud noises or sudden movements startle him a lot. For this reason, he needs a home with calm, gentle, understanding teens only.
Home: Corduroy would do well in an apartment, condo, or single-family home, as long as someone is around more often than not.
Grooming: We don’t know how long Corduroy’s coat will grow, but he may need occasional grooming.
Overall: Corduroy will be an amazing companion for someone with the same relaxed energy as him, who is looking for a little one to love and snuggle on.
Is Corduroy the friend you’ve always wanted? Then visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with his foster family if it’s a match. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered and he has just had his teeth cleaned. The adoption donation for Corduroy has been reduced thanks to a generous grant from Kia and the Petfinder Foundation, and is $200.
