Story
🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster home
Hello, my name is Sio! 🐶🤎 I’m a 3-year-old male Poodle mix, and I was rescued from a breeding facility. Now, I’m ready to find the family who will love me and stay by my side for the rest of my life. I’m a happy, energetic, and playful boy who loves having fun! I enjoy running around and playing inside the house, and I’m just as excited when I get to go outside and stretch my legs. But don’t let my playful side fool you—I also know how to relax. As long as someone I love is nearby, I’m perfectly happy to curl up and rest while enjoying some quiet time together. 🥰 And if you have treats, you might become my new best friend! 😂 I absolutely LOVE treats, and I especially enjoy chewing on bones. Squeaky toys are another one of my favourites, so I’d love a family who will play with me and keep me entertained!
You also don’t need to worry too much about leaving me home alone. I don’t show signs of separation anxiety, and I don’t have destructive habits like chewing up furniture or making a mess while I’m alone. I’m actually a pretty good boy when my family needs to step out. 🤎 One of my biggest strengths is that I really, really love people. I’m a very friendly and affectionate boy, and I love being close to the people I care about. Even when I’m resting, I prefer to be beside someone or somewhere nearby where I can see them. So if I become part of your family, you should probably be prepared to have a little furry shadow following you around the house! 🐾 I also get along very well with other dogs! I love playing with my canine friends, and I’m currently living happily with another dog in my foster home. I enjoy meeting new doggy friends and can have a wonderful time playing and socializing with them.
There are still a few things I’m learning, though! I’m still working on my leash manners. When I go outside, I get so excited that I sometimes pull forward and want to hurry along. My foster family is helping me practise walking nicely on a leash, and I’m slowly learning that walks are more fun when we take our time together. 🐕💨 My potty training is also almost there! Most of the time, I do very well, but when I get extremely excited or worked up, I may occasionally have an accident. I’m still practising, and with a little patience and consistency from my forever family, I’m sure I can become even better. 😊 There is one important thing I’d like my future family to know about me. Sometimes, I get a little startled if a hand suddenly reaches toward me from somewhere I cannot see. I’m not aggressive at all, but unexpected touches can scare me. If you approach me slowly and make sure I can see you before touching me, I feel much safer and more comfortable. Once I know what’s happening, I’m happy to be close to you. 🤎
I think I could be happy in many different kinds of homes. Whether you’re a family with several people or a single person looking for a loving companion, I can be a wonderful match. What matters most to me is having someone who will include me in their life and let me stay close. I’m also the kind of boy who can become very attached to my favourite person. Sometimes, I meet someone and immediately decide, “Yep, you’re my person!” 🥹🤎 Once I love someone, I love them deeply. So if you welcome me into your family, I may become your little shadow, following you around and happily staying right by your side. I’m looking for someone who will play with me, help me practise my walks, be patient while I learn, and give me plenty of love and companionship. I’ve already been through a lot in my life. Now, I’m hoping that my next chapter will be the one where I finally get to stay. I’m Sio, and all I’m looking for is a family to call my own. Will you be my forever family? 🐾🤎
