Story
Meet Chase Male DOB: May 7, 2026 Weight: 5 lbs (current — still growing) Breed: Poodle / Terrier Mix Expected Size: Small breed (small to medium when fully grown) Neutered (Fixed): Pending (age-appropriate) Vaccines: In Progress (puppy vaccines up to date for age) Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Chase is a sweet, gentle, and loving young puppy with a calm and affectionate nature. He enjoys being close to people and feels safest when he is being held, comforted, or included in daily life. He has a soft personality and a kind spirit that makes him easy to fall in love with. At this very young age, Chase is still learning about the world around him. Everything is new, and he is in a critical stage of development where love, structure, and positive experiences will shape the adult dog he becomes. He enjoys quiet cuddles, gentle play, and exploring at a puppy pace. As a Poodle / Terrier mix, Chase is likely to grow into a smart, curious, and people-oriented dog. This mix often produces dogs that are affectionate, alert, and eager to bond closely with their families. He will benefit from guidance, early training, and positive reinforcement as he grows. Chase would thrive in a home prepared for: Ongoing puppy training and supervision Daily care, playtime, and enrichment Positive socialization experiences Structure, consistency, and routine A lifelong commitment to his emotional and physical well-being He is in the earliest stage of life and will need a family ready for the full puppy journey, including training, patience, and long-term commitment. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like most rescue puppies, Chase may not have had early structure, exposure, or training before entering care. Puppies at this age are still developing basic life skills and require constant supervision and gentle guidance. Adopters should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, accidents, teething, nighttime wakeups, and learning household routines. These are completely normal and will improve with consistency and training. Chase will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Daily structure and routine Continued socialization and exposure Patience, consistency, and supervision Gentle guidance during development Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn routine 3 months to feel fully at home With stability and love, Chase will grow into a confident, happy companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes training, exercise, routine veterinary care, and emotional responsibility. Chase will need: Routine vet visits and vaccine boosters Preventative care (fleas, ticks, parasites) Proper nutrition for healthy growth Daily exercise and enrichment Safe indoor living environment Ongoing training and socialization Because he is so young, consistency, structure, and supervision are essential for healthy development. Chase is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
