He needs a family that understands he needs guidance and is committed to helping him build confidence through calm leadership, desensitization, and patience.<br/><br/>With the right home, Angel Eyes blossoms into a loving, affectionate, and easygoing companion. He adores other dogs, does well with cats, and loves his people. He enjoys playing with his dog friends but is also happy curling up for cuddles with the people he trusts most.<br/><br/>***His Story<br/><br/>When Angel Eyes arrived, he was severely matted with foxtails embedded throughout his coat, ears, and even his groin. The painful mats and infections made grooming and veterinary care understandably terrifying for him. His reactions were rooted in fear and pain—not aggression. Now that hes healthy and comfortable, his sweet personality shines through more every day.<br/><br/>***Grooming Requirement<br/><br/>Maltese/Poodle mixes require professional grooming every 46 weeks. Without routine grooming, their coats become painfully matted, trap debris like foxtails, and lead to skin infections. Regular grooming is an essential part of keeping Angel Eyes healthy and comfortable. (Note two of his pics show him after grooming... three are when his hair has grown out a bit--both are adorable!)<br/><br/>Overall, Angel Eyes is an affectionate, playful little dog who loves people, dogs, and cats. Hes ready to leave his past behind and find a family who will love him, care for him, and continue helping him grow into the confident little dog hes meant to be.<br/><br/><br/>***To be considered for adoption, please submit a detailed application at www.K9ppr.org. Detailed applications are required to help ensure the best possible match for both our dogs and their new families.
