Dante

Meet Dante! <br/><br/>Dante is a 5-year-old, 45-pound Standard Poodle with a beautiful apricot/beige curly coat and a quiet, independent personality. He came to Dogworks from a puppy mill, and he’s learning that life can be pretty good when you finally get to relax and just be a dog. <br/><br/>Dante is more of a lounger than a player. He’s happy to spend his time relaxing, but he does enjoy getting out for two nice walks a day. Toys really aren’t his thing, but following his favorite person around? Now that’s something he’s good at! Once you’re his person, you may find yourself with a fluffy shadow wherever you go. <br/><br/>He does best in a calm, quiet home without children. Dante is great with women, although he can be nervous around men and will need a little patience as he gets comfortable. Loud noises, yelling, and overly energetic or reactive dogs can frighten him, so a peaceful environment is important for this boy.<br/><br/>Dante can live with other dogs as long as introductions are done properly, and he can also live with cats. When he first arrived in foster care, he needed some time to adjust to sharing his space with the other animals, but he has settled in nicely.<br/><br/>He’s comfortable walking on a leash and is crate trained. He’s still working on his potty training, so his new family will need to be patient and consistent while he continues to learn. When he first came to his foster home, he did some marking indoors, but belly bands helped while he adjusted. He may also howl when he hears sirens and can make a quick dash for the door when he needs to go outside, so his family will need to be mindful of open doors.<br/><br/>Dante will need regular professional grooming to keep his curly coat looking and feeling its best.<br/><br/>What kind of home is Dante looking for? A quiet home with adults who understand that not every dog is going to be a social butterfly right away. He needs someone who will respect his space, give him time to feel safe, and appreciate his quieter ways. He doesn’t need a house full of activity or a basket full of toys. A couple of good walks, a comfy place to nap, and a person to follow around may be just about perfect for him. <br/><br/>Dante has spent enough time in a world where he didn’t get to choose much for himself. Now he deserves a home where he can feel safe, settle in at his own pace, and enjoy the simple things in life.<br/><br/>Could you be the person Dante has been waiting for? <br/><br/>He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $350<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html
