Winter's Story

Hi, I'm Winter! I'm a 4-year-old Maltese-ShihTzu blend who weighs 16 lbs. I may have been named for my snow-white fur, but in terms of personality, I have a warm heart and will brighten your days with my sweet and loving personality and big, communicative eyes. <br/><br/>Favorite Things: Winter loves scritches! When he has a itch on his side, he will look to you with his expressive eyes and tilt his head towards what he wants, asking for help to get that itch for him. So a permanent itch scratcher is a must! He also loves running around and under the bed with his foster brother. Winter's special super power is he does all of this with only 3 legs. When it comes to toys, he usually picks the crinkle toys. He enjoys sitting in the backyard but doesn't need to be out there for a long time.<br/><br/>Training & Manners: Winter is a good boy! He is housetrained if let out frequently. Winter walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks. He enjoys sleeping next to his foster mom at night or cuddling on the couch. He is generally a chill little who has good basic manners. <br/><br/>Health & Care: Winter is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. He only has three legs, but that doesn't slow him down at all.<br/><br/>Other Animals: Winter has met other small dogs and has done great. He adores zoomies with his foster brother. He has not been tested around cats and his foster thinks he'd be okay with them. <br/> <br/><br/>Children: Winter has lived with young children and he seems to enjoy kids, as long as they are older and are able to read his cues about when he doesn't want to be picked up.<br/><br/>Ideal Home: Winter would do well in most any type of home, as long as he has a very securely fenced yard and few or no stairs. He has a history of being a bit of a hound-ini and an escape artist, so an extremely securely fenced yard is essential. <br/><br/>Overall: Has playful Winter's hopeful personality warmed your heart? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.
