Havanese and Miniature Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

Name: Grasshopper
Age: 1.5 Years
Weight: 18 lbs
Gender: Intact Male
Breed: Small Doodle Blend

Grasshopper is a gentle, sensitive little boy who is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. He may take some time to warm up and build trust, but once he does, he blossoms into a very loving and affectionate companion.

Coming from a home with less-than-ideal conditions where he lived with multiple other dogs, Grasshopper would greatly benefit from a home with another friendly, confident dog. A canine companion can help him continue to gain confidence and adjust more comfortably to his new environment.

Grasshopper was cooperative and calm for grooming, showing that he responds well to gentle handling. His personality is very much slow and steady, and he thrives when given patience and understanding. He is currently timid on a leash but will continue to improve with time, consistency, and positive experiences.

As he transitions into home life, Grasshopper will need support with housetraining and learning household routines. A calm, patient home willing to move at his pace will help him truly flourish.

Grasshopper is required to be neutered prior to adoption. His neuter can be sponsored for $100 here:

If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion and are willing to give him the time he needs to shine, Grasshopper may be the perfect addition to your family.
