Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Mckinney, Texas

Meet Frosty!

DOB 1/25/2024 Weight: 11 lbs

Frosty was adopted as a puppy and is being returned due to medical issues in his family. He is very energetic, loves to play and run (zoom!), and is very vocal (so no apartments!). Frosty is super sweet and loving, very intelligent, is completely potty trained and never has accidents. He has a tendency to guard his things and for this reason, should not be in a home with small children. He hasn't been around other dogs or cats.

He sleeps in a kennel at night and eats twice per day (in the morning and in the afternoon). He prefers to eat on a mat rather than out of a bowl. Frosty's favorite thing is to chew on bully sticks throughout the day, likes to go to bed at about 9:00 PM and usually gets up at around 6:00 AM. He loves to be around people. He rings the bell to go outside or will look at you and bark. If you then ask him if he wants to go outside, he will bark again. Frosty likes to eat canned food mixed in with his dry food. Frosty doesn't shed but will need regular, professional grooming and daily brushing to be healthy and comfortable. Please consider this added expense when applying to adopt him.

Frosty's adoption fee is $500. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Please complete an adoption application and someone will reach out to you within 48 hours via email.
