Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Cassius: Your New NYC Shadow

Breed: Maltese Poodle (Maltipoo) | Age: ~4 years young } Weight: A perfect 10 lbs of fluff | Current Location: San Diego (Flying to NYC on Feb 23!)

The Vibe

Ever felt like you were missing a tiny, white, fluffy shadow? Meet Cassius. This stellar fella is the definition of a Velcro dog. He doesn't just want to be in the same room as you; he wants to be exactly where the action is. He was surrendered by his previous owners and is looking for a "forever" that actually means forever.

The Logistics (Save the Date!)

Cassius is trading tacos for bagels! He touches down at EWR (Newark) on Monday, February 23rd at 3:20 PM.



Airport Pick-up is preferred. This sensitive prince handles transitions much better when he goes straight from the terminal to a loving lap.



What to Expect



The Pro: He is non-destructive! When left to free-roam, he's a perfect gentleman.


The Quirk: He's not a fan of the crate. It induces anxiety for him, so he'd prefer a home where he can lounge on a dog bed (or your sofa) instead.


The "Bootcamp": Coming from a foster home, he's making great progress, but a new city means a new routine. He'll need a patient human ready to lead "Leash-Walking & House-Training Bootcamp: NYC Edition."



Is Cassius Your Match?

If you're looking for a companion who will treat your presence like a gift, Cassius is waiting for you. Let's help this fluffy gentleman blossom in the Big Apple. Cassius is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program.

Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and neutered. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
