Scotch - Maltese and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Roseville, California

Scotch is a sweet boy who can be very reserved when meeting new people or adjusting to new places. The world can feel a little scary for him at first, so he will need a patient and understanding home that will give him the time he needs to settle in and feel comfortable. Once Scotch begins to trust you, his loving personality really starts to shine. He enjoys staying close to his favorite people and loves gentle affection and companionship. He may not be the life of the party right away, but he forms very special bonds with the people he feels safe with. Because Scotch needs time to adjust and can be sensitive in new environments, we are recommending that any children in his new home be 10 years old or older so they can respect his boundaries. He may also do well with other calm dogs with slow and proper introductions. Scotch is looking for a kind and patient family who will help him build confidence and show him that the world is not so scary. In return, you will gain a loyal and loving companion.
