Miniature Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Raleigh, North Carolina

Luna is a tiny girl with a huge heart and one very important requirement: she would love to be as close to her person as possible! If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants to be your shadow, Luna may be your perfect match.

Luna, or "Lou Lou," is a 2-year-old, tiny mixed-breed girl. We are guessing possibly mini-poodle, Yorkie, and possibly some Pekingese...but that's all a guess!

This sweet girl is doing well with house training and continues to improve with consistency and routine. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night and travels wonderfully in it too. Luna isn't very interested in toys, but she absolutely loves being held and cuddled. She's a quiet little lady who is content to simply be near her people, though she may let out a gentle whine when she's hoping for extra snuggles.

Luna walks beautifully on a leash. She loves going on walks with her two foster brothers and keeps right up with them despite her small size. Don't let her petite frame fool you-she's a tough little girl!

She has previously lived with a male dog and currently lives with two male dogs in foster care. Luna enjoys canine companionship but appreciates respectful dog friends who understand personal space. She will let other dogs know when she'd like to be left alone. Because of this, she may do best with a mature, easygoing dog companion. She has integrated well into her foster pack, but it took slow, careful introductions. We suggest that approach to adding any new animal to a home, so we hope that Luna's new family will be ready to go slow and be patient while any new furry family members get properly acquainted. While she hasn't been tested with cats, her foster family believes she would likely ignore them.

Luna is still building trust around mealtime and currently does best eating separately in her crate. She has become much more comfortable during feedings but may growl if someone approaches her food before she's finished. She takes treats nicely and continues to make progress.

Luna would thrive in a home where someone is around often and can give her the love, attention, and security she craves. Whether as an only dog or with a calm canine companion, Luna is ready to find a family who will cherish her gentle spirit and give her a lifetime of cuddles.

If you're looking for a devoted little companion who will happily be by your side through everything, Luna is waiting to meet you!

The miniature poodle is a highly intelligent and affectionate dog breed known for its curly hypoallergenic coat and charming personality. Originally bred as water retrievers, these small but sturdy dogs excel in various dog sports and activities. They are adaptable to different living situations, making them ideal companions for both families and individuals. Miniature poodles require regular grooming to maintain their coat, and their playful nature and trainability make them a popular choice for obedience and agility competitions.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
