Dustin - Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Dustin

Absolutely adorable joy-filled Maltese boy. 7 lbs of soft, sweet cuddlebug. He is 10ish yrs old so not a puppy but loves to play with his human then nap next to you. His energy is great but comes in short bursts then he is ready to cuddle and nap.

He is well behaved and walks on a leash very well. Loves car rides and going new places. Has never met a stranger and enjoys people while also checking his human is nearby. He is more focused on his human than other dogs. He needs time to meet, get used to and be reminded not to chase cats.

Dustin deserves all the love, fun and adventure he can get as his past is reflected in a broken jaw with only 2 non-usable teeth left. But in typical Dustin fashion, he attacks his food with enthusiasm! He is given soft food but he loves it all and will gobble up pack mates' dry food if given the chance. He also has nasal fistulas which impede breathing through his nose. But again, his response is NO PROB! He coughs it off and plows ahead. Recommended his human is present when eating just in case, but no problems with aspirating at fosters. He loves having chew type objects but needs softer ones that he can gum.

Dustin is used to a kennel but only needs one if you need to restrict his movement at times. He loves free roaming and prefers to be with a person. He is a climber and a jumper to be able to be with his human. Dustin enjoys a fluffy bed and prefers to potty outside but will use a potty pad when he has to go.
Anyone who is lucky enough to get this boy needs to buy a lottery ticket because good luck is coming with him
