Haaland - Miniature Poodle and Havanese Dog for Adoption in Marina Del Rey, California

Halland is a dream pup! This tiny boy (8 lbs) is about 5 years old and is SO stinkin cute! Haaland is a very sweet boy who absolutely loves his people. He's a gentle, sweet, affectionate boy. He has minor separation anxiety and will sometimes bark or cry when left alone, but he settles down after 5-10 minutes of being alone.

Haaland currently lives with another dog and looooves to play with him! Other dogs he more keeps to himself around, but is fine with them, we think it depends on the particular dog whether or not he will want to play with them.

Halland loves a cozy spot on the couch, and that is where he spends most of his day.

He is house trained, but he does still mark in the home. We found Haaland living at a construction site, surviving off of scraps he found in the trash, so he's come such a long way, and the only thing he still needs some work on is the marking.

We think he is a mini poodle/Havanese mix. See photo of him when his hair is long.

He is a great dog, an easy pup. who is great with all people, kids and other dogs.
