Poodle and Havanese Dogs Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

Fluffy is a 9-month-old sweetheart weighing around 16 pounds, with the softest fluffy coat and the gentlest soul. Along with his four siblings, Fluffy came from a home filled with yelling and chaos, growing up as a puppy in that environment made them nervous and unsure of the world around them.

Because of this, Fluffy will need a patient and understanding family willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe again. The most important thing to know is that Fluffy is NOT aggressive or violent in any way. He is incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate - just shy and a little fearful at first.

Great with dogs and cats
Very gentle and loving
Potty trained and lets you know when he needs to go outside
Smart and well-mannered
Needs patience, kindness, and time to build trust

Fluffy may take a little while to open his heart, but once he trusts you, the bond you create with him will last forever. He is the kind of dog who will quietly change your life with his love.
