Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Radar!

Radar is nakey because he came to us as one big tangled, matted disaster. He's a poodle/shih tzu mix so you can imagine just how much hair there was and just how tangled those tangles were. It goes without saying that he will need regular grooming and coat maintenance going forward so that doesn't happen again because it wasn't fun for anyone involved, least of all for Radar.

Radar is about 2.5yo and he's just over 15lbs. He's a small dog with a big voice, lots to say, and an exhausting amount of energy. Shared walls/apartments may not be ideal because of his big voice and his penchant for sharing his opinions whether you like it or not. He gots REALLY excited when he sees someone that he likes and that's when a lot of his shouting happens.

He is an extrovert to the EXTREME. His social battery does not drain or run out. He thrives on social interaction and attention. Without attention, he will surely fade and wither away like a flower without sunshine. He has no reservations about climbing all over you from the first moment he meets you. He will need to stop and say hello to every single person you pass when you go for walks. He is such an extrovert that he has the tendency to almost choke himself out in his desperation to go and say hello to someone. He's got a pretty strong pull for a little shrimp like him.

Radar LOVES other dogs...maybe a little too much because it's very much like he wants to be in their skin with them. So, you know, a tolerant dog that doesn't mind his Buffalo Bill tendencies would be best. He is terrified of cats so dog-friendly cats would be fine as long as they don't bully him. Kids 8+ would be best, especially if they'll play with him and help him burn off some of that wild child energy.

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.

The Poodle is a highly intelligent and elegant dog breed known for its distinctive curly coat and graceful appearance. Originally bred as water retrievers, Poodles come in three size varieties Standard, Miniature, and Toy each with their unique characteristics but sharing the breed's alert and friendly nature. Renowned for their hypoallergenic qualities and keen sense of humor, Poodles excel in various dog sports and activities, making them versatile companions suitable for different lifestyles and living situations.
