Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Kona is an adorable 2 year old poodle mix. He does not shed and he has the best personality. He LOVES his person once he is bonded. He wants to be with you always and will offer you his unconditional love. He gets along with most other dogs and every person he has met. He is learning the leash (he walks but not with much experience or confidence) According to his former owners he was house trained. He would love to sleep with you if you will let him. He does not have much crate experience but he tolerated crating quite well. Kona weighs about 9 lbs but could stand to gain a little weight.

Kona is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.

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.
