Poodle and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

LYLE is a stunning little silver/gray poodle mix boy looking for a home. Lyle loves people and attention. He's a cheerful little man. Our best guess on breed mix is poodle/shih tzu. Lyle is dog friendly, not cat tested yet. He's due for grooming so he's a little bushy right now, we'll post updated photos after his salon appointment. Lyle's dense curly coat will require grooming every 6-8 weeks, his adopter should plan for that regular expense. He's dog friendly but so far not terribly interested in other dogs. He appears to be housebroken. If you'd like to meet Lyle, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter.

Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.
