Johnny - Poodle Dog for Adoption in Erin, Ontario

Johnny | 5 years old | 25 lb | Poodle mix | Charming, affectionate, gentle!| Toronto area

Heeeere's Johnny! Sorry, couldn't resist LOL. Now that that's out of the way let's talk about this angel of a boy. He is a total sweetheart, and a loyal friend. Basically, the whole package! Johnny is a true shadow and loves to follow you from room to room--imagine having these sweetheart trotting alongside you everywhere you go? He's also an amazing work-from-home companion, curling up quietly nearby while you focus on work. He makes friends everywhere he goes.

In addition to being a total sweetheart, Johnny is very well-behaved. He is great in the car, does not beg for food, is fully toilet trained, and never resource guards. He instantly charms everyone he meets including children, and does wonderfully with dogs off leash. On leash he's still unsure of dogs, so we're working on that. He's currently living with cats and doing well, though he enjoys chasing them sometimes so an older cat might not appreciate his brand of play. Johnny is ultimately more of a people person than an animal person; he's far more likely to want to say hello to a human than another dog.

Johnny is incredibly cute with gorgeous ombre curls (all natural, no salon upkeep required!) but his good looks pale in comparison to his sweet and winning personality. He is loyal, relaxed, adaptable, and loving. Cute quirks include inviting a belly rub every time you walk by and rolling on the ground and snorting like a little piglet when he's excited.

Johnny arrived with a skin condition and was very itchy. With medicated baths and allergy medication he is doing very well. He may always be a dog that needs allergy support, but based on his progress to date we don't anticipate this to be onerous.

If you are in the market for a curly little shadow, then consider applying for Johnny. https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application
