Angel - Shih Poo and Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Somerville, Massachusetts

Angel is an adorable 12 pound, 17 month old Shih-poo girl (Shih tzu Poodle mix) who is looking for a new home because her elderly owners could no longer take care of her. She is white with pretty beige and gray markings around her ears and muzzle, with a cute underbite. She is sweet and friendly and gets along with other dogs and cats and has a submissive personality with them. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccines.

Angel loves to go for walks and she rides well in the car. She is somewhat of a velcro dog and likes to be close to her people, and will sit on your lap if she has the opportunity. She also likes to sleep in the big bed with her foster parents and will sleep quietly through the night.

An ideal home for Angel would be with someone who is around most of the day to spend quality time with her. She likes to be included in the daily activities and would rather not be left home alone. She is mostly quiet and calm in the house and will lay nearby you if you are busy. She is curious and adventurous also, and enjoys going outside to take in the sights and scents.

Angel's elderly owners didn't go out much so they trained her to use pee pads indoors. She is now learning to go potty outside and is catching on quickly. Angel showed some resource guarding with certain treats with her elderly mother. She has not shown any of those behaviors in her foster home yet, but to be on the safe side, we think a home without children or elderly seniors would be the best situation.
