Standard Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Wilkesboro, North Carolina

Major is a handsome male poodle mix, about 4 years old and weighing 65 lbs. He’s very friendly and eager for love and attention. He enjoys taking walks and riding in the car. He is house trained and good in a crate/kennel but may need a little time to adapt to the routines in a new home. He is affectionate, responsive and eager to please!
Major has been very good with other dogs in his foster home. Due to his size and playfulness, he would probably be best with older children. He has shown some interest in cats, so he might need some supervision with them at first. A home with a large, physically fenced yard is preferred.
Major came to us with a condition called entropion that will probably require surgery—his eyelids roll inward, causing irritation to the eyes that over time could impair his vision. And, like all doodles, he will need regular grooming. So, he’s looking for a family that is able to invest in his health and care. You will be repaid with a lifetime of fun and adoration!
Major is neutered and up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. If you are interested in adopting Major, please apply here: https://humanesocietyofwilkes.org/adopt/application. If you have questions about Major and the adoption process, please contact his foster home at blairhsow@gmail.com. Meetings are arranged only after an application has been approved.

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.
