Dandelion is a 12 year old, 11 lb, white Mini Poodle. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives, and heartworm negative.

Dandelion is a sweet and gentle dog. While she is not a big couch cuddler, she is an amazing companion who loves to be near her people. If her foster mom crouches down, Dandelion will come as close as possible and gently sniff her face in lieu of kisses.

Dandelion loves to doze in her comfy bed. She enjoys the company of her canine friends and is happy to relax with them. However, no doggie friend can compare to her joy and comfort in being around her people.

Dandelion prefers to shadow her primary person and follow them around the house. She does have separation anxiety. Her anxiety tends to be more manageable when you have her practice being alone for short amounts of time while you are home. Such as when you go to the bathroom. While she does not do well in a crate, if she has run of the house she has been able to be alone for short periods of time.

Dandelion has come a long way from her previous life and has reached major milestones in her house training. With the help of a regular schedule, she has had great success doing her business in the yard with and will occasionally use a potty pad as a back up. She is also making great strides with harness training and walking on a leash!

Dandelion's ideal home would be a home with a yard with one or more people who are home most of the day. She would happily be someone's whole world without doggie siblings. However, she is more than capable of enjoying the company of other dogs. As she comes from a hoarding situation, she is likely to adjust to a new home more quickly if she has a similarly sized dog who is friendly and confident. Dandelion has not be kid tested, given her age and size, her foster thinks she would be fine if dog-savvy visited her in her new home.
