Miniature Poodles are known for their bright intelligence, affectionate nature, and people oriented temperament. They’re small but sturdy companions who love being close to their humans, often forming deep bonds and thriving in homes where they can enjoy plenty of attention, structure, and gentle affection. Many Miniature Poodles have a playful streak even into their senior years, paired with a calm, cuddly side that makes them wonderful lap dogs.   Their ideal home is one that offers companionship, consistency, and softness. Miniature Poodles do beautifully with adopters who enjoy having a devoted little shadow, can provide a predictable routine, and appreciate a dog who wants to be part of daily life. They typically thrive with gentle kids, friendly small dogs, and even cats, making them a great fit for first time dog owners or quieter households. A home that values closeness and comfort is exactly where a Miniature Poodle shines!   What to Love about Addy: If you’re looking for a devoted cuddle bug, Addy is your girl! After a rough start, she has truly blossomed in her foster home and now spends as much of the day as possible curled up in her foster mom’s lap. She may be a senior, but she still loves to trot around the yard, explore, and play with dogs her size. Larger dogs can make her nervous, so she’s best suited for a home with small, gentle canine companions.   Addy is potty trained, crate trained, and has excellent house manners — she can even be left loose in the home when you’re away. She’s wonderful with cats and young children, making her an easy fit for many families, including first time dog owners.
