Milo, thinking himself some pretty hot s**t, asked the groomer for the wolf in sheep’s clothing look. Somewhat humbled, he came out resembling a dog in a lamb costume. Whoopsie. He had a rockstar thing going on when he walked through that door that almost screamed deviant.The kind of dog that would not only hold but caress eye contact with you while pi***ng on your stuff. Utterly sanitized now, he actually looks much more like he behaves — polite, respectful, eager to please. This 3-year-old standard poodle (50 curly lbs) is lovely, housebroken, very smart and social, and a fast learner. He’s been ok left home alone so far and is cuddly without being needy. He could use some continued leash training, especially with greeting other dogs — he often gets so excited to say hi that he can’t contain himself, doesn’t read their interest level accurately, and overwhelms them or gets frustrated if he can’t get close. A little impulse control is what he needs, plus an active lifestyle. Like 90 min of exercise every morning + potty breaks and brain games. His foster mom says: “Milo is the sweetest, snuggliest, smartest gentle giant. He is great in the apartment — potty trained, not destructive, and mostly quiet. He is constantly looking to put his head in your lap or lean his head into your legs but is happy to relax by himself if you need to get things done. He is very food motivated and eager to please which makes training easy and fun. He is still learning manners on the leash as he adjusts to the city but has been improving every day. With his long legs, he would make a great running buddy. After a good 60-90 minute walk in the morning, he is happy to nap until he gets some afternoon playtime and another walk, and he is content to chill at home or at our local coffee shop saying hi to everyone who passes by. We cannot emphasize enough just how sweet and friendly this dog is!” Interested in adopting? Submit an application at socialteesnyc.org or email your point person if you’ve already been approved!
