Mars

My story

Mars is a very special 8 pound, 6-month-old poodle who is looking for a loving, patient home where he can truly blossom. Shy and a bit insecure, Mars is still learning about the world, and he would thrive in a calm, quiet environment where he feels safe. He’s a gentle soul who would benefit greatly from having another small, confident dog by his side. A furry friend would help him feel more secure and guide him as he builds confidence in his new home. Mars hasn’t had much exposure to socialization, so he’s a little unsure of the world around him. He’s looking for an adopter who understands his need for patience and time to adjust. With the right person to show him that life doesn’t have to be so scary, Mars will begin to open up and show his sweet, loving side. He would do best in a quiet home, without small children, where he can feel calm and not overwhelmed. Mars isn’t ready for a busy household, but in a peaceful, understanding space, he’ll thrive and become the loyal companion he was meant to be. If you have the patience and love to help Mars grow, he’s ready to find his forever home with you. Will you be the one to show Mars that he’s safe and loved? *Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only.
