Alpaca

My story

ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Alpaca Age: 2 yrs old Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Mini poodle Colour: White Weight: 5kg / 11lbs   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! I’m Alpaca — a mini poodle with a big heart, ready to melt yours. Life hasn’t always been kind to me. My previous owner stopped caring, and little by little, I was left all alone — neglected and confused. I didn’t know what I had done wrong; I just knew I felt forgotten. Then one day, everything changed. A group of kind rescuers found me and gave me the love and care I had been missing for so long. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt safe. Now, I’m ready to begin a new chapter and I can’t wait to share it with a family who truly cares. Could that be you?   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been neutered and have no known health issues.   MY PERSONALITY I got my name because — you guessed it — I look just like a little alpaca! With my soft, curly white fur and bouncy steps, I’ve got a look (and a hop!) that’s hard to forget. I love people and make friends instantly — strangers become best friends in seconds. My silly side always shines through. I roll around in the grass just for fun, and I can turn an empty water bottle into the best toy ever. I’m cheerful, playful, and full of love — and it shows the moment you meet me. If you’re looking for a joyful, fluffy little buddy with a heart as big as my personality, I’m your guy!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS - With People: I absolutely love people. Whether you’re someone I’ve known forever or someone I’ve just met, I make friends fast. All it takes is a kind smile and a gentle scratch behind the ears, and I’ll be your loyal little shadow in no time. Once I warm up to you, I show my love by rubbing up against you and flopping over for belly rubs — it’s my special way of saying, “I trust you.” I thrive on attention and affection, and I’m always happy to return the favor with plenty of snuggles, tail wags, and unconditional love.   - With Dogs:  When it comes to other dogs, I’m more of a polite observer than a social butterfly. I’ll happily greet my fellow pups with a friendly sniff and a wag, but I don’t feel the need to join every game or chase. I’m not unfriendly — just a bit selective about my canine company. I prefer calm, respectful dogs and tend to keep to myself if things get too noisy or rowdy. I’m perfectly content doing my own thing, especially when I have my favorite humans close by. While I may not be the life of the dog party, I have plenty of love to give to the people who matter most to me. I don’t guard my food around people, but I will give growl to let other dogs know if they’re too close while I’m eating — it’s just my way of setting boundaries and feeling safe.   - With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, but with a slow and thoughtful introduction, I think I could learn to live peacefully with a feline friend.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a moderate energy level — I enjoy spending time outside, quietly exploring new sights and smells. Being outdoors is a peaceful way for me to satisfy my curiosity. When I’m back home, I’m just as happy to relax in a comfortable spot, enjoying the calm and quiet of the house. I appreciate both activity and rest, finding comfort in a balance between the two.   TRAINING & HABITS I generally walk nicely on leash, though I can get excited and pull a little when something catches my eye. The good news is, I’m quick to focus back on my handler when needed. Food is definitely one of my biggest loves! I enjoy sharing with people, but with other dogs, I can be a bit protective and will growl to let them know my boundaries. If I spot something tasty around my dog friends, my curiosity kicks in, and I might try to sneak a bite — but I’m learning to be more patient every day. I’m great at relaxing quietly in my kennel and will let you know politely if I need anything. I’m potty-trained both indoors and outdoors, and I’m a fast learner who picks up on the vibe of the room quickly. All in all, I’m a smart, loving pup who’s eager to keep learning and grow with my new family.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: - A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. - A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. - A family that can shower me with love and attention. - Understanding of my strong love for food and a commitment to helping me become more patient through positive reinforcement training   SPECIAL NOTES I’m an energetic and sweet little pup, bursting with bubbliness and ready to share it with my forever family. Curious and smart, I love exploring new things and learning every day. Don’t let my small size fool you — I may be tiny, but I have a big personality! When I play with other dogs, I sometimes forget just how small I am and bounce around like I’m the biggest pup in the park. My playful silliness will always keep you smiling and entertained. Honestly, just give me an empty water bottle, and I’m good for hours of fun! Because I can be a bit possessive of my food when other dogs are around, supervised and separate feeding works best for me — it helps me feel safe and comfortable during mealtime.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!
