My story

Quick Facts • Name: Lotto• Age: Around 9 years old• Gender: Male• Neutered: Yes• Breed: Poodle• Color: Black• Weight: 6.6 kg / 14.5 lbs• Microchip: Yes   My StoryHi, I’m Lotto a calm, clever little gentleman with a heart full of love. I was once part of a difficult situation, living among many animals in a hoarding environment. Thankfully, I was rescued from that place and have since begun a new chapter filled with care, calm, and connection. It’s believed I lived with people before, and it shows in the way I interact with the world I’m gentle, understanding, and thrive in a home environment. At first, I struggled with being alone, showing some signs of separation anxiety and trying to escape my kennel. But with time, training, and kindness, I’ve grown so much more confident and relaxed. These days, I’m calm when left alone and happy to rest peacefully in my cozy space. I’m a curious soul and tend to get excited when I meet new dogs—sometimes a little too excited, especially with bigger friends. So gentle supervision and slow introductions help me make the best impressions. With dogs my size or smaller, I’m quite the social butterfly. What truly makes me special is how in tune I am with people. I don’t just live in the same space I connect. I listen. I feel. I love quietly and deeply.   My PersonalityPeople often say I have the intelligence and grace of a classic poodle, with just the right mix of warmth and independence. I’ll gladly walk up to you for attention even if we’ve just met and I’m completely comfortable being held or picked up. I’ll even roll over to show my belly as a sign of trust. I do have a voice and will let you know when I want something usually food or cuddles! But I’m not a barker without reason. I know how to settle down and enjoy the calm moments too.   My Social Life• With People: I’m friendly and affectionate, even with strangers. I love being close to humans and have no trouble being handled. I’ve also done well with kids under 13!• With Other Dogs: I’m polite and sociable, especially with dogs similar in size. I sometimes get a little too excited around new dogs, so it helps to give me time to adjust.• With Cats: I haven’t had any close interactions with cats yet, so I’m still figuring that out.   On My WalksWalks are one of my favorite parts of the day! I can be a bit eager on the leash at first, especially when there’s something exciting ahead, but I usually settle down quickly and enjoy walking alongside my person. My pace is easygoing, and I love taking in the sights and smells of the world.   Life at HomeI’m adaptable and respectful at home. I’m potty trained and know how to use both indoor pads and outdoor spots. I’m not possessive about food, and I ride calmly in the car. One thing to note: I might mark in new places, especially early on just part of adjusting to a fresh environment. But with routine and reassurance, I settle in smoothly.   My Ideal HomeI’m looking for someone who values companionship, quiet confidence, and a touch of playful charm. Whether you live alone, with a partner, or with a family, I’ll bring warmth and love into your daily life. I’d especially thrive with someone who understands gentle guidance and the joy of bonding with a loyal soul. If you're looking for a mature, wise little friend to share your days, I’d be honored to be considered. I may be small in size, but my love runs deep.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Lotto's YouTube Playlist ##2474336##
