About Tiny’s Breed:
The Poodle is a smart, social, and people-oriented dog who is great as a family pet. They are low-shedding but do require regular grooming to avoid matting. Like Tiny – Poodles bond deeply with their families and are always eager to please and very affectionate. They love being near their humans and make great “lap warmers” or little “shadows”!
Tiny may be in his golden years, but he’s still got a spunky sparkle and a deep appreciation for the simple joys in life: soft blankets, warm laps, and the comforting presence of his person. He’s almost fully house-trained, sleeps peacefully in his crate at night, and spends his days lounging with his doggie friends or shadowing his foster mom like the devoted little gentleman he is.
Tiny’s Gentle Highlights:
• Crate trained and enjoys his cozy nighttime routine
• Quiet and chill, perfect for a peaceful home
• Gets along with everyone—including cats and small dogs
• Best with older, respectful kids due to his delicate frame
• Doesn’t go on walks, but loves backyard sniffing adventures
• Loves to cuddle, be held, and nap beside you while you work
• Doesn’t need other pets, but enjoys their company
• On heart medication for life, but stable and thriving
Tiny is the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a kind hand to pet him, and someone who sees the beauty in a quiet companion. He’s low-maintenance, high-love, and still has plenty of tail wags and tender moments to share.
If you’re looking for a sweet senior sidekick who will be your loyal little shadow, Tiny is ready to fill your days with warmth and your heart with peace.
