About Howard

Adoption Fee: $100
Poodle
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

Howard was surrendered to rescue by his caretaker after his owner passed away. Howard was a show dog/stud in his younger years but is now fraile & thin in his senior years. He is eating well but remains thin. Howard is a miniature poodle and only weighs 10 pounds. I estimate a healthy weigh for him should be around 15 pounds. His microchip was sold to his breeder in 2002, although that does not mean that's when the chip was implanted. Howard was listed as 12 yrs old when he received his rabies vaccine in October of 2017, so he is now estimated to be 14-15 years old. Although Howard is not neutered, I don't think that's safe at his age to go under anesthesia. He has been seen by our vet and his bloodwork looks good. Howard will need to be fed multiple small meals a day to help him gain weight. If you could send him a case of canned food, it would be greatly appreciated. We have several varieties on our Amazon wishlist although I do believe the Nature's Recipe Easy To Digest would be easiest on his stomach. Our Amazon wishlist is: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1XQG0IWY15PME?ref_=wl_share Howard is such a sweet boy and loves attention. He immediately snuggled up in a soft bed and eagerly played with a squeaky toy. We don't know much about his life before now but I guarantee he will be pampered for whatever time he has left. Howard is looking for a quiet retirement home to live out his golden years. If you think you can give Howard the love he needs, please send us a message. We are located in Baltimore and travel up to 2 hours for adoptions. Due to his age, he prefers a home without young children. Howard has done well with the other dogs and cats in rescue. He doesn't know how to go up or down stairs. There's no physical reason, I just think he's not use to stairs. He is light enough to be carried until he learns (if there's stairs in your home)
