About CORKY

CORKY is a 9-year-old, 20-pound Poochon (Poodle/Bichon mix) who was adopted from our rescue six years ago and recently returned due to a change in his family's circumstances. At first, CORKY can be unsure of new people and needs a little time to decide that you are safe. He has a history of snapping or biting when anxious or uncertain (but he doesn't have any teeth), so he needs an experienced adopter who will give him time to adjust, understand his signals, and provide consistent boundaries. Once CORKY trusts you, he quickly turns into a friendly Velcro dog who loves belly scratches, ear rubs, kisses, and being close to his person. CORKY is a bouncy boy with plenty of energy. He enjoys walks, car rides, exploring, and going on adventures with his person. He walks great on a leash and would love a home where he gets plenty of activity and attention. He does not do well where he's left longer hours alone. CORKY lives with other dogs, and generally gets along with them well, but he does not like dogs getting in his face or making sudden, unexpected movements around him. Since he does not enjoy spending much time alone, his foster believes he would be best with another dog who will respect his space. He should not go to a home with children and he chases the cat in his foster home. CORKY does very well with potty training and will use a pee pad when needed. A fenced yard is preferred but isn't required as long as he gets regular walks and exercise. He can be a door-darter though, so care will need to be taken around open doors and gates. He can be a barker when he is excited so apartment living may not be his best fit. CORKY recently had a dental and had his remaining teeth removed due to dental disease. Don't worry, being toothless hasn't slowed him down one bit! In fact, we noticed a big change in his personality once we had those teeth removed. They were really bothering him and he's much healthier and happier now. He has a good appetite and is a BIG fan of snacks. At bedtime, CORKY sleeps in the big bed snuggled right up against his foster mom. CORKY is neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, has had a ProHeart 12 heartworm prevention shot and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. *To meet or adopt one of our dogs, you must first submit an adoption application for review.
