My Story
Hello! My name is Albert. I'm a 5yearold Yorkie boy, about 10 lbs., and I'm searching for a patient, dogsavvy adopter who understands that some pups need a little extra time and guidance. I had a rough start in life, so while I'm curious, fun, and adventurous, I can also be unsure of new people. Because of this, I'm looking for an adultonly home with no other dogs or cats.
Favorite Things: Albert loves his walks—he's practicing not barking at people and other dogs, but he's making progress. Toys are his treasures, and he can be a bit possessive of them, though he's learning to play fetch. He's an energetic little guy who adores doing zoomies and cooling off afterward with his absolute favorite treat: ice chips.
Training & Manners: Albert is housebroken in his foster home and reliably does his business outside or on walks after meals. He's foodmotivated, not picky, and is learning basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, and wait. He's also an independent player who enjoys keeping himself entertained. He walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and is working on polishing his manners. Like many young pups, he still has some “puppy nipping,” and redirection works best for him. PPR will also include up to two training sessions IN YOUR OWN HOME with a trainer.
Health and Care: Albert is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a recent dental cleaning. Like any dog, he will need his monthly flea and heartworm prevention. As a yorkie, he may need periodic grooming for his coat and nail trims. He also uses an ear wash weekly which costs about $10 a month.
Other Animals: Albert prefers to have his person all to himself, so a home without other dogs or cats is a must.
Children: Because he can be unpredictable with kids and doesn't always appreciate being corrected, Albert needs an adultonly home.
Ideal Home: Albert would thrive in a singlefamily home. A fenced yard would be wonderful so he can safely run, explore, and get his zoomies out. He can stay home alone for several hours without issues, and when you return, he's ready to play. At night, he sleeps well in his own space and waits patiently for morning.
Overall: If you're looking for a small, spirited boy who is protective, independent, and playful, Albert might be your match. With consistent training and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion.
Do you think Albert could be the one for you? If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $375, and this donation amount includes TWO training sessions in your home with one of our partner trainers.
