My Story
Tuxedo arrived in rescue with his sister Gem and brothers Ruff and Leap, and its hard not to assume he knows hes handsome. At just 12 weeks old and 6 pounds, this fluffy Maltipoo puppy carries himself with the confidence of a distinguished gentleman who somehow got shrunk in the wash.
His name may be Tuxedo, but formal occasions are not required. Hes perfectly happy attending backyard adventures, living room zoomie festivals, and spontaneous cuddle sessions. In fact, Tuxedo firmly believes every occasion is worthy of celebration, especially if treats are involved.
Sweet, social, and endlessly curious, Tuxedo approaches the world as though it was created specifically for his entertainment. New people are potential friends. New toys are potential favorites. New experiences are opportunities to gather important puppy data, whether anyone asked him to conduct research or not.
Of course, Tuxedo is still a puppy, which means he occasionally makes choices that seem completely reasonable from his perspective. Why walk around an obstacle when you can climb over it? Why leave one toy in the basket when you can remove all of them? Why nap quietly when there is mischief to investigate? These are the questions driving his academic career.
Like any Maltipoo, Tuxedo comes with a lifetime subscription to grooming appointments. His future family should be ready to help maintain that soft, fluffy coat and keep him looking like the polished little gentleman he was clearly born to be.
Beneath all the puppy antics is a loving little companion who genuinely enjoys being around people. Hes affectionate, happy, and eager to be part of whatever adventure comes next. With guidance, patience, and plenty of love, Tuxedo is going to grow into an incredible best friend.
Tuxedo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and negative for heartworm and tick disease on his 4DX test. Healthy, happy, and dressed for success, he is ready to make his grand entrance into a forever home.
If you're looking for a puppy who combines charm, fluff, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting, Tuxedo is prepared to RSVP "yes" to being your new best friend.
