Update - Aug. 19

Athos here and sadly I'm back. I loved the family and they loved me -- the little dog, not so much. I tend to protect my "stuff" and that just doesn't work with another dog in the home. I am a wonderful dog but will do better as your one and only. I absolutely love going for long walks and if you are looking for a walking buddy, who is willing to take a minute to stop and sniff the flowers ... that would be me. I am ready for take 2. So let's make it happen.

‍

Hello, I'm Athos, a 7.5-year-old Standard Parti Poodle on the verge of a life-changing experience. I've recently retired from my breeding career and am eagerly awaiting to meet my very first family.

I'm a gentle and loving boy who adores everyone I meet. While I may have missed out on some typical family dog experiences, my sharp Poodle mind means I can catch up quickly. I dream of daily walks, leisurely neighborhood strolls, car rides, and playtime in the yard. Some of these activities might be new to me, but I'm excited about the changes they will bring to my life.

One thing to know about me is that my distinctive curly coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangles, which can lead to skin irritations and infections. My future family must be prepared for this responsibility and the associated costs, as it’s an essential part of keeping me healthy and happy.

I'm ready to take the next step into a loving family who will treasure me for the rest of my days. If you think we could be a perfect match, please fill out an application form and ask for Athos. I can't wait to meet you!
