Poodle - Zeus - Small - Adult - Male - Dog in Rochester, New York

Poodle - Zeus - Small - Adult - Male - Dog
This 15-pound poodle mix is a real love bug! Zeus loves belly rubs, playing fetch, chewing his Nylabone, and trying to get treats out of Kongs and other puzzle toys. He is a smart, active dog but does well in his crate during the workday. Zeus will sometimes chew on inappropriate objects and can leap up onto counters and tables, so for now it is best if he is crated when alone in the house. He does bark at noises and things he sees out the window (especially squirrels and cats) but pretty much quiets down at night. Zeus would probably do well with more experienced dog owners as he will try to be the top dog if you let him. He is still learning how to sit and greet people politely without jumping on them. He has lived with kids in the past but would do best with older kids. He knows sit, stay, leave it, and go potty, and is housebroken if let outside on a schedule. Zeus does not shed, which is a nice attribute. He has lived with other dogs in the past, but is reactive towards them when on a leash so his owner would need to work on this. He has shown some resource guarding with rawhides but not with food or toys. Zeus should not be in a home with cats or small pets. He is quite athletic and would probably do well in agility sports if trained. Zeus is wonderful raw material for someone who is willing to put in the extra time and effort! Zeus has an Adoption Donation of $275
