What kind of home would be best for me? Because of his sensitive nature, Lemon would thrive best in a calm, adults-only home. He needs humans who understand that he should never be scooped up or petted without his consent. Sudden movements, loud noises, or fast-paced environments can be stressful for him, so a steady, predictable home is essential for Lemon to feel confident and secure. Lemon finds comfort in the company of other dogs, especially calm, confident companions. Their presence helps him navigate the world and feel braver than he might on his own. For this reason, Lemon needs another well-adjusted dog in the home.

https://bestfriends.org/pet-care-resources/what-expect-when-rescuing-puppy-mill-dog<br><br>What is my personality like? Meet Lemon, a Toy Poodle with a gentle heart and a shy, sensitive soul. Lemon loves to run, explore, and enjoy the sunshine - but he only does so when he feels safe and confident in his surroundings. Once he does, he shows just how sweet and affectionate he can be, quietly soaking up attention from the people he trusts.
Lemon is still learning what it means to be a pet and will need time to adjust to a new home, routines, and rules. With patience and gentle guidance, he will gradually come to understand and embrace the joys of family life.
Lemon may take his time, but the bond he forms is deep and lasting. With a quiet, patient household and a companion he trusts, he will blossom into a loving, playful, and devoted Toy Poodle who cherishes every moment by your side.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Lemon isn't the type to jump into new situations right away. Instead, he takes his time to observe, adjust, and decide when he's ready to engage.
Other tips and tidbits: Lemon's birthday is 10/22/24
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
