Pêche

Pêche / F / 2Y / 21lbs / Poodle mix / Fostered in Owen Sound

Sweet, cuddly, and calm, Pêche is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home. Her favourite things in life are simple: a good nap, belly rubs, playing with balls, and most of all, being with her people. She's shy when meeting new people at first and likes to warm up on her own terms — a few treats definitely help break the ice! But once she trusts you, that sweet, loving side comes right out.

Her leash manners are excellent — she happily trots along beside you, just thrilled to be going wherever you're going. And she LOVES car rides. Genuinely, it's hard to leave the house without her trying to tag along!
Pêche already knows sit, down, and shake a paw (both paws, on request!). She's currently working on holding her sit/down a little longer before popping back up for her treat — she's an eager student, just a little impatient for that reward.

Fully potty trained with 4-5 breaks a day. She's said to be crate trained by her previous owner, though in her foster home she's been free roam and does great — she's always waiting right at the door when you get home.

Pêche has mild separation anxiety — she'll whine when you leave and gets very excited (happy front-paw jumps!) when you return, but settles down with a little guidance and a minute to calm herself. She's not a fan of being left alone for long stretches, so a home where someone is around often, or who can bring her along on daily adventures, would suit her best. Loud noises can startle her, though she's not generally fearful. She doesn't guard anything and is great with dogs and kids (cats are still a mystery — no feline experience yet!).

Her ideal home: A family with kids, someone home often or willing to include her in everyday outings, and ideally a small dog sibling to play with. She's not asking for much — just love, belly rubs, and someone to be with.
