If you're looking for a dog who brings cheddar energy to every room he enters, look no further than Cabot-a 12-pound poodle-terrier mix with brown spots, a love of toys, and a heart as big as his collection of squeaky things.
Cabot is around a year old and fully embracing his puppy era. (The shelter aged him at around 3 years old, but both the rescue and vet suspect he's likely closer to 1 year based on his puppy-like behavior, energy, and teeth.) He's sweet, snuggly, and full of silly charm. He hasn't mastered everything yet (like walking on a leash without turning into a spaghetti noodle), but he's trying his best, and he lives for treats and praise. He's not just food-motivated-he's food inspired.
Cabot's Skills Highlights Include:
?? Spreading toys across your entire living room like a tiny decorator
?? Jumping like a kangaroo with zero spatial awareness
?? Snoozing happily in his crate, especially after a full day of mischief
?? Making instant besties with every dog he meets-he lives for doggy playtime
Cabot is still working on leash training and thinks "sit" is more of a suggestion than a command. But give him time, structure, and a pocket full of snacks, and he'll catch on in no time. He'd love to have a playful dog sibling to show him the ropes-and help burn off his boundless zoomie energy. While he's still figuring out this whole "being a dog" thing, he's nailing the part where he melts into your lap for cuddles.
?? Dislikes: vacuums, loud surprises, and anything that interrupts his squeaky toy time
? Likes: treats, toys, more toys, dogs, people, walks, and being told he's a good boy
Cabot is looking for a patient, playful, and toy-rich home where he can grow into the amazing pup he's clearly meant to be. Bonus points if you enjoy puppy kisses and don't mind the occasional indoor potty mishap-he's working on it, promise!
