This adorable 6-year-old, 11-pound Miniature Poodle mix is a happy little guy doing his best to be a good boy. Despite a rough start in life, including trauma that led to the amputation of his back left leg, Turtle has proven to be one tough cookie with an abundance of love to give.

Turtle may be small in size, but he's big on personality! He's a happy-go-lucky fellow who is adjusting well to his new surroundings. In his foster home, he's mastered the dog door and is doing a great job with his potty training-so proud of him! He's a fan of leisurely walks (though he's still refining his leash skills-he's got a nose that loves to lead the way!) and enjoys the simple pleasures of squeaky toys and games of fetch.

Turtle is a calm, easygoing guy with other small dogs, as long as he's given a gentle introduction. But really, his favorite playmate is his foster mom and toys! While he's a bit sensitive with grooming, he'll need regular care to keep his poodle coat in tip-top shape.

This sweet boy would thrive in an adult household with experienced dog lovers. Whether he's the only dog in your life or has a chill canine companion, Turtle is sure to bring joy and a whole lot of love into your home. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
