Dickens is a neutered male Tibetan Terrier/Poodle mix. He is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and is very healthy. He is a mid-sized dog, weighing about 25 pounds. Dickens is a real character. He is extremely loving and wants to be around people at all times. Wherever you are, Dickens will make sure to curl up right at your feet. He would sleep on a bed of stones if it meant that he could just be near you. He loves to play with toys and runs all around with them in his mouth looking very goofy and endearing. His favorite pose is to lay down on his stomach with his back feet stretched out behind him. Dickens needs an owner willing to give him lots of attention and direction. He would make a nice family dog as he is good with children and is very gentle when taking treats or being handled. Dickens is very smart and will benefit greatly from a basic obedience class or two. Because of his intelligence, he tends to take matters into his own hands unless given clear directions. He wants to please, responds very well to commands, and is making great progress at a very rapid rate. He has obviously had no direction at all in his young life and was extremely neglected when we rescued him. He has been professionally groomed and had to have most of his glorious coat clipped off due to severe matting. With proper care and grooming, Dickens should have a mid-length, low to non-shedding soft white coat. Dickens would prefer to be the only dog in the home.
