Barry, a 5 year old miniature poodle is such a delicate timid little guy, seeing him so cute and fluffy in his kennel, how could I resist. He is a one step forward two steps back dog so he had to be picked up to be harnessed. This was fine with him since he is a "pick me up" kind of guy. Once harnessed he bounced down the hall and we were out.
Outside Barry's shyness quickly disappeared, he spotted kids. His former home included kids and he clearly wanted to play, barking out his invitation. We continued our walk with Barry doing all the normal doggy sniffing and exploring. Barry is great on the leash, but does not seem to know other basic obedience commands. In my shelter experience this is not unusual for the small breeds. Since Barry's former home also included a cat, he should fit in to lot's of potential families. Let's hope he finds his new one soon.
