Navin

Breed: Poodle/Yorkie Mix DOB: approx 2 years old Weight: 13 lbs Likes: treats, squeaky toys, playing with his canine foster brothers, following his human around Energy Level: medium/high; while he does settle down for couch naps and sleeps well through the night in his crate, Navin likes to jump up to greet people, play with toys, and chase his foster brothers around. Housebroken: Navin is crate trained and transitioned to being an indoor dog well. His new owner should expect to continue to provide him guidance with housebreaking. Medical notes: Navin has been seen by our vets and has received a clean bill of health! He has had all of his vaccines, has been neutered and microchipped, and is on a monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Foster Notes: Navin was surrendered when his current owner realized she could not care for him properly. He had lived most of his live outside, without any grooming of his coat. Since coming into foster care, Novi has transitioned to being an indoor dog. He is crate trained for when his foster mom is away and for night time sleeping. Navin does well with his two small foster dog brothers. He is very mouthy when playing (nips) so this needs to be considered when introducing him to other dogs. He picks up on cues well and shows signs of submission to other dogs if they tire of playing. He was exposed to a cat in foster care and tried to chase her. They had limited interaction overall but a home with a cat could be considered so long as the cat is tolerant. Prior to coming into foster care, Navin had not experienced regular grooming. He will need a new owner (and a great groomer!) to continue to work on his ability to be groomed, which could include medicating him for grooming sessions or grooming in multiple sessions. At this stage, Navin needs to be medicated and muzzled for grooming. He has warmed up to letting his foster mom brush him gently and wipe his eyes/face. Navin did not grow up socialized with young children, therefore if children are in the home they should be over 13 years old with prior dog experience.
