Meet Socket!
At 65 pounds of scruff-tastic charm, Socket is here to light up your life with energy and love! This 2-year-old poodle mix is equal parts athletic goofball and cuddly companion. If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up with your adventures and keep you laughing, Socket’s your guy.
Socket plays hard and loves harder. He’s great with other dogs, but let’s be clear: his play style is rough-and-tumble, full of zoomies and wrestling matches. If you’ve got another dog at home, they’ll need to be as tolerant as they are fun-loving. (Think WWE meets puppy playdates!)
When it comes to people, Socket’s philosophy is simple: Every stranger is just a best friend he hasn’t met yet. He adores humans and thrives on attention, belly rubs, and all-around affection. He’ll happily follow you anywhere—just be prepared for his boundless energy!
Speaking of energy, Socket will need an adopter who’s ready to commit to keeping his mind and body busy. Training? Yes, please! Exercise? Bring it on! Socket’s a smart, eager-to-learn pup who just needs someone to guide him to greatness.
Ready to bring some Socket-powered joy into your life?

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
