❤️ MEET PO
Po is a confident, outgoing little fellow who loves people and wants to be everyone's best mate!
His mum, Pearl, is a beautiful little Cavoodle weighing just 5.9 kg, with the sweetest temperament. His suspected father is Sam, a 13.3 kg Red Cattle Dog × Jack Russell Terrier, although this cannot be confirmed. Po's distinctive speckled coat certainly suggests some Cattle Dog ancestry.
🐶 A LITTLE DOG WHO LOVES COMPANY
Po is affectionate, sociable and gets along beautifully with the other dogs in his foster home. He's especially fond of his foster family's 18-year-old grandson.
He's very much a people dog who loves being close to his humans and can be a little needy, so a home with plenty of companionship would suit him best.
He hasn't yet met cats.
🌿 PUPPY MISCHIEF!
Po is a typical youngster who enjoys exploring and has discovered the pleasures of digging in the garden!
He's not yet house-trained and will need patient, consistent training, socialisation and guidance as he grows.
🏡 HIS IDEAL HOME
Po would make a wonderful little mate for someone who enjoys having a dog by their side. Another friendly dog would be welcome, but most importantly, he needs plenty of company, affection and indoor privileges.
We expect him to weigh around 10 kg at maturity, although this is only an estimate.
❤️ ADOPTION INFORMATION
Po will be adopted under ARK's Deferred Desexing Puppy Adoption Contract. The cost of desexing is included in his adoption fee, subject to terms and conditions.
❤️ If you're looking for a happy, affectionate little companion, Po could be your boy!
Medical notes
