Hi, my name is Braxton!  I am a 10 lb, 8 year old male poodle mix.  My owner recently passed away, and I was placed in a overcrowded shelter for a few days.  So, my friends at Beacon of Hope Dog Rescue are helping me to find a new forever home.
I am neutered, microchipped, updated on vaccinations, heartworm negative and fully housebroken.  I love to go outside; and, I ride well in the front seat of a car where I can be right beside my driver.  I love to play with cats and smaller dogs, as long as they are calm and easy-going; but, larger dogs and constant barking scare me.  I do not like crates or being cornered.  Loud noises, too much activity, and strangers who are too eager to pet me make me nervous and snippy.  So, I need a home with no children where my new family can respect my space and give me a little time to get used to them.

If you can sit quietly, talk to me softly, and let me come to you for cuddles when I am ready, I might just be the right dog for you!  Once I can see that you are friendly and gentle, I will quickly become your very best friend.  I will follow you everywhere, snuggle up beside you, and want you to pet and play with me.   I am however, found to be territorial of my human so an adopter that is experienced with possessive poodles will be considered first.
My ideal home would be a retired person with another small dog or a cat.  Better yet, I love the outdoors so much, I would love hanging out at a small farm as I go to one on weekends with my foster and I love it!
