Hi!  I'm Tito - thank you so much for visiting my page! 

My Foster Mom says I'm a beautiful boy who is super-cuddly and soft.  I am fun and spunky, a great companion and protector.

As can be expected, I have a lot of the typical Poodle traits:  I am alert, intelligent, loyal, trainable, active, and instinctual - I will look you in the eyes and can sense your moods - I know, but it's true!  I learn new tricks very quickly - in fact, I can sit for you or "dance" for a treat, and I do very well on a leash.  As Poodles are known to be quite loyal and typically bond quickly with family members, I have already become one of the family here and I get along great with everyone!  As you may know, Poodles tend to be shy around strangers and we rarely act in an aggressive manner, apart from some sporadic barking.   

Here is some very interesting information about my breed:  Because of Poodle's traditionally noticeable haircuts and distinct grooming routine, some people assume that Poodles are fragile, indoor creatures. However, they are actually active, outgoing, friendly dogs who love to run, romp, and play. Furthermore, Poodles were originally used to help hunt waterfowl so they make excellent watchdogs. This breed is alert and curious and will alarm their owners when a person or animal is approaching.  Poodles make an excellent choice for families of all sizes and ages and are a great breed for first-time dog owners.  They are true family dogs who can play hard with children all afternoon, then curl up in the living room for an evening of relaxation.  The intelligence of Poodles can sometimes result in stubborn dog behaviors.  Depite this, they can still make wonderful pets and therapy dogs. Their empathetic personalities and natural ability to engage with people make them great dogs for visiting with people in schools, nursing homes, and hospitals.

Won't you please consider adopting me?  Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me.
