🐾 Meet Markey – The Sweetest Little Pup! 🐾
Say hello to our newest arrival at Just Paws – Markey, the cutest, sweetest, and friendliest bichon/poodle mix you could ever meet! 💕
Markey is 4.5 months old (born April 29), weighs 13 lbs, and is already winning hearts everywhere he goes. He was recently surrendered after his previous family realized that puppies require more work than expected. Thankfully, this happy boy is thriving in his foster home. He’s been given a clean bill of health by our vet, is fully up to date on vaccinations, and is microchipped. The vet staff adored him, and Markey greeted everyone with wiggles, kisses, and joy!
Markey is very much a puppy – full of energy, curiosity, and playfulness – but he also has a snuggly side. He loves cuddling up next to his foster dad with his favourite yak chew. He gets along wonderfully with the three resident foster dogs, enjoying backyard zoomies, wrestling, and plenty of puppy playtime. Markey is a social butterfly, greeting every person he meets with enthusiasm. He would do well with dog-savvy children, especially those who enjoy playing with an active puppy. Like all pups, he can nip, but with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, he’s easily redirected to his toys. Markey will require grooming a few times per year.
His leash skills are improving, and he especially enjoys walks alongside another dog. Puppy training classes will be a great next step for him – not only to help him grow into a well-mannered adult but also as a wonderful bonding experience for his new family. Markey’s house training is coming along but will need continued consistency.
At night, Markey is a great sleeper, happily curling up close to his humans. He is not crate-trained at this time.
For Markey, we are looking for an active family with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can run and play to his heart’s content. Condo living won’t be suitable, as he does bark. Another playful dog in the home would be a bonus, as long as the resident pup is happy to have a puppy sibling. Markey’s new family will need have him neutered after 6 months after consultation with their vet on the timing.
