Corky is a truly resilient and affectionate senior gentleman who has blossomed since arriving at the shelter. Initially needing significant care for his severely dry eyes and matted coat, his personality has since flourished. He adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, showing a newfound joy in discovering toys and engaging in playful moments. His sweet and gentle nature makes him a delightful companion.
As a Poodle, Corky possesses the breed's characteristic intelligence and affectionate disposition. Poodles are known for being highly trainable and eager to please, making them wonderful companions for those seeking an interactive pet. While he is a senior with a lower energy level, he still benefits from mental stimulation and gentle engagement. His minimal shedding coat is a plus for allergy sufferers, though it does require regular professional grooming to maintain its health and prevent matting.
Corky is now ready for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. He would thrive with an owner who can continue his eye medication routine and appreciate his gentle, loving nature. A home with other dog-friendly companions or someone who enjoys quiet companionship would be ideal. He's housetrained and, despite his age, still has plenty of love and joy to share with his forever family.
