He has a soft presence and enjoys quiet moments, gentle affection, and being close to his people without being overly demanding. His mellow nature makes him a comforting and easy puppy to be around. At this early stage of life, Curly is still learning about the world around him. He is curious but not overly intense, and he tends to observe before jumping into new situations. He is in a key developmental stage where structure, positive experiences, and patience will shape his confidence as he grows. As a Poodle / Terrier mix, Curly is expected to be intelligent, adaptable, and affectionate. This mix often produces dogs that bond closely with their families while still maintaining a playful and curious side. Curly will benefit from gentle guidance, early training, and consistent positive reinforcement. Curly would thrive in a home prepared for: Ongoing puppy training and supervision Daily calm playtime and enrichment Positive socialization experiences Structure, consistency, and routine A lifelong commitment to his emotional and physical well-being He is still in the earliest stage of life and will need a patient family committed to helping him grow into a confident, well-balanced adult dog. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like most rescue puppies, Curly may not have had early structure, training, or exposure before entering care. Puppies at this age require constant supervision, gentle correction, and consistent guidance. Adopters should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, accidents, teething, learning routines, and adjusting to household life. These are all part of healthy development. Curly will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Daily structure and routine Continued socialization and exposure Patience, consistency, and supervision Gentle guidance during development Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule : 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn routine 3 months to feel fully at home With stability, patience, and love, Curly will grow into a confident and affectionate companion.
