Hi I'm Birthday Cake! A spunky, delightful, and ADORABLE granny in a pint sized package! I'm around 12 years old and I weigh 6-7 lbs. I LOVE everyone and everything! A home with a dog pal or two would be so fun! Yep I still like to play! I love my daily walks and I talk when I get excited. I am REALLY CUTE! I had a major dental-no teeth left-and I am feeling so much better! Cannot wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.
🧠 Temperament
Genuinely one of the smartest breeds — quick to learn, and quick to invent bad habits if bored. Poodles are sensitive, bond hard to their people and tend to be more reserved with strangers than retrievers.
🎾 Exercise
I love my daily walks and I talk when I get excited. 45-60 minutes daily plus puzzle work.
✂️ Grooming
High maintenance. The curly single coat doesn't shed much but mats easily; expect brushing several times a week and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Excellent city dogs — low shedding, adaptable and highly trainable. Budget for grooming.
