Sesame is an approximately 2-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix with the sweetest soul. He arrived, from the Delano Shelter, with a severely matted coat. He will be completely shaved so he can start fresh and finally be comfortable again. Despite everything, Sesame is incredibly calm, quiet, and endlessly loving. He has a gentle, grateful nature that shines through in every cuddle and soft glance. This special little guy is ready to leave his past behind and begin a new chapter filled with comfort, care, and the love he so clearly deserves.

Moderate to high, and mental more than physical — 45-60 minutes plus digging, sniffing or puzzle outlets.
✂️ Grooming
He arrived, from the Delano Shelter, with a severely matted coat. Varies.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Their small size suits apartments well. Watch for barking at hallway noise and a strong interest in squirrels and rats.
