Birthday: January 2nd 2005 Likes: Being right next to one of us Pet-Peeves: Having to be groomed...I don't think he got groomed often in his former life. Favorite Toy: A stuffed weasel that he carries around the house and never tries to hurt Favorite Food: Anything edible, with a particular fondness for apples and mangoes Favorite Walk: Around (and around and around) the house while holding his weasel in his mouth - or around the neighborhood, or at the dog park.... Best Tricks: He loves fetching and loves to leap to catch things. Arrival Story: I got an email asking for someone to rescue a Standard Poodle who'd been dropped off at the local pound, but we already had a Standard Poodle and didn't want a second one at that time. Within a few weeks our dog, Rocceaux, had to be put to sleep, and Gino was still available for adoption.
By the time we wanted to adopt Gino he had been transferred from New Orleans to the Pensacola Standard Poodle Rescue, so we had to drive three hours each way to see if we wanted him. And we did! Bio: We wish we knew his whole story. He is the happiest and sweetest dog we've ever had. Every morning he greets us with a great big smile. I've Been On Dogster Since:
