Meet Bilo: A Sweet, Social, and Exceptionally Sharp French Poodle
“Bilo is sweet, social, lovable, and exceptionally sharp and alert.”
Bilo is a well-behaved house dog who is deeply attached to his family. He loves his comfort and is accustomed to sleeping on the bed snuggled up in his favorite blanket (which will go with him to his new home!).
While he is a wonderfully well-behaved boy, please note that he occasionally has minor housetraining accidents when adjusting to new routines, so a patient family willing to guide him through his initial decompression period is ideal.
Home & Safety Requirements
- Secure Fencing Required: Yes. Bilo is alert and may bark to notify you if someone is at the gate, but he is fundamentally just looking for a loving home.
- Pool Safety: A swimming pool is present at his current home, but standard safety vigilance applies.
- Working Families: Bilo previously had someone at home during the day. He will thrive best in a home where he gets plenty of attention and companionship.
