Hello everyone! My name is Nella and I am a 7 year old cream toy poodle. I love everyone and everything! I don't bark, bite, yap, or snap like a stereotypical poodle(at least what most humans think about us poodles).
I do all sorts of tricks and can understand full sentences, one of my favorites is picking out my own treat from about 8 bags...I just sniff them all and then tap the one I want with my paw. If my human drops anything I'll pick it up and hand it back to her. I get to go on all sorts of trips with my humans and I'm working on getting my therapy dog certification so I can meet even MORE humans!!
My life wasn't always this nice...I am with my 3rd and final human now..I'm not going anywhere else! In my first home I was kicked, hit, yelled at and tied up outside with no food or water! My second home was better, but I was with a ton of bigger dogs and got no attention...finally my current human found me and asked if she could have me.
I was timid, barked a bit, and didn't really care for people. Feet scared me and I was afraid I'd have to start biting to protect myself. My human taught me that it's ok to be touched and took me to work with her every day to her petstore where I got to learn about birds, other animals and lots of manners! I get my hair done about once a week and on occasion I get to change colors too!
