At 10 years old, Mr. Grinch, a Maltese x Poodle mix, is here to prove that sometimes the perfect companion isn’t a puppy, but a seasoned friend ready for all of life’s adventures. Weighing just 10 pounds, he’s the ideal size for everything from sleigh rides to cozy lap snuggles. His non-shedding coat makes him a potential match for allergy-sensitive homes.
Once a shelter dog who seemed to have a grinchy streak, this little guy has nothing but love to give — and plenty of it! 🎄❤️

- ❤️ Is a true velcro dog — happiest when he’s glued to your side or curled up on your lap.
- 😴 Knows how to go with the flow — content to relax while you work, but always ready for cuddles.
