Meet Rigel! This gentle Miniature Poodle may start out skittish, but once he chooses his person, he becomes a loyal little shadow who loves to be close. Rigel tends to feel more comfortable around women and can be unsure of men at first, sometimes barking or growling when nervous. With patience, consistency, and calm reassurance, he settles quickly and has even been known to curl up next to his foster dad once he feels safe. Rigel is beginning to show his playful side, enjoying small stuffed toys, chew sessions, cuddles on the couch, and quiet car rides.
