SPCA Pet Of The Week- Mauricio

A sensitive youngster who yearns for kindness and understanding, Mauricio's fear of new people is heartbreaking.

We strongly suspect his previous owner screamed and raged at him, melodramatically cursing instead of giving a puppy the patience and good guidance needed in a gentle manner.

Mauricio still believes in people though, and he is eager to share his heart with someone with a tender touch.

He is a Miniature Poodle with stunning good looks, neutered, about 2 years of age. We rescued him from a government-funded shelter that ran out of space to keep him.

Mauricio enjoys other dogs and needs regular professional grooming care. More Information available at NevadaSPCA.org
