NAME: Figaro BREED: Poodle/Shih Tzu mix mix SEX: Male COLOR: white/gray AGE: 4 yr as of Sept 2026 WEIGHT: 14 lbs LOCATED IN: Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Figaro! Figaro is approximately 4 years old, weighs 14 pounds, and appears to be a Poodle mix, possibly with Shih Tzu thrown into the family tree. He’s also a brand-new arrival, and Figaro would like everyone to know that he already has opinions. This funny little guy likes to talk, and he isn’t shy about adding his own commentary to whatever is happening around him. We’re still learning his full vocabulary, but something tells us life with Figaro is not going to be quiet or boring. He’s good with other dogs and has already revealed one very important piece of information about himself: Figaro LOVES treats. If negotiations are ever required, we know exactly where to begin. Figaro came to us needing some grooming, and his makeover is still a work in progress. Underneath all that hair is a handsome little guy slowly emerging, one snip at a time. Because he’s new to Canine Castaways, we’re still getting to know him. There’s plenty left to discover about his personality, habits, and what kind of home will suit him best. But so far? He’s funny. He’s chatty. He likes dogs. He loves snacks. And apparently, he has a lot to say about all of it. Stay tuned. We have a feeling Figaro is just getting started.
