Koda
Pomeranian, ,Meet Koda! This 13-year-old Pomeranian weighs 10 lbs. Koda is a loyal and friendly guy who would make a wonderful furry four-legged companion!
- General Behavior: Koda is a curious boy who can often be found right by his human's side. He likes his people and is content being around them. He is laid-back and quick to steal your heart.
- Likes & Dislikes: Koda enjoys nesting in soft blankets and snuggling by your feet. He prefers to nap in whichever room his human is in and will happily sleep in his own dog bed. He is quite the curious fella and likes to sniff around outdoors too!
- Training: This sleepy senior has wonderful manners and walks well on a leash. He is overall a very polite boy.
- Medical: Koda has Lenticular Sclerosis and Cataracts, which cause a haze in both of his eyes. This is not uncommon with senior pups like himself. He gets around just fine and does not require any treatment or medications. Most of his teeth were removed due to decay, and he is on a soft diet which he does wonderfully on. Koda does require his monthly heartworm and flea preventative, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Koda interacts well with other dogs and cats. He wouldn't mind sharing a home with others.
- Children: This sweet senior needs a quiet and calm home without young children. Older children (10+) would be okay.
- Home: Koda’s ideal home would be one that is easy-going and laid-back, just like himself. He would enjoy a human that can provide him with lots of snuggles and pets in his golden years.
- Grooming: As a Pomeranian, Koda will require daily brushing along with regular baths to keep his coat healthy and clean.
- Overall: Koda is a sweet and dashing senior boy who is looking for a family that can provide him with daily pets and snuggles, along with cozy blankets for nesting. Is that you?

Foster a Dog
Care for a dog until they’re ready for adoption
Permanent Residents
Some of our dogs will stay in our care forever. Some have been through so much change and trauma in their lives that putting them through more change isn’t in their best interest, others may have medical needs or need hospice care – these dogs will remain in PPR foster care for the rest of their lives as Permanent Residents.
Apply To foster
When you become a foster parent, you are playing a significant role in our rescue program. When you invite a dog into your home, you provide the love, patience, and guidance to a little dog in need, and Poodle and Pooch Rescue provides the rest! We are responsible for all vetting, grooming, and medical needs the dog may have, all you have to do is treat the dog as if it’s your own. A typical fostering lasts 2 to 3 weeks, and you are never stuck with a dog. You choose the dogs you want to foster, and you are free to foster at your own convenience. If for whatever reason the dog you choose doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, we will simply place the dog into a new foster family. You get to enjoy the companionship of a dog without the lifelong commitment.

- Check to see if you meet the requirements
