Poodle and Pooch Rescue

***Bonded – Lily and Rita are bonded and must be adopted together.***

Meet Lily and Rita! Hi, we're Lily and Rita. We're just two tiny girls trying to make our way in the big, wide world and find the family who will love us forever.

Rita– I’m an 8-lb Pug-Chihuahua blend and I'm 1 year young.  I'm a cuddly, clever, and kissy girl who loves being near my person, learning new tricks, and hanging out with best friend Lily! 

Lily – I’m a 1-year-old Jack Russell blend who weighs just 6 lb. I am a gentle, shy, snuggly, and smart girl who wants nothing more than to be loved by my humans and to stay close by the side of my best friend, Rita.

Favorite Things: Both girls love to be held by their humans, which is easy since they are so tiny. Lilly even loves to sleep in her dog bed on the human bed! 24/7, they love to snuggle and cuddle right up to their human! 

Training & Manners: Both Lily and Rita are smart cookies who are eager to learn and who are housetrained if let out frequently and have even picked up a few tricks. Rita will even sit for treats now! They both walk well on a leash and are well-behaved little passengers on car rides. 

Health & Care: This healthy pair are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. These low-maintenance gals won't even require much elaborate grooming. 

Other Animals: Lily and Rita both do well with other calm dogs of all shapes and sizes. They haven't been observed around cats yet, but her foster thinks she'd get along with them, too. 

Children: These two sweethearts have not been observed around children yet. 

Ideal Home: Equally at home downtown or down on the farm, these two would do well in an apartment, condo, or single-family home.

Overall: Lily's and Rita's foster thinks they'd be a great blessing for any family with a heart big enough to take them both. If you’re looking for some cuddly cuties who make wonderful companions, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation for the pair is $750.

Hi, I’m Shadow — a 7‑year‑old, 41‑pound Labrador Retriever blend who lives life with curiosity, comfort, and plenty of heart. I’m clever, affectionate, and full of the goofy charm that makes humans smile without even trying. I’m hoping to find a foster or forever family who’ll appreciate my loyal nature.

Favorite Things: Shadow loves exploring her environment, greeting new friends with cheerful enthusiasm, and soaking up affection from anyone willing to offer it. Toys are her absolute joy, and she brightens instantly when she has a few to choose from. She’s a snuggly, social girl who enjoys curling up close to her humans and being part of their daily rhythm.

Training and Manners: Shadow is housetrained when given regular opportunities to go outside and will let her people know when she needs a break. She’s treat‑motivated and picks up new expectations quickly. She’s practicing her leash skills and working on calmer greetings. At night she may bark when left alone but does settle once she understands the routine. She also loves car rides and happily joins on outings.

Health and Care: Shadow is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She will just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. She’s finishing treatment for a skin infection and takes her medications with patient cooperation. Regular baths and nail trims will keep her comfortable and feeling her best.

Other Animals: Shadow has shown some resource guarding with some dogs previously (no resource guarding with people at all).  For this reason, we feel it would be best for Shadow to be the only pet in her forever home.  

Children: Shadow’s experience with children is unknown. Her spirited nature suggests she may do well with respectful, dog‑savvy kids who understand her cues and give her time to adjust.

Ideal Home: Shadow feels most comfortable when her people are close and would thrive in a home where someone is around more often. She enjoys having room to explore, whether that’s a yard or regular outdoor outings. Apartment living could work if her family helps her settle during busy moments and ensures she gets enough exercise. She’s athletic, enthusiastic, and would do best with a patient family who can continue guiding her as she learns good manners.

Overall: Shadow is a loving, goofy, resilient girl who brings brightness wherever she goes which is pretty impressive for someone named after darkness. She’s ready to bond with a foster or forever family and share her clever mind, wiggly charm, and warm devotion.

Does Shadow sound a good fit to foster or adopt? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match you will be contacted with more information. Her adoption donation is $350.

Hi, I’m Violet, a 12-year-old, 10-pound, Miniature Poodle mix who is looking for a quiet, loving home to match my own personality. Though I’m a little reserved and independent, I love to be in the same room as my person, quietly taking in the daily activity of the household.  I also love to meet new people, which I do without any barking or fuss. I’m a loyal and low-key companion who is ready to settle in a safe place.

Favorite Things: Violet is a sweet senior girl with a quiet, gentle demeanor.  She is a bit reserved but wants to be in the same room as her person. She loves to eat and is very motivated by food. She also likes to meet new people but isn't interested in toys. And this shy little lady is not a fan of thunderstorms!

Training & Manners: Violet is housetrained in her foster home where she is let out on a regular schedule. She has lovely house manners and walks well on a leash. She tolerates a car ride and sleeps in her dog bed at night.

Health & Care: Violet is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and recently had her teeth polished. She’ll just need her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any pup. As a poodle mix, Violet will need professional grooming every 8-12 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.

Other Animals: Violet has experience with other small, laid-back dogs and does fine with them. She has not been tested with cats, but her foster mom thinks she would do fine.

Children: This sweet girl will do fine with older, gentle, respectful children. She is shy and uncomfortable with being handled too quickly or unexpectedly.

Ideal Home: Lovely Violet will do fine in an apartment, condo, townhouse or single home.  She’s an independent girl and can be left alone in the home in a secure space without issues.

Overall: If you are looking for a gentle, mellow senior companion with lots of love to give, Violet might be the one for you. If you think she might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, her foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation is $200.
