Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I'm Bella! I'm a 10-month-old, 45-lb Husky. With one brown eye and one blue eye, I'm as beautiful as my name suggests, and I'm also athletic, adventurous, and affectionate, and more. You could say I'm a real A+ dog! I'm looking for a family who can love me forever, or just someone who can let me stay for a few days as a foster, until I get adopted. 

Favorite Things: Bella is a kissy, cuddly social butterfly who loves being near her people, but she is also independent and can do her own thing. She loves to entertain herself with toys: the more the merrier! She also enjoys her food and is very food-motivated.

Training & Manners: This clever gal has the makings of a fine lady. She is housetrained if let out frequently and she sleeps in her dog bed through the night. She will need a patient family who is familiar with the breed to keep raising her and training her on matters like leash-walking.  She is a typical husky who is too clever for her own good and, if left unsupervised, she will find things to get into.

Health & Care: Bella is a healthy girl! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. She'll just need his monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog!

Other Animals: Bella does well with other playful dogs. She hasn't been observed around cats yet, but they probably wouldn't be a great fit for this energetic, curious gal.

Children: Cuddly, snuggly Bella gets along with children of all ages.

Ideal Home: Bella can be a real hound-ini, so she will need a single-family home with a securely fenced yard to make sure this escape artist stays safe. 

Overall: Do you think life with Bella would be beautiful? Then visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply to adopt or foster her. If it seems like a good match, a PPR volunteer will be in touch. Her adoption donation is $600.

Hello! My name is Benita. I’m a 2-year-old Terrier blended gal who weighs 33 lbs. I’m happy, playful, affectionate and curious.  I’m looking forward to finding my forever home where I can shower my person with love.  My name is derived from Spanish and Italian origin, and it means "blessed" or "fortunate”.  What a perfect name, as I feel so blessed and fortunate that you are considering ME to be a part of your life!

Favorite Things: Benita’s favorite thing in life is playing with balls!  She doesn’t seem to care much about other toys, but if you give this gal a ball, she is a happy camper.  She also likes attention and loves cuddles from her humans.  She is also an independent lady and is content to go off and do her own thing.

Training & Manners:  Benita is housebroken in her foster home and will need to be kept on a regular, consistent schedule. She walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks.  She loves riding in a car and has good basic manners.  She does sometimes cower when approached from overhead (this could be fear or anxiety from her past).  Her future humans should keep that in mind and avoid this to make her comfortable. She can be protective of her food, so this should be managed appropriately, especially if her new home has other pets.  Benita is not much of a barker. She is not a fan of rainy weather and gets nervous during inclement weather. Benita is very intelligent and additional training should be a breeze.

Health and Care: Benita is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She appears to be a healthy gal and will just need her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog. She is a low-maintenance girl and will just need an occasional bath and nail trims to keep her feeling her prettiest.

Other Animals: Benita has experience with dogs of all sizes and would do well with a canine sibling.  She will tell overly playful dogs to back off when she has had enough.  She could also be the only dog in her new home . . . more attention for her and extra snuggles for you!  She has not been tested with cats, but her foster thinks she would be okay with a feline friend.

Children: Benita has not been around children in her foster home.  We think she would be okay in a home with older children (10+), as long as they approach her slowly and with kindness. 

Ideal Home: Benita isn't choosy and would do okay in a house, apartment, townhouse or condo.  She can stay home alone in her secure area for several hours without issues.  At night, she sleeps well in her secure space. 

Overall: If you are looking to welcome a snuggly, playful and sweet girl to your life, maybe Benita could be the one?  If you think you could be the apple of her eye,  please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Benita’s adoption donation is $400.

Hello! My name is Boo Boo and I am a 10-year-old Shih Tzu gal who weighs 14 lbs.  I’m a playful, clever, confident and curious girl.  I’m also a self-proclaimed “wiggle-butt”.  I’m looking to find my forever “child-free” home where I can be your best friend and companion.  I am a pampered princess who knows what (and who) I like. 

Favorite Things: Boo Boo rates going for walks (with LOTS of sniffing) as one of her favorite things to do.  She will proudly “mark” on walks to let the neighbor dogs know she is present.  On her walks, she barks at some dogs and not at others (her foster hasn’t figured out that pattern yet).  While many dogs enjoy chasing lizards, she could care less about them when she spots one.  She also has a strong love for cooked green beans, carrots and frozen blueberries for treats.  Toys?  She could take or leave them.  She is independent and fine with doing her own thing.  She loves attention, being pampered and is a huge fan of belly rubs.

Training & Manners:  Boo Boo walks well on a leash, tolerates a car ride and is housebroken in her foster home (with a consistent, frequent schedule).   

Health and Care: Boo Boo is spayed,  up to date on vaccines, microchipped and she had a recent dental cleaning. In order to look and feel like the gorgeous gal she is, she will require professional grooming.  She’s a total sweetheart but prefers to keep her “spa days” short and sweet!  She is sensitive about her face and paws being handled, so a patient human who can take grooming slowly would be her dream match.  Trust must be built to touch her face or paws.

Other Animals: Boo Boo is in a foster home without other furry canine friends.  On her walks, she is non-reactive when meeting other dogs. We think with a proper introduction, she could do ok with a pal in her forever home.  A meet and greet with other dogs would be necessary.  We also think Boo Boo would be ok with cats with a proper introduction . . . her foster home does have a cat, but they are kept separate. 

Children: Due to Boo Boo having a dislike and sensitivity to having her face and paws handled, a kid-free home is a must.

Ideal Home: Boo Boo isn’t picky as to the type of forever home and she would do well in a single-family home, condo or apartment.  She can be left home alone for several hours without issues when she is in her secure space.  Her chosen spot is on the sofa, recliner or on the floor (next to her dog bed).  The cats in her foster home have called dibs on the human bed, but if allowed, Boo Boo would probably enjoy sleeping with her humans at night.

Overall: If you are looking for a loving, chill and laid back gal who is sure to bring joy to your life, Boo Boo could be the one for you.  If you think you meet her criteria, we encourage you to  visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Boo Boo’s adoption donation is $300.
