Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hello! My name is Albert. I’m a 5‑year‑old Yorkie boy, about 10 lbs., and I’m searching for a patient, dog‑savvy adopter who understands that some pups need a little extra time and guidance. I had a rough start in life, so while I’m curious, fun, and adventurous, I can also be unsure of new people. Because of this, I’m looking for an adult‑only home with no other dogs or cats.

 Favorite Things: Albert loves his walks—he’s practicing not barking at people and other dogs, but he’s making progress. Toys are his treasures, and he can be a bit possessive of them, though he’s learning to play fetch. He’s an energetic little guy who adores doing zoomies and cooling off afterward with his absolute favorite treat: ice chips.

Training & Manners:  Albert is housebroken in his foster home and reliably does his business outside or on walks after meals. He’s food‑motivated, not picky, and is learning basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, and wait. He’s also an independent player who enjoys keeping himself entertained. He walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and is working on polishing his manners. Like many young pups, he still has some “puppy nipping,” and redirection works best for him.  PPR will also include up to two training sessions IN YOUR OWN HOME with a trainer.  

Health and Care: Albert is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a recent dental cleaning.   Like any dog, he will need his monthly flea and heartworm prevention.  As a yorkie, he may need periodic grooming for his coat and nail trims.  He also uses an ear wash weekly which costs about $10 a month.   

Other Animals:  Albert prefers to have his person all to himself, so a home without other dogs or cats is a must.

Children: Because he can be unpredictable with kids and doesn’t always appreciate being corrected, Albert needs an adult‑only home.

Ideal Home: Albert would thrive in a single‑family home. A fenced yard would be wonderful so he can safely run, explore, and get his zoomies out. He can stay home alone for several hours without issues, and when you return, he’s ready to play. At night, he sleeps well in his own space and waits patiently for morning.

Overall: If you’re looking for a small, spirited boy who is protective, independent, and playful, Albert might be your match. With consistent training and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion.

Do you think Albert could be the one for you?  If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $375, and this donation amount includes TWO training sessions in your home with one of our partner trainers. 

Hi, I’m Benny! I'm an 8-lb, 8-month-old Poodle. I'm looking for squirrels (to chase), scritches, and a sweet family who will love me forever. Could that be you?

Favorite Things:  The outdoors is fascinating to this little guy. He loves to chase squirrels and birds in the backyard. Noises outside (and inside) startle him, though, especially cars and garbage trucks. Above all, Benny LOVES toys. He likes to drop a toy at your feet then take it away before you can get it. He also loves it if you throw him a toy: he'll slide across the floor to retrieve it, then runs full speed back to you. Tug of war is also a favorite game for Benny. After a long day of exploring or playing, he likes to nap with his paws or body touching his person. Benny prefers scratches to petting and will ask for them by jumping in your lap. 

Training & Manners: Benny has the makings of a good boy! He is making good progress with housetraining, he is pee-pad trained, but learning that going potty outside earns him treats! He loves car rides, and he sleeps perfectly and peacefully in his kennel overnight. He's just working on a few basic manners, like walking on a leash. (At the moment, he'll walk 5 feet then sit down and look around.) He's also still in his puppy chewing phase. 

Health & Care: Benny is a healthy boy! He'll just need his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a Poodle, he'll also need regular brushing plus professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to ensure he looks his best. 

Other Animals: Benny is being introduced to other neighborhood dogs who are his size. Benny hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster doesn't think they'd be a good match. 

Children: Benny gets along well with calm, respectful children. 

Ideal Home: Benny is equally at home in an apartment, condo, or single-family home: anywhere there is someone around who will love him forever!

Overall: Benny may be tiny, but he has a giant heart. All he needs is a family who will love him forever and whom he can love in return. Is that you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $600.

Hi, I’m Billy! I'm a 26-lb Rat Terrier and I'm 6 years old. I'm just an easy going, quiet guy who is just looking for someone with snacks who will love me forever. 

Favorite Things: Billy is a bit of a foodie! He's playful, too, although this gentle soul is quite happy doing his own thing and doesn't need constant human attention.

Training & Manners: Billy is a good boy! He is housetrained if let out regularly, he is a well behaved passenger on car rides, he walks well on a leash, and he generally has good basic manners.

Health & Care: This little gastronome is currently on a weight loss journey and has been making great strides. He’ll need a family committed to continuing the journey with him which includes daily walks and closely monitoring his food intake. He is on daily medication to control his allergies and support his thyroid function. This costs about $85 per month.  Other than that, he is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. He also won't need much elaborate grooming, as a short-haired guy. 

Other Animals: This gregarious guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He's even fine with cats!

Children: Sweet Billy is good with children of all ages. 

Ideal Home: Laidback and chill, Billy isn't picky and would be happy to live an apartment, condo, or single-family home: wherever there are people who love him. 

Overall: Could Billy be your bestie? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.
