Cash
Hounds (All Types), ,Hi, I’m Cash and just like Johnny, I keep a close watch on this heart of mine! I’m a handsome one-year-old Hound blend, a shy boy who is still learning to trust people. But when I do (and I don’t rush it), I’m affectionate in my own quiet way. I tend to be anxious when left alone so I’m hoping to find a home where experienced and patient dog lovers are there more often than not. My 35-pound frame is perfect for walks and adventures and I’m in great shape, agile and athletic.
Favorite Things: Cash is a lover of cheese and peanut butter and well, food in general! He also enjoys leash walks and exploring the yard. He can take or leave toys, much preferring to hang out with his people. He’s a bit of an introvert but loves having his trusted people nearby.
Training & Manners: Cash is house-trained when let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, but continued training and practice will help him shine in his new neighborhood and beyond! His new family will also need to continue his training on basic commands and house manners but he’s a smart boy and food motivated. He loves car rides and sleeps soundly in a secure space at night.
Health & Care: Cash is neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. A simple routine of regular baths and nail trims will help this handsome guy continue to look and feel his best.
Other Animals: Cash has experience with calm, laid back dogs. He does not have experience with cats and his foster mom thinks he would likely not do well with them.
Children: This sweet but timid boy needs to be in a home with teens/adults only.
Ideal Home: Cash will do best in a single-family home because he can be quite vocal when left alone and a fenced-in yard where he can explore safely would be great. A home where someone is home more often than not is ideal for this sweet boy but he can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space.
Overall: If you’re looking for a loving companion who could share your love of hiking, walking, and other adventures and are willing to give him time to adjust to life in a safe environment, Cash might be the one for you. If you think he might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.
show lessHarley
Mixed Breed, ,Hi! I’m Harley, I'm almost one and a half years old, 45‑lb mixed‑breed girl with a whole lot of heart and an even bigger wiggle. My name might make you think of a motorcycle and honestly, I do have a little “rev” in my step when I’m excited but I’m also a snuggly sweetheart who loves being close to my people. I’m currently looking for a forever family who’s ready for a joyful companion like me.
Favorite Things: Harley is an enthusiastic, social girl who loves being part of her family’s daily rhythm. She enjoys outdoor time, exploring new scents and relaxing near her people once she’s had her fun. Toys are optional in her world; she’s just as happy soaking up affection or following her humans around.
Training and Manners: Harley is house trained when let out regularly and has a nice foundation of basic manners. She sleeps comfortably in her secure area at night and handles car rides without fuss. She’s still polishing her leash skills but her food‑motivated, clever nature makes her eager to learn. Harley is confident and expressive, especially when she prefers navigating situations on her own rather than being picked up.
Health and Care: Harley is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She’ll need monthly heart worm and flea/tick prevention, like all other dogs. Harley does have a skin issue that is currently being managed with medicated baths twice a week. She benefits from occasional nail trims to keep her comfortable.
Other Animals: Harley has experience with calm, laid‑back dogs but generally prefers to keep to herself around most others. She get along fine wiht the cats in her foster home, too.
Children: Harley has not lived with children, but her friendly, confident nature suggests she may do well with respectful kids who understand how to interact gently with a young dog.
Ideal Home: Harley can be left alone for several hours and relaxes in a secure area when her family is out. She’d be right at home in an apartment, townhome, or condo as long as she gets regular walks and a chance to explore. A family who appreciates her playful spirit and affectionate heart will find her a wonderful addition.
Overall: Harley is a bright, loving young dog who brings warmth and cheerful energy to every day. True to her name, she’s a little “Harley” with plenty of heart, always ready to roll into your life with her happy shimmy. She’s hoping to find a forever home where she can share all that sweetness.
If you think Harley could be the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $400.
show lessJeff
Poodle (Standard), ,Hi, I'm Jeff! Five years old, 68 pounds, and every bit of it devoted to my people. I'm a Standard Poodle with an energetic playful streak, a soft spot for kisses, and a toy habit I'm not even a little sorry about. I am currently looking for a forever family! If you're looking for a dog who's genuinely excited about you, I'm your guy, and I am ready to be someone's whole heart.
Favorite Things: Jeff is a cheese enthusiast who lives for his favorite humans. He's goofy, clever, and totally tuned into the people around him, always ready to make you laugh. He LOVES toys and is never without one, whether he's proudly carrying it around or using it as an invitation for a play session. Jeff's the kind of dog who wants to be in on everything you're doing, and desperately wants to have his person.
Training & Manners: Jeff is house‑trained, crate trained, and is fine in a secured area. He’s been working on his leash skills and polishing basic manners and obedience. He’s a smart, eager learner and his food‑motivation makes training fun. He also rides calmly in the car. His adoption includes free training and access to professional trainers to support his continued progress.
Health & Care: Jeff recently completed his last heartworm treatment, the finish line is in sight! For just a few more weeks he'll need calm routines and short leash walks while he wraps up his recovery, but once he gets the all-clear, this boy is ready to stretch his legs. Long walks are absolutely his thing, and he can't wait to explore the world with his person by his side. Jeff is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations, and going forward he'll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. Regular brushing and professional grooming will keep his gorgeous poodle coat looking and feeling its best.
Other Animals: Jeff bonds deeply with his people, so he'll need to be the only pet in the home. He's working on his leash manners around other dogs and would thrive with an adopter who's patient and consistent, a confident handler who can redirect his focus will set him up for success.
Children: Jeff does not have experience with children at this time.
Ideal Home: Jeff isn't choosy as to the type of forever home he has, but he will need plenty of playtime and exercise once his rest period is up. He will thrive with a family who appreciates a bright, affectionate poodle and can offer a predictable routine. He may bark when left alone for long stretches, so structure will help him feel secure.
Overall: Jeff is a loving, quirky poodle ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $200.

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.
