Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi! I’m Jenkins, a 13‑year‑old, 4‑lb Chihuahua with a tiny body and a heart that’s somehow even bigger than that. I follow my favorite human like a devoted shadow and make sure they always know how much I adore them. I’m expressive, affectionate and happiest when I’m tucked under an arm, riding along in a little pouch, purse or curled up in a cozy spot nearby.

Favorite Things: Jenkins is a soft‑souled little dog who cherishes calm companionship. He enjoys warm laps, quiet affection and the simple comfort of being with someone he trusts. He also appreciates peaceful supervised time outdoors where he can sniff around and take in the world at his own relaxed pace. Mealtime is also among his favorite activities. He will happily watch as his yummies are prepared. 

Training and Manners: Jenkins is housetrained when taken out regularly and does well on a predictable routine. He sleeps soundly all night in his dog bed and settles easily once he knows his person is close. He tolerates car rides and is working on improving his leash skills, taking each outing at a steady, manageable pace. His sweet nature and eagerness to please make him a lovely companion for someone who enjoys a calm, steady presence.

Health and Care: Jenkins is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Because he has no teeth he’ll need soft food only for the rest of his life which he happily enjoys. His grooming needs are minimal and can be handled at home with occasional baths, nail trims and ear cleaning. He handled bathing beautifully in his foster home and is easy to care for.

Other Animals: Jenkins enjoys the company of small, laid‑back dogs who match his mellow energy. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but his easygoing demeanor suggests he would adjust well with slow introductions.

Children: Because of his tiny stature a child free home is preferred. He could easily slip out unnoticed through a door left open. Teens + who understand how to interact respectfully with a tiny senior dog would also likely be a comfortable match for him.

Ideal Home: Jenkins forms deep bonds and prefers not to be left alone for long stretches as he’ll share his worries with a little vocal protest. A Chihuahua‑savvy adopter who understands these tiny, expressive seniors would be perfect for him. He’ll thrive in a single‑family home where his people are around often and where he has safe, easy access to outdoor potty breaks. Because he’s so portable and loves being close, he’s the kind of dog who’s happiest tagging along on errands in a soft carrier, pouch or purse.

Overall: Jenkins is an affectionate senior who embodies everything people love about tiny Chihuahuas. He may be small but his devotion is enormous and he brings warmth and sweetness to every day. With a patient, loving adopter who understands his sensitive nature, Jenkins will blossom into a loyal, heart‑melting companion.

If you think Jenkins could be the little shadow and loyal friend you’ve been looking for, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $175.

Hi, I’m Jimmy! I'm an 42-lb Poodle blend and I'm 8 years old. I'm just your average goofy, playful, cuddly, kid-friendly, adventurous guy except that I'm still looking for a family who will love me forever.

Favorite Things:  Jimmy is a very playful and affectionate dog who loves being around people, especially kids. He is extremely toy-motivated and can’t get enough of them—his favorites are fetch and tug-of-war! 

Training & Manners: Jimmy is a gentleman! He is very food-motivated and eager to please, which has made training easy so far. He already knows basic commands like “sit” and “paw” and will happily perform them for treats. He is housetrained and will let you know when he needs to go out. He loves car rides and is a great passenger. He enjoys going on walks and does well overall but would benefit from a bit more leash practice as he continues to learn. He is also a bit messy when it comes to drinking water from his bowl. 

Health & Care: Jimmy is neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped.  He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. He  is a Doodle, so regular grooming is a must for him. His coat needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting, and he’ll need professional grooming about every 6–8 weeks. Luckily, he loves having his hair brushed and being the center of attention! 

Other Animals: Jimmy is good with other large dogs. He hasn't been introduced to cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them if they had a proper introduction. . 

Children: Jimmy loves children of all ages! 

Ideal Home: Due to his playful energy levels, Jimmy needs a single-family home with a securely fenced yard. 

Overall: Jimmy is a happy, loving, and fun companion who will thrive in a home that can continue his training and give him plenty of playtime and attention. Has playful Jimmy jumped into your heart? 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 $400.

***Bonded – Lil Bit & Bow Wow are bonded and must be adopted together.***

Meet Lil Bit and Bow Wow! Hi, we are Lil Bit and Bow Wow. We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted.  We’re both curious, gentle, and a little shy and we’re searching for a family that has LOVE enough for two.

Lil Bit – I’m a three-legged Chihuahua girl who is 13.5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. I take the lead for this dynamic duo, like any self-respecting Chihuahua, but Bow Wow is my best friend in the world and we get along like two peas in a pod. I’m also in charge of surveillance in my home and neighborhood, so you can rest easy.

Bow Wow – I’m a 10-year-old Cairn terrier blend boy who weighs 12.6 lbs. I happily follow my best-friend-furever’s lead but I’m also fond of human cuddles.  My enthusiastic wiggle when I see my people will tell them all they need to know.

Favorite Things: This pair eats, plays, and sleeps together and are very relaxed in each other’s company. Lil Bit likes to sit on her human’s lap when it’s time to chill. Bow Wow also loves to snuggle with his human and be scratched behind his ears.  They can take or leave toys, preferring to enjoy time with their people and their soulmates over playing with the squeaky stuff.

Training & Manners: Lil Bit and Bow Wow are house trained when kept on a regular schedule. They have good basic manners, walk well on their leashes and tolerate a car ride. Both sleep in their own cozy beds at night in their foster home.

Health & Care: This is a healthy pair who are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings.  They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Lil Bit will need regular baths and nail trims while Bow Wow will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to look and feel his best.

Other Animals: Lil Bit and Bow Wow have experience with other small dogs as well as cats and get along with both but need slow introductions.

Children: These two sweethearts would do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 12+), or a home with no kids and quiet senior living would be great too! 

Ideal Home: This pair will need a home without stairs or a pool given Lil Bit’s three-legged physique. And they’ll do best in a single-family home because Lil Bit will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors (she has a strong resume as security director). They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space. This duo would do best in a fenced-yard where they can sniff, explore and wander together safely in nature.

Overall: If you’re looking for a cuddly couple who make wonderful companions for their people as well as each other, Lil Bit and Bow Wow might be the ones for you. If you think they might be, 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 $300.
