Romeo
Labradoodle, ,Hi, I’m Romeo! I'm a 1-year-old Labradoodle and I weigh 84 lbs. "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" you ask? Because I'm a lover boy who is very affectionate and just wants to play all day!
Favorite Things: At first, Romeo can be quite cautious, but once he gets to know you , he is very loving and playful. He willl happily wait by your side while watching tv, but he also can't wait for his walks. This goofy guy also loves toys: the more, the merrier!
Training & Manners: A true gentleman, Romeo is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks very well on the leash and will go at your pace. He is a well-behaved passenger on car rides and sleeps in his dog bed at night. He could probably work on some other basic manners-- he is a big goofball who is not always aware of his size and strength/personal space-- but he is generally well-behaved.
Health & Care: Romeo is very allergic to chicken. As long as he stays away from poultry, though, he's a health boy. He will just need wipes to keep his eyes clean plus the usual flea and heartworm preventatives. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As a Doodle, his future owners will also need to factor in regular brushing plus professional grooming about every 6-8 weeks.
Other Animals: Romeo gets along with other dogs of all sizes (as long as they let him be the boss). He has been known to be a bit of a kibble bandit if other dogs don't eat all their food. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster isn't sure that it would be a good fit.
Children: This shy sweetheart would do best in a home with kind, understanding teens.
Ideal Home: A single-family home would be best for Romeo, since he can be very vocal to let you know when someone is at the door.
Overall: Romeo's fosters describe him as an "all around awesome dog." Do you think and you and Romeo are star-crossed and destined to be a family forever? 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 $550.

Chihuahua, ,***Bonded –Sheila and Shiloh are bonded and must be adopted together.***
Hi, we’re Sheila and Shiloh — a tiny duo with twice the love to give. We’re a 4 year old bonded brother and sister Chihuahua pair looking for a forever home where we can stay side by side. Our favorite things? Being near our people, curling up in soft snuggly spots, and moving through the day together. Affectionate, playful, and perfectly in sync, we’re ready to bring double the sweetness to one lucky home.
Sheila: I’m Sheila! Don’t let my 5.6 pounds fool you—I’m full of charm in a very small package. I’m a cheerful greeter, a devoted little shadow, and a cuddlebug who loves being picked up and adored. I enjoy following my people, staying close to Shiloh, and nestling into comfy corners when it’s time to relax. I may be small, but I bring plenty of sparkle and a social butterfly spirit wherever I go.
Shiloh: I’m Shiloh! I’m an 8.2 lb Chihuahua with a calm, loving nature and a quietly confident personality once I settle in. I appreciate life’s simple pleasures—a cozy lap, short strolls, and time outside to sniff and explore. I’m a little shyer and happiest spending time with Sheila and keeping our people company.
Favorite Things:
Sheila: Sheila loves toys, cozy beds with covers she can burrow into, and treat-based activities like snuffle mats or scatter feeding. She enjoys being outside in a safe yard and is happiest when she can stay near her people and Shiloh.
Shiloh: Shiloh is less toy-focused but loves food enrichment, slow feeders, snuffle mats, and scatter feeding in the yard. He enjoys short walks, laps, lounging nearby, and spending relaxed time with Sheila and his humans.
Training and Manners:
Sheila and Shiloh are puppy pad trained and do well with regular outdoor breaks. They have solid household manners—Shiloh responds to his name and appears to know “stay,” while Sheila is building confidence with new cues. They both are great car riders too. At night, they settle together in a secure space and rest peacefully. They may briefly bark when their person leaves but settle quickly. Both are food-motivated, making continued training easy and rewarding.
Health & Care:
They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives will keep them on track. Both are healthy with simple grooming routines, including baths and regular nail care.
Other Animals:
Sheila and Shiloh do well with dogs of various sizes, especially those with similar, easygoing energy. They’ve also lived with a cat and remained calm and non-reactive, without barking or chasing. Thoughtful introductions help them adjust smoothly to new companions.
Children:
Their experience with children is unknown. Due to their small size, they would do best in a home with respectful kids (8+) who understand gentle handling.
Ideal Home:
They’re looking for a forever home where they can continue providing comfort and confidence to one another. A space without stairs would be ideal, though safety measures like gates or carrying them can help if needed. Access to a secure outdoor area is a plus. Most of all, they want a home filled with love, routine, and cozy places to settle in.
Overall:
Sheila and Shiloh are a loving pair with sweet personalities and wonderful manners. Sheila brings joyful wiggles, kisses, and playful charm, while Shiloh offers steady companionship and quiet loyalty. Together, they’re two tiny Chihuahuas with big hearts, ready to fill a home with warmth, comfort, and double the love.
Does this dynamic duo sound like the perfect fit? Submit an application at poodleandpoochrescue.org, and their foster family will be in touch if it’s a match. The adoption donation for both is $600.

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.
It’s really easy to foster all you have to do is:
- Check to see if you meet the requirements
- Fill out the dog Foster Application
- Select A Pet
- Fill out the questionnaire
- We’ll call you to help find the right match for your family.
