Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I'm Daisy!  I’m a tiny, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle blend girl and I'm 10 years old. My hearing and vision aren't what they used to be, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring. Now I just need to discover a very special, patient family who will love me just the way I am.

Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention. Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite activities. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night).

Training & Manners:  Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently.  Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking, and her hearing sometimes makes it difficult to communicate with her. The good news is that she is highly food-motivated to improve her manners.  She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet.

Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm, along with medications for anxiety. She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.

Other Animals:  Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats. 

Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens only.   

Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home.  Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment).  A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person.

Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love, attention, and patience (and creativity when it comes to communication.) 

Could special Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $175.

***Local adoption only: Dodge needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to his follow-up vetting appointments for remaining vaccines, microchip and neuter with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments will be scheduled through PPR, and the cost is included in his adoption donation.

Hi, I’m Dodge, an almost 3‑month‑old Rat Terrier blend weighing just 2 pounds. I may share my name with a car brand, but I’m powered by puppy energy, not horsepower. I’m a cheerful little guy who loves discovering new things and making the most of every day. I’m still young, so I have plenty to learn, but I’m off to a wonderful start.

Favorite Things: Dodge has a special appreciation for stuffed toys and can happily entertain himself with a collection of favorites. He also enjoys curling up in a soft dog bed when it’s time to recharge. A cozy nap after a busy day is one of his simple pleasures.

Training and Manners: Dodge is still a young puppy, so he has plenty left to learn. He isn't house trained yet and will need consistency as he develops good habits. Leash walking is also new to him, but he's eager to discover the world around him. With patience and positive guidance, he should progress beautifully.

Health and Care: Dodge is a healthy boy and is up to date on his puppy vaccines. He will need a local adopter committed to bringing him to his remaining vaccine appointments, microchip and neuter, which are covered by his adoption fee. He will also need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. Dodge's grooming needs are simple and include baths and regular nail trims.

Other Animals: Dodge has experience with small dogs and enjoys having canine companions around. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but his gentle nature suggests he may adapt well with proper introductions.

Children: Dodge would be happy in a home with children of any age. As with all puppies, supervised interactions help create positive experiences for everyone.

Ideal Home: Dodge would love a home where he has his people nearby to share in his adventures and is always ready to see what excitement the day might bring. Whether he lives in an apartment, townhome, condo, or house, he'll thrive with a family that has time for play, attention, and plenty of puppy fun

Overall: Dodge is a sweet puppy with a bright outlook and plenty of charm. He’s affectionate, adaptable, and ready to grow alongside a family of his own. While some Dodges are built for the road, this Dodge is built for cuddles, companionship, and making people smile. Think Dodge may be the perfect fit? Visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $575.

***Local adoption only: Ford needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to his follow-up vetting appointments for remaining vaccines, microchip and neuter with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments will be scheduled through PPR, and the cost is included in his adoption donation.

Hi, I'm Ford, an almost 3‑month‑old Rat Terrier blend weighing 3.4 pounds. Unlike the Ford you might find in a driveway, I run on puppy energy instead of gasoline. I'm a cheerful little guy who is ready to grow, learn, and keep my future family smiling.

Favorite Things: Ford’s favorite pastime is collecting toys and finding new ways to enjoy them. Whether he's carrying one around proudly or entertaining himself with his latest discovery, he always finds a way to stay busy. When the fun is over, you'll often find him curled up in a cozy dog bed for a well-deserved nap.

Training and Manners: Like any young puppy, Ford is still learning the basics. He isn't house trained yet and will need consistency as he develops good habits. Leash walking is also brand new to him, but he's at the perfect age to start building confidence. With patience and routine, he should progress beautifully.

Health and Care: Ford is up to date on his puppy vaccines. He will need a local adopter committed to bringing him to his remaining vaccine appointments, microchip and neuter, which are covered by his adoption fee. He'll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. Ford is currently finishing treatment for a skin infection that is nearly resolved and may continue a medicated foam for a short time. His grooming needs are simple and include regular baths and nail trims.

Other Animals: Ford has experience with small dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. He hasn't been tested with cats, but his easygoing nature suggests he may adapt well with proper introductions.

Children: Ford would be happy in a home with children of any age. As with all puppies, supervised interactions will help everyone learn and grow together successfully.

Ideal Home: Ford would thrive with adopters who can provide plenty of engagement throughout the day. He enjoys being included in family life and would especially appreciate a home where someone is around more often than not. His petite size makes him adaptable to apartments, townhomes, condos, or single-family homes.

Overall: Ford is a cheerful little puppy with a confident outlook and a heart full of potential. He combines personality, curiosity, and sweetness in one tiny package. Like the vehicle he shares his name with, Ford is reliable at putting smiles on faces and is ready to take his family on a lifetime of memorable adventures. 

If Ford sounds like the perfect passenger for your life's adventures, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply. If it's a good match, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $575.
