Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hello! My name is Boo Boo and I am a 10-year-old Shih Tzu gal who weighs 14 lbs.  I’m a playful, clever, confident and curious girl.  I’m also a self-proclaimed “wiggle-butt”.  I’m looking to find my forever “child-free” home where I can be your best friend and companion.  I am a pampered princess who knows what (and who) I like. 

Favorite Things: Boo Boo rates going for walks (with LOTS of sniffing) as one of her favorite things to do.  She will proudly “mark” on walks to let the neighbor dogs know she is present.  On her walks, she barks at some dogs and not at others (her foster hasn’t figured out that pattern yet).  While many dogs enjoy chasing lizards, she could care less about them when she spots one.  She also has a strong love for cooked green beans, carrots and frozen blueberries for treats.  Toys?  She could take or leave them.  She is independent and fine with doing her own thing.  She loves attention, being pampered and is a huge fan of belly rubs.

Training & Manners:  Boo Boo walks well on a leash, tolerates a car ride and is housebroken in her foster home (with a consistent, frequent schedule).   

Health and Care: Boo Boo is spayed,  up to date on vaccines, microchipped and she had a recent dental cleaning. In order to look and feel like the gorgeous gal she is, she will require professional grooming.  She’s a total sweetheart but prefers to keep her “spa days” short and sweet!  She is sensitive about her face and paws being handled, so a patient human who can take grooming slowly would be her dream match.  Trust must be built to touch her face or paws.

Other Animals: Boo Boo is in a foster home without other furry canine friends.  On her walks, she is non-reactive when meeting other dogs. We think with a proper introduction, she could do ok with a pal in her forever home.  A meet and greet with other dogs would be necessary.  We also think Boo Boo would be ok with cats with a proper introduction . . . her foster home does have a cat, but they are kept separate. 

Children: Due to Boo Boo having a dislike and sensitivity to having her face and paws handled, a kid-free home is a must.

Ideal Home: Boo Boo isn’t picky as to the type of forever home and she would do well in a single-family home, condo or apartment.  She can be left home alone for several hours without issues when she is in her secure space.  Her chosen spot is on the sofa, recliner or on the floor (next to her dog bed).  The cats in her foster home have called dibs on the human bed, but if allowed, Boo Boo would probably enjoy sleeping with her humans at night.

Overall: If you are looking for a loving, chill and laid back gal who is sure to bring joy to your life, Boo Boo could be the one for you.  If you think you meet her criteria, we encourage you to  visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Boo Boo’s adoption donation is $300.

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

Meet Bow Wow and Lil Bit! Hi, we are Bow Wow and Lil Bit. 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.

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.

Lil Bit – I’m a three-legged Chihuahua girl who is 13.5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. I take the lead in our 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.

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

Training & Manners: Bow Wow and Lil Bit 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. Bow Wow will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to look and feel his best while Lil Bit will need regular baths and nail trims that can be done at home.

Other Animals: Bow Wow and Lil Bit 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, Bow Wow and Lil Bit 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.

Hi, I’m Cannoli! I'm an 11-lb, 8-year-old Chihuahua - Miniature Pinscher blend. As with my namesake dessert, if you look beneath my sometimes crunchy exterior you'll find a sweet softy who is looking for a quiet, calm, loving home. 

Favorite Things: Confident, curious Cannoli loves toys: the more, the merrier. He can also be a social butterfly who greets everyone with an enthusiastic wiggle, but he still requests his space and to be approached slowly.

Training and Manners: Cannoli is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, sleeps in his dog bed at night, is a good passenger on car rides, and generally has good basic manners, although he can startle around people. 

Health and Care: Cannoli is a healthy boy! He has an odd gait from a previous injury, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He is up-to-date on vaccines and neutered and he has just had his teeth cleaned. He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a short-haired Chihuahua, he shouldn't need much elaborate grooming, either. 

Other Animals: This friendly guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them, too. 

Children: Cannoli requires a gentle, non-forceful approach, for this reason, he needs a home without children and with patient, understanding, dog-savvy adults only. 

Ideal Home: Whether in an apartment, condo, or single-family home, this little guy doesn't need much: just a patient and loving person who will love him just as he is.

Overall: Do you think curious, playful Cannoli would make your life so much sweeter? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org; if it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch. His adoption donation is $275.
