Pearl
Poodle (Standard), ,Hi! I’m Pearl—35 pounds, almost a year and a half old and a poodle with a name that sounds like something rare and shiny. It fits me perfectly because I’m a little gem who adores people, new adventures and showing off my enthusiastic wiggle‑butt. I enjoy belly rubs, toys, and zooming around the yard and I never turn down a chance to step into bath time like it’s my own little spa moment. I can hang out on my own for a bit but I absolutely light up the moment my favorite humans walk back through the door.
Favorite Things: Pearl is a bright, social girl who enjoys staying active. She loves racing around the yard, chasing a ball and diving into play with enthusiasm. Toys are a big part of her day and she happily rotates through her collection. After her bursts of fun, she settles into a cozy dog bed or relaxes nearby while her people move through their day.
Training and Manners: Pearl has a solid foundation and continues to grow in confidence. She’s house trained when taken out regularly and sleeps peacefully in her dog bed at night. She’s still polishing her leash skills but she’s eager to please and responds well to gentle guidance. Car rides are handled with quiet patience and she settles once she feels secure. When left alone, she may bark briefly to share her feelings but she calms quickly and relaxes. With consistency and reassurance, she keeps improving every day.
Health and Care: Pearl is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Like any dog, she will just need monthly flea and heart worm preventatives. She loves baths and will require regular professional grooming to keep her coat looking its best. She will need to remain on a prescription gastrointestinal diet, which averages about $120 a month for a dog her size.
Other Animals: Pearl is wonderfully social with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company. She hasn’t met cats yet but her friendly, confident nature suggests she could adapt with slow introductions and a patient family.
Children: Pearl loves everyone she meets, including children of all ages. Her affectionate, outgoing personality makes her a delightful companion for families who enjoy an interactive, playful dog.
Ideal Home: Pearl would do best in a single‑family home where she has room to stretch her legs and enjoy outdoor time. Because she occasionally barks for a short moment when her people leave, a quieter, non‑shared‑wall environment will help her feel more at ease. She thrives in a home where she can be included in daily activities, enjoy yard time and continue to blossom. A family who appreciates her affectionate nature and adventurous spirit will be a wonderful match.
Overall: Pearl is a cheerful, affectionate girl who has a way of lighting up every room she enters. Her lively spirit, sharp mind, and treasure‑themed name make her unforgettable. She’s more than ready to sparkle in a forever home.
Is Pearl the gem for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $625.
show lessRomeo
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.

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.
