Cami
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, ,Hi! I’m Cami, a 7‑month‑old, 10 lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who may not see the world, but I certainly enjoy it. I explore with confidence, follow sounds with ease and greet every moment with a happy heart. I’m excited to find a family who loves my spirited, one‑of‑a‑kind outlook.
Favorite Things: Cami adores her toys and proudly parades them around the house. She melts for gentle face and ear scratches and can’t resist a little harmless mischief especially when a shoe is left within reach.
Training & Manners: Cami is still learning her basics and is working on house training. She rides nicely in the car when secured. Because she’s blind, she shouldn’t sleep in a human bed but she happily settles into her own cozy spot each night. She prefers open, comfortable spaces over tight confinement.
Health & Care: Cami has hydrocephalus and is blind but otherwise a healthy young dog. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She’ll need monthly preventatives of heart worm and flea and tick, like any dog. As a Cavalier, she requires grooming every two to four months and benefits from a weekly brushing to keep it smooth.
Other Animals: Cami enjoys dogs her size and would love a friendly playmate. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her sweet nature suggests she’d adapt well.
Children: Cami would do well with older, respectful children who understand how to interact with a visually impaired puppy.
Ideal Home: Cami is a mostly quiet girl who only calls out when she’s hungry or needs help finding her way. She’s well‑suited for a condo or apartment. To keep her safe, she cannot live in a home with multiple levels or a pool and she will need a fenced yard so she can explore confidently.
Overall: Cami is a bright, affectionate puppy who will blossom with patience and guidance. If you think she might be your perfect match, please visit www.poodleandpoochrescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $400.
Ginger
Goldendoodle, ,***Local adoption only: Ginger needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking her to her follow-up vetting appointments for remaining vaccines and spay with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments have already been scheduled and their cost is covered in the adoption donation.***
Hi! I’m Ginger—almost 5 months old, 21 pounds and a Goldendoodle with legs made for prancing. My name might remind you of Ginger Rogers but trust me, I’m still learning my dance steps. I started out shy but once I realized the world wasn’t so scary, I began following the other dogs, playing and showing everyone my wiggly enthusiasm. I adore being close to my people and my furry friends, and I’m happiest when I’m part of the action. Being alone isn’t my favorite, but I settle and wait patiently until my humans return.
Favorite Things: Ginger is a joyful little companion who loves snuggles, belly rubs and anything that involves being near her people. She’s a playful pup who enjoys romping with another friendly dog, exploring the yard and lounging by the pool on warm days. She has a silly fondness for toes and her toy collection is her pride and joy; she believes the more toys, the better.
Training and Manners: Ginger is developing lovely habits for her age. She stays on track with her housetraining when taken out regularly and responds well when guided. She uses her sweet puppy voice to communicate her needs and is learning the basics of polite behavior. Continued practice with leash walking, table manners, and staying engaged will help her grow. New environments and car rides can make her uneasy, but with gentle reassurance, she’ll continue to build confidence.
Health and Care: Ginger is a healthy girl! She will just need her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a poodle blend, she will also need routine brushing and regular grooming to keep her coat soft and beautiful. She will need a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking her to her final puppy vetting appointments and spay. These have already been scheduled with PPR’s vetting partner, and their cost is covered in her adoption donation.
Other Animals: Ginger enjoys the company of other playful dogs and fits in beautifully with the doodle blends in her foster home. She’s polite with their belongings, follows their lead and plays with a sweet, submissive style. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her temperament suggests she could adapt with proper introductions.
Children: Ginger does well with older children (8+). Her soft, easygoing nature suggests she could do well with younger kids too, as long as they interact calmly and kindly with a puppy.
Ideal Home: Ginger would thrive in a home—whether a house, condo, or apartment—where someone is around often to enjoy her affectionate personality. She blossoms with companionship and would love another friendly dog to share her days with. A family who enjoys including her in their routine and helping her continue to mature into a confident young dog would be a wonderful match.
Overall: Ginger is a bright, affectionate sweetheart who is growing beautifully into herself. She’s clever, loving, and eager to be part of a family who will guide her through puppyhood with patience and joy. With her movie‑star name and her expressive charm, she’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
Can Ginger dance her way into your heart? 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 $650.
show lessHarley
Mixed Breed, ,Hi! I’m Harley, I'm almost one and a half years old, 45‑lb mixed‑breed girl with a whole lot of heart and an even bigger wiggle. My name might make you think of a motorcycle and honestly, I do have a little “rev” in my step when I’m excited but I’m also a snuggly sweetheart who loves being close to my people. I’m currently looking for a forever family who’s ready for a joyful companion like me.
Favorite Things: Harley is an enthusiastic, social girl who loves being part of her family’s daily rhythm. She enjoys outdoor time, exploring new scents and relaxing near her people once she’s had her fun. Toys are optional in her world; she’s just as happy soaking up affection or following her humans around.
Training and Manners: Harley is house trained when let out regularly and has a nice foundation of basic manners. She sleeps comfortably in her secure area at night and handles car rides without fuss. She’s still polishing her leash skills but her food‑motivated, clever nature makes her eager to learn. Harley is confident and expressive, especially when she prefers navigating situations on her own rather than being picked up.
Health and Care: Harley is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She’ll need monthly heart worm and flea/tick prevention, like all other dogs. Harley does have a skin issue that is currently being managed with medicated baths twice a week. She benefits from occasional nail trims to keep her comfortable.
Other Animals: Harley has experience with calm, laid‑back dogs but generally prefers to keep to herself around most others. She get along fine wiht the cats in her foster home, too.
Children: Harley has not lived with children, but her friendly, confident nature suggests she may do well with respectful kids who understand how to interact gently with a young dog.
Ideal Home: Harley can be left alone for several hours and relaxes in a secure area when her family is out. She’d be right at home in an apartment, townhome, or condo as long as she gets regular walks and a chance to explore. A family who appreciates her playful spirit and affectionate heart will find her a wonderful addition.
Overall: Harley is a bright, loving young dog who brings warmth and cheerful energy to every day. True to her name, she’s a little “Harley” with plenty of heart, always ready to roll into your life with her happy shimmy. She’s hoping to find a forever home where she can share all that sweetness.
If you think Harley could be the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $400.

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.
