Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I'm Gigi! I am a 5-year-old Chihuahua blend who weighs 15 lbs. I may have a fancy French name, but I'm a simple girl at heart. Above all, I love to walk: let me repeat, I LOVE to walk, stroll, amble, trot, promenade, and waddle. Do you love strolls too? Do you think we could go on some adventures together?

Favorite Things: In addition to walks, Gigi has been known to enjoy lengthy meditation sessions: even though she is a Chihuahua, she *is* Zen. Even fireworks merely irk her: she is not afraid. Gigi will also choose a favorite human as her person. (Patience and treats help!) She particularly favors men.

Training & Manners: Gigi has all the makings of a little lady! She is housetrained if let out regularly. She sleeps in her dog bed (or on the sofa) at night. She walks well on a leash, which is lucky given her love of walks. She does not pull, does not sniff for eons, and keeps pace. She is getting better and less anxious about car rides. She can, however, be very skeptical of new people. She needs slow introductions and does not like it when strangers come towards her or engage her. With time, however, she warms up: with her Chihuahua-savvy fosters, she has become very sweet and snuggly after a few weeks.

Health and Care: Gigi is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She just needs her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative, like any other dog. She won't need much elaborate grooming and so far she has done well at bath time.

Other Animals: Gigi would do best as the only dog in a household, although she may get along with some cats. While on walks, usually ignores other dogs and/or is easily redirected. However, she will bark at new dogs and get snippy if they don't back off.

Children: This timid gal does best with in a quiet home with a predictable schedule, so she would do best in a home without children.

Ideal Home: Gigi hears all and knows all; she's a great guard dog. She barks, but will settle. She probably barks too much for an apartment, but a townhome would work.

Overall: Gigi is looking for a family with Chihuahua "street cred" and with the sort of "street cred" that comes from loving walks.

Do you think Gigi is just gorgeous? Then visit our website at www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. Her adoption donation is $325.

Hi, I’m Jeff! I’m a five‑year‑old Standard Poodle weighing 68 pounds of personality. I’m a playful, affectionate guy who loves being close to my people, handing out kisses and soaking up attention. I’m looking for a forever home where I can be the center of someone’s world and until then, I’d be a wonderful guest if you’re open to fostering me!

Favorite Things: Jeff is a cheese enthusiast and adores spending time with his favorite humans. Toys aren’t his top priority, but he’s goofy, clever and loves to interact; sometimes even playfully mouthing your hand.

Training & Manners: Jeff is house‑trained when let out regularly and sleeps soundly in a secure area at night. He’s still learning leash skills and polishing basic manners, so a patient adopter who enjoys guiding a smart dog will be a great fit. He rides calmly in the car and his food‑motivation makes training rewarding.

Health & Care: Jeff is heartworm positive and had a tumor on his chest that was removed by our veterinary partners. During treatment, he’ll need calm routines and short leash walks. His adoption fee covers the cost of care. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Following his heartworm treatment, he’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Jeff will need regular brushing and professional grooming to look and feel his best.

Other Animals: Jeff bonds deeply with his favorite people so he’ll need to be the only pet in the home.

Children: Jeff does not have experience with children at this point

Ideal Home: Jeff will do best in a single‑family home with a secure, fenced yard. He’s happiest with someone who is home more often then not, as he loves companionship and may bark when left alone for long periods.

Overall: Jeff is a bright, affectionate and quirky poodle ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you or would you consider fostering him until adoption? 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 $200.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Other Animals: Lil Bit and Bow Wow 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, Lil Bit and Bow Wow 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 $350.
