Poodle and Pooch Rescue

***Local adoption only: Dunkaroo 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 and neuter with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments have already been scheduled and their cost is covered in the adoption donation.***

Hi, I’m Dunkaroo! I'm a Boston Terrier blend and I'm just 3 months old. We don't know how big I'll grow to be yet, but I'm already a strapping 6 pounds. Part Kangaroo, part Dunkin Donuts-level of sweetness, I'm just your typical puppy who loves snacks, snuggles, toys, and playtime and who is looking for someone who will love me forever. 

Favorite Things: Dunkaroo is all puppy. He loves toys: the more, the merrier (particularly if he can chew them). He is an active and energetic pup, loves playtime and he is a bit of a foodie. 

Training & Manners: This smart cookie has learned a lot in his three months, but he still has some tricks to pick up. He needs more practice with housetraining, leash-walking, etc. He will need an adopter who is experienced with large breed dogs and who is active and willing to put in the training that is needed to raise a large breed puppy. 

Health & Care: Dunkaroo is a healthy pup! He will just need an adopter who will commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments (including neuter).  These have already been scheduled with PPR’s vet partner in Central Florida and are covered by his adoption donation. As far grooming goes, this easygoing guy shouldn't need too much elaborate grooming. 

Other Animals: An energetic, gregarious guy, Dunkaroo does well with other playful dogs

Children: This bouncy guy gets along well with older children (ages 8+) who can match his activity level. 

Ideal Home: This sweet guy would do best in a single family home, because he is still adjusting to being left alone as a young puppy so he barks and cries when left alone.

Overall: Do you think adopting Dunkaroo would be a slam dunk? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $475.

Hi, I’m Eddie! I’m a 2‑year‑old, 15‑lb Chihuahua blend, equal parts curious adventurer and loyal sidekick. I like being around my humans; on the couch, in the yard or simply sharing the same space. I’m clever, observant and always ready to join in on whatever the day brings.

Favorite Things: Eddie loves spending time with his humans. He likes exploring outside, checking out new scents and being part of the daily routine. Toys? Meh. Companionship? Absolutely. He’s affectionate, gentle and wonderfully social.

Training & Manners: Eddie walks nicely on a leash, has good basic manners and sleeps happily in the people bed. He comes when called and settles beautifully once he knows the routine. He can be left alone for several hours and does well with a predictable schedule.

Health & Care: Eddie is microchipped, neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Like all dogs, he’ll need monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. Grooming is simple: regular baths and nail trims.

Other Animals: Eddie does well with calm dogs and enjoys their company. He hasn’t met cats yet but his foster thinks he’d likely be fine. He has a playful interest in birds and small critters, though he’s easily redirected.

Children: This gentle, patient boy does well with children of all ages.

Ideal Home: Eddie does best with people who are home often and appreciates having a relaxed dog around. Since he has a little wanderlust, he’ll need a single‑family home with a securely fenced yard.

Overall: Eddie has blossomed into a cheerful, loving companion who fits right into family life. He’s sweet, social and ready for his forever home. If he sounds like your perfect match, head to www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply. His adoption donation is $425.

Hi! I’m Hunny, a 2 year old, 13 lb Terrier blend with a name that suits me perfectly. Like something sweet and golden, I stay close to the people I love and brighten every room I bounce into. I’m curious, playful and always ready for the next adventure. My foster parents call me “Sunny” because I bring warm, cheerful energy wherever I go. I adore toys, exploring new places and giving enthusiastic kisses to the people I trust.

Favorite Things: Hunny is a joyful little character who thrives on fun and connection. Toys are her greatest treasures and she proudly carries them around as if each one is a prized find. Once she feels comfortable, she melts into affection and enjoys curling up beside her people. Her curious nature shines through in the way she investigates new sights and sounds and her lively, athletic spirit makes her a delightful companion for anyone who enjoys an active dog.

Training and Manners: Hunny is a bright girl who responds beautifully to consistency and positive reinforcement. She is house trained when given frequent outdoor breaks and continues to improve. She walks nicely on a leash, tolerates car rides and sleeps happily in the people bed or in her own cozy spot in the bedroom. Like many young, energetic pups, she’s still learning what counts as a chew toy and benefits from gentle redirection. Her eagerness to please and quick mind make training both fun and rewarding.

Health and Care: Hunny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She’ll need monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, just like any dog. Her coat is low‑maintenance requiring routine care and nail trims to keep her looking and feeling her best.

Other Animals: Hunny enjoys the company of dogs with a similar play style. She hasn’t been formally tested with cats, but her calm curiosity suggests she could adapt well with proper introductions.

Children: Hunny hasn’t lived with children in her foster home, but her affectionate nature and gentle demeanor indicate she would likely do well with older, respectful kids who understand how to interact with a small dog.

Ideal Home: Hunny is an active, social pup who thrives with companionship and routine. She experiences anxiety when left alone and expresses her feelings vocally, so she’ll do best with someone who is home often or able to help her build confidence gradually. She has shown some hesitation around men, but her foster has been working with her and she’s already making encouraging progress as she learns to trust. Hunny would be comfortable in an apartment, townhome or condo as long as she receives plenty of exercise and mental enrichment to keep her engaged. A family who appreciates her playful personality and clever mind will find her endlessly rewarding.

Overall: Hunny is an affectionate, athletic and wonderfully curious little dog who brings sunshine into every day; true to both her name and her nickname, “Sunny Hunny.” She’s smart, snuggly, full of charm and ready to become a devoted companion to someone who loves her lively spirit and big heart. With patience, consistency and plenty of toys, she’ll blossom into an incredible best friend.

If Hunny’s mix of sweetness, smarts and sunshine feels like the perfect addition to your family, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply. If it looks like a great match, her foster family will reach out with next steps. Her adoption donation is $500.
