Chuckie
Terrier (Unknown Type, Small), ,Hi, I’m Chuckie, a 4-year-old Terrier blend girl who weighs 11 pounds of pure energy! I’m smart and curious with a quirky, goofy side, all of which seems to make me that much more loveable!
Favorite Things: Chuckie loves an adventure – especially exploring the great outdoors, taking long walks, and playing fetch in the backyard. Playing with her toys is another favorite pastime and the more toys the better! She also enjoys food of any and every kind. This little girl is high-energy and benefits from lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation, so a family with an active lifestyle who is ready to share their adventures with a canine companion would be her dream come true.
Training & Manners: Chuckie is housetrained in her foster home where she is let out on a regular schedule. She walks well on a leash, has good house manners, and loves a car ride. Chuckie will need additional training and patience with her social skills, e.g. learning to be around strangers and meeting new people and dogs. She is working on managing her inclination to guard her resources and protect them from people and pets she doesn’t know. Given the chance to burn off her energy during the day, Chuckie sleeps soundly in the people bed at night.
Health & Care: Chuckie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and recently had a dental cleaning. She’s a healthy girl who will just need her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any pup. Chuckie’s terrier coat won’t require regular grooming, but regular brushing, baths, and nail trims will keep this girl looking and feeling her best, especially after a roll in the grass.
Other Animals: Chuckie has experience with calm, laid back dogs. She's also had some experience with cats, but a slow introduction to check the match on both dogs and cats will be important. Squirrels? Well, that’s another story but let’s just say she loves a good chase!
Children: Older children (age 8+) would make the best companions for Chuckie given her high energy level and ongoing training needs.
Ideal Home: Chuckie is an active gal who will do best in a single home with a secure, fenced yard to run off some of that energy in a safe space. She can be left alone in the home in a secure space for a few hours without issues.
Overall: If you are looking for an enthusiastic companion on your adventures and willing to teach her how to be her best self in a safe, loving environment, Chuckie might be the one for you. If you think she might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $400.

Maltese, Poodles (All Types),*** Bonded – Codey and Lexie are bonded and must be adopted together.
Meet Codey and Lexie! Hi, we’re Lexie and Codey, lifelong companions who adore each other and are ready to bring our gentle, senior sweetness to a new family. We’re calm, affectionate, easygoing, and we’re hoping to find a home with room in the heart for two.
Codey: I’m a 13year‑old Maltese blend boy who weighs 8 pounds. I’m young at heart, love staying close to my person, and bring a warm, cheerful presence wherever I go. I’m devoted, cuddly, and always ready to join in on whatever my human is doing.
Lexie: I’m a 12-year‑old Shih Tzu girl who weighs 10 pounds. I’m an independent soul who enjoys quiet moments, cozy spots, and choosing affection when it feels just right. I may be small, but I’m steady, observant, and full of soft charm.
Favorite Things
Codey: Codey loves staying near his person and happily shadows them throughout the day. He enjoys curling up on the couch, stretching out in bed, and following familiar routines. While toys don’t interest him much, he’s delighted by breakfast and dinner and cleans his bowl with gusto. He naps often but perks up the moment his human moves, eager to join in.
Lexie: Lexie enjoys peaceful moments and likes having her own little nook to unwind in. She’s independent and chooses affection on her terms, occasionally settling beside her person when she feels social. Toys aren’t her priority, but she loves mealtime and finishes every bowl with enthusiasm. During storms or fireworks she appreciates being close, showing her sweetest, most tender side.
Training and Manners
Lexie and Codey are both housetrained when given regular outdoor breaks and have lovely manners. They walk politely on a leash and enjoy calm car rides, making outings simple and pleasant.
Codey: Codey sleeps soundly either in his bed or curled up beside his person and quickly adapts to the rhythm of his home. Once he feels settled, he lets his human know when he needs to go outside, adding a thoughtful, communicative touch to his easygoing nature.
Lexie: Lexie settles comfortably in her dog bed at night and enjoys a calm, predictable routine. She allows being picked up with gentle caution and moves through her day with a soft, steady ease that makes her feel right at home.
Health and Care
Lexie and Codey are both microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will need monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives, just like any other dog.
Codey: Codey is neutered and also enjoys soft food, eating well and maintaining a healthy appetite. His grooming routine is easy, and he stays relaxed throughout baths and trims.
Lexie: Lexie is spayed and despite having no teeth, eats beautifully and finishes her meals with enthusiasm. Monthly grooming keeps her comfortable, and she handles it with patient cooperation.
Other Animals: Lexie and Codey are comfortable with dogs of all sizes and greet them with gentle curiosity. Their calm nature makes them easy companions for friendly canine households. Cats aren’t the right match for their interest level, but they blend beautifully into homes with respectful dogs.
Children: Both dogs have experience with children of all ages and handle interactions with patience and softness. Their steady, easygoing personalities make them wonderful companions for families who teach kids to be kind to senior pups.
Ideal Home: Codey and Lexie would thrive in a quiet, loving home where their people are around often. They enjoy calm environments, predictable routines, and spaces where they can rest comfortably. Apartment or condo living suits them well as long as they receive regular outdoor breaks and companionship. They balance independence with affection and appreciate having their humans close throughout the day.
Overall: Codey and Lexi are a bonded pair of gentle, loyal seniors who bring warmth, sweetness, and peaceful companionship wherever they go. They complement each other beautifully — one calm and observant, the other social and devoted — and together they offer a comforting, heartwarming presence. They’re ready to share their golden years with a family who will cherish their soft spirits and give them the loving home they deserve.
Are you the one for this pair? If so, 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. Their adoption donation is $250 for BOTH PUPS.

show lessDaisy
Maltese, Poodles (All Types),Hi, I'm Daisy! I’m a tiny, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle blend girl and I'm 10 years old. My hearing and vision aren't what they used to be, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring. Now I just need to discover a very special, patient family who will love me just the way I am.
Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention. Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite activities. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night).
Training & Manners: Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently. Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking, and her hearing sometimes makes it difficult to communicate with her. The good news is that she is highly food-motivated to improve her manners. She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet.
Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm, along with medications for anxiety. She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.
Other Animals: Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats.
Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens only.
Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home. Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment). A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person.
Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love, attention, and patience (and creativity when it comes to communication.)
Could special Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $175.

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.
