Daisy
Maltese, Poodles (All Types),Hi . . . My name is Daisy and I am a sweet senior gal who is 10 years old. I’m a tiny Maltese/Poodle blend girl weighing just 7 lbs. I am vision impaired, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring . I truly appreciate my freedom, affection and care and would love to be the princess in my forever home.
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 things. 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. She has good basic manners and is highly food motivated. 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. 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.
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 and attention.
Could 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 $200.

Eddie
Chihuahua, ,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.
show lessJimmy
Poodle (Standard), ,Hi, I’m Jimmy! I'm an 42-lb Poodle blend and I'm 8 years old. I'm just your average goofy, playful, cuddly, kid-friendly, adventurous guy except that I'm still looking for a family who will love me forever.
Favorite Things: Jimmy is a very playful and affectionate dog who loves being around people, especially kids. He is extremely toy-motivated and can’t get enough of them—his favorites are fetch and tug-of-war!
Training & Manners: Jimmy is a gentleman! He is very food-motivated and eager to please, which has made training easy so far. He already knows basic commands like “sit” and “paw” and will happily perform them for treats. He is housetrained and will let you know when he needs to go out. He loves car rides and is a great passenger. He enjoys going on walks and does well overall but would benefit from a bit more leash practice as he continues to learn. He is also a bit messy when it comes to drinking water from his bowl.
Health & Care: Jimmy is neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. He is a Doodle, so regular grooming is a must for him. His coat needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting, and he’ll need professional grooming about every 6–8 weeks. Luckily, he loves having his hair brushed and being the center of attention!
Other Animals: Jimmy is good with other large dogs. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster doesn't think they'd get along.
Children: Jimmy loves children of all ages!
Ideal Home: Due to his playful energy levels, Jimmy needs a single-family home with a securely fenced yard.
Overall: Jimmy is a happy, loving, and fun companion who will thrive in a home that can continue his training and give him plenty of playtime and attention. Has playful Jimmy jumped into your heart? 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 $400.

Foster a Dog
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.
It’s really easy to foster all you have to do is:
- Check to see if you meet the requirements
- Fill out the dog Foster Application
- Select A Pet
- Fill out the questionnaire
- We’ll call you to help find the right match for your family.
