Poodle and Pooch Rescue

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.

My name is Diva and I am a 6-year-old Chihuahua gal weighing just under 7 lbs.  Don't let my name fool you . . .  I am NOT the kind of diva that is temperamental or expects special treatment.    But, I am a diva in the positive sense of being confident!  I am an absolute sweetheart and a happy gal who just wants to be near people.  My foster mom says I am the perfect little girl!  

Favorite Things: Diva is a big fan of toys (she can’t get enough of them).  She also loves going for walks and would love to be able to hit the town with you. 

Training & Manners:  Diva is a smart pup and house trained when let out frequently in her foster home.  She has a very gentle nature and quickly adjusts to new routines.  Diva approaches new situations with confidence and curiosity and would make an excellent companion to take along on outings.  She walks well on a leash and does well riding in a car (preferably to go out and about with you).

Health and Care: Diva is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed and she had a recent dental cleaning.   She’s a healthy gal and will just require monthly heartworm and flea medication (like all dogs).   She is low maintenance . . . . occasional  “at home spa days” with a bath and nail trim will keep her looking and feeling her best.  

Other Animals:  Diva has experience with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats and is indifferent to both in her foster home.  She would do great in a home with other canine or feline friends, or she would be fine as an only dog as well.

Children: Because Diva is a tiny gal, she will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home. 

Ideal Home: Diva isn’t choosy and would thrive in any type of home; from a single-family home to an apartment or condo.  In her foster home, she has free rein of the house and can be left alone for several hours without issues. After a day of exploring and playing, she is content to curl up in her dog bed at night.

Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, laid back and snuggly gal, Diva could be your perfect, loyal companion.

Do you think Diva could be the one for you?  If so, please 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. Diva’s adoption donation is $300.   

Hi, I’m Dobby, a 1-year-old, 13 lb Chihuahua blend with big house-elf energy and an even bigger heart. I’m curious, outgoing, and always eager to see what’s happening around me. Whether I’m supervising the backyard, greeting my people with a full-body wiggle, or investigating something interesting, I like being part of the action. I may be small, but I bring plenty of personality, affection, and charm wherever I go. Best of all, unlike the famous Hogwarts house-elf, I’m not looking for a sock—I’m looking for a forever family.

Favorite Things: Dobby loves toys and believes there’s no such thing as having too many. He enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring the yard, and accompanying his people on walks. While he starts the day ready for adventure, one of his favorite ways to end it is curled up beside his favorite human, enjoying some well-earned relaxation.

Training and Manners: Dobby is fully housetrained when let out regularly, walks well on a leash, and rides nicely in the car. He rests comfortably in his secure area at night and can spend a few hours there during the day when home alone. Like many young dogs, he is still polishing his manners and learning how to channel his excitement appropriately. A quick learner, Dobby is making great progress with commands like "drop it" and "leave it" and is eagerly building his skills every day.

Health and Care: Dobby is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and ready for his forever home. He will need monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. His grooming needs are minimal, requiring only regular baths and nail trims.

Other Animals: Dobby enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best with a canine companion who appreciates an active, interactive play style. He has not been formally tested with cats, but his foster believes he may do well with a cat following slow, thoughtful introductions.

Children: Because Dobby is still maturing and can become mouthy when excited, he is best suited for a home with children ages 8 and older.

Ideal Home: Dobby is looking for a single-family home with a secure, fenced yard. While he enjoys walks, having outdoor space to safely explore and burn off energy will help him thrive. One of his favorite daily routines is heading outside each morning before enjoying time in the yard to start his day. He would do best with a family that can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to keep both his body and mind engaged.

Overall: Dobby is a bright, affectionate companion who brings equal parts fun and devotion to everyday life. Whether he's making you laugh with his antics, joining you for an adventure, or settling in for an evening cuddle, he approaches life with enthusiasm and heart. If you've been waiting for your very own loyal sidekick, Dobby may be the kind of magic you've been hoping to find.

Could Dobby be the bit of magic your family has been waiting for? Submit an application at poodleandpoochrescue.org, and their foster family will be in touch if it’s a match. His adoption donation is $400.
