Carl
Welsh Corgi, Australian Shepherd,Hi! I’m Carl, a 4‑year‑old, 24‑lb Welsh Corgi–Australian Shepherd blend and yes my name may sound like your friendly neighbor, but I promise I’m the more athletic one. I’m a curious, clever guy who loves exploring the world on my short but mighty legs. I enjoy long walks, learning new things and being a loyal sidekick to my favorite humans. I’m happiest when I get to join in on the day’s adventure… just don’t try to pick me up because I prefer keeping all four paws on the ground.
Favorite Things: Carl enjoys being part of an active household and loves getting outside for walks and yard time. He’s a quiet companion who doesn’t bark much and while toys don’t impress him much, he delights in outdoor time, tasty treats and relaxing near his family once the day winds down.
Training and Manners: Carl is house trained when let out regularly, walks nicely on a leash and sleeps soundly in his dog bed at night. He handles car rides well and has a solid grasp of basic manners. His food‑motivated, clever personality makes him a quick learner and he communicates politely when he prefers not to be picked up.
Health and Care: Carl is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He’ll need monthly heart worm and flea/tick prevention, like all other dogs. His grooming routine is simple; occasional baths and nail trims to keep him feeling his best.
Other Animals: Carl has experience with small dogs and may do well with a calm, compatible companion but he is not suited for a home with cats. He prefers predictable interactions and appreciates having his space respected.
Children: Carl is comfortable with children of all ages.
Ideal Home: Carl can be left alone for several hours and relaxes in a secure area of the home when his family is out. He’d do best in a single‑family home with a securely fenced yard, as he loves to stretch his legs and explore. He once got a bit too excited and nudged through a screen, so a sturdy fence helps keep his happy adventures contained. An active family who enjoys walks and outdoor time will be a great match.
Overall: Carl is a bright, loving and loyal dog who brings both fun and sweetness to everyday life. True to his name, he’s the dependable “Carl” everyone wishes they had; steady, funny and always ready to join in.
If you think Carl is the one for you, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.

Hounds (All Types), ,Hi, I’m Cash and just like Johnny, I keep a close watch on this heart of mine! I’m a handsome one-year-old Hound blend, a shy boy who is still learning to trust people. But when I do (and I don’t rush it), I’m affectionate in my own quiet way. I tend to be anxious when left alone so I’m hoping to find a home where experienced and patient dog lovers are there more often than not. My 35-pound frame is perfect for walks and adventures and I’m in great shape, agile and athletic.
Favorite Things: Cash is a lover of cheese and peanut butter and well, food in general! He also enjoys leash walks and exploring the yard. He can take or leave toys, much preferring to hang out with his people. He’s a bit of an introvert but loves having his trusted people nearby.
Training & Manners: Cash is house-trained when let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, but continued training and practice will help him shine in his new neighborhood and beyond! His new family will also need to continue his training on basic commands and house manners but he’s a smart boy and food motivated. He loves car rides and sleeps soundly in a secure space at night.
Health & Care: Cash is neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. A simple routine of regular baths and nail trims will help this handsome guy continue to look and feel his best.
Other Animals: Cash has experience with calm, laid back dogs. He does not have experience with cats and his foster mom thinks he would likely not do well with them.
Children: This sweet but timid boy needs to be in a home with teens/adults only.
Ideal Home: Cash will do best in a single-family home because he can be quite vocal when left alone and a fenced-in yard where he can explore safely would be great. A home where someone is home more often than not is ideal for this sweet boy but he can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space.
Overall: If you’re looking for a loving companion who could share your love of hiking, walking, and other adventures and are willing to give him time to adjust to life in a safe environment, Cash might be the one for you. If you think he might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.

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.

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.

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.
