Meet our beautiful dogs. Thank you for your interest in adopting!
Bella
Terriers (Medium), ,Meet Bella! This 6-and-a-half-year-old Terrier blend weighs 25 lbs. Are you looking for a loving and loyal companion to stay by your side throughout the day? Bella is your gal!
- General Behavior: Bella is a happy and easygoing pooch that loves her human with all her heart! She is content as long as her human is around, and she has a comfy blanket to snooze on. She is quite gentle and laid-back, making her a wonderful addition to a loving household.
- Likes & Dislikes: Beautiful Bella is a huge foodie! She enjoys munching on carrots, dog treats, and dental chews. She gets excited when she sees her treats and will wiggle her butt and tail in pure glee. Bella does not like when her humans leave her at home and gets quite sad. She'd much rather spend time with her family, getting snuggles, than be alone.
- Training: This happy girl has good basic manners and walks well on a leash. She does well with her housetraining when let out frequently. At night, she is content sleeping in her comfy dog bed until morning.
- Medical: Bella is currently on medication to help control her anxiety, especially when left home alone. The cost of this medication is approximately $8 per month. She also takes daily Apoquel for allergies, costing approximately $90 per month. Aside from this, Bella is a healthy pooch that will just require her monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
- Other Animals: Bella very much prefers her humans over any canine friends. She would do best in a home with no other dogs. She has not been introduced to any cats at this time.
- Children: Bella is a gentle girl, even when playing! She would make a great addition to a family with children.
- Home: Bella will require a single-family home without any directly connected neighbors. Due to her frequently vocalizing her dislike for being left alone, it would be best that Bella have a family that is home more often than not, that can provide her with the love, comfort, and attention that she deserves and craves.
- Grooming: As a short-haired pooch, Bella will not require frequent grooming, other than regular baths and nail trims.
- Overall: Bella is a sweet and happy girl with so much love to give to her people. A person looking for a loyal and laid-back companion would be a perfect fit for Bella!
Are you the one for Bella? Visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, and heartworm negative. Her adoption donation is $300.
show lessBrutus
Terrier (Unknown Type, Small), ,Meet Brutus! This 2-year-old Shih Tzu blend weighs approximately 16 lbs and is ready for snuggles galore!
- General Behavior: Brutus is very hesitant around strangers but, given time, he bonds very closely with his person. He will soon be snuggling up on the couch and wanting nothing more than chin scratches and toys!
- Likes & Dislikes: Brutus is a huge fan of squeaky toys. He often contents himself with chewing and throwing them around, though he will be open to the occasional tug of war. He’s a smart boy who would be great at snuffle mats or puzzle toys to keep his youthful energy occupied. He is not a fan of strangers approaching him and will try to tug away from them, so slow introductions are a must.
- Training: Like many pups from hoarding situations, Brutus has never truly been on a leash. However, he is surprisingly great on one and doesn’t tug at all! He only attempts to get away when strangers approach him, so he does need to be leashed at all times and any owner must keep an eye on him and not rush him into interactions. He is also learning that shoes and other random items are not toys, so his new family should commit to continuing this training. Brutus is potty trained when let out on a schedule.
- Medical: Brutus is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives.
- Other Animals: Brutus would be fine as an only dog OR the sibling to a low energy pup. He needs a pup who will allow him time to get used to his new home and not rush him into playing. He is a bit overly interested in cats, so might not be a great fit for a feline who isn’t well versed in a dog best friend.
- Children: Most likely, Brutus needs a home with children 12+, as he does get scared when approached too quickly or is tugged on/forced into interactions.
- Home: Brutus will need a single family home. He’s never known what it’s like to be alone, so he does often cry/bark when left to himself. He’s a small boy who doesn’t necessarily need a yard to run around in, though he would enjoy one if possible!
- Grooming: Brutus has a wiry coat that will need occasional grooms, along with nail trims and bathing.
- Overall: Brutus is SUCH a love bug when finding his person and is ready to give all his cuddles to the perfect forever family
Is that someone you? Brutus would love to love you! To find the application to adopt, visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org. His adoption donation is $375.

Labradoodle, ,BONDED PAIR: Emma MUST be adopted with her sister, Tinlee
Meet Emma! This 4-year-old brown Labradoodle weighs 80 lbs. Emma is a sweet and cunning gal who can always be found by her sister, Tinlee’s side.
- General Behavior: Emma is a laid-back and easy-going pooch. She watches and makes her moves in a very deliberate manner. While she can often be found snoozing away on a comfy dog bed, she is quick to step up for attention and cuddles.
- Likes & Dislikes: Emma loves to snuggle with her human and her sister, Tinlee. She’s quick to respond when yummy treats are involved and enjoys partaking in fun games of fetch!
- Training: These adorable gals have good basic manners and do well with their housetraining when let out frequently. They are both quite strong and are working on their leash-walking skills. Emma is particularly polite about taking her treats and waiting her turn for them.
- Medical: Both Emma and Tinlee are healthy pups who just require their monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
- Other Animals: Emma enjoys the company of other dogs, although she prefers to hang out with her sister. Both girls do well with cats.
- Children: A home with children would be a great fit for these gentle and darling pups!
- Home: A single-family home or dog-friendly apartment living would make for a perfect fit for Emma and Tinlee, although they are large pups and will require a sizeable home with a family that can provide them with the activity and playtime that they love.
- Grooming: As Poodle-blends, Emma and Tinlee will require regular brushing and a trip to the groomer every so often for a trim. Their family can expect to pay approximately $85+ per pup for grooming and should be aware of this recurring expense.
- Overall: Emma & Tinlee are a very lovable duo that is sure to steal your heart as soon as you meet them!

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.
