Daisy
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.

Terriers (Medium), ,Hi! I’m Dunkaroo! I’m a 9-month-old terrier blend weighing in at 46 lbs. While the humans aren’t 100% sure of my breed, I’m 110% sure I’m going to make one lucky family a playful, affectionate, and cuddly companion!
Favorite Things: This bubbly boy loves tossing around his favorite toys, soaking up attention, and heading out on fun adventures! Whether it’s a leisurely outdoor walk or a chance to stretch his legs on a run, Dunkaroo is always ready to make some memories. If you’re looking for a buddy to keep you active and make you laugh along the way, he might just be your guy!
Training & Manners: Dunkaroo is a sweet boy who is learning his manners and working on perfecting his leash-walking skills. He settles in nicely at night and when left home alone, snoozing soundly in his own bed. He’s also making great progress with housetraining and does best when given frequent opportunities to go outside. With a little continued guidance and consistency, this smart young pup is sure to keep growing into an even better companion!
Health & Care: Dunkaroo is a healthy boy who is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and microchipped! His short coat keeps grooming relatively simple, so regular baths and nail trims are all he needs to stay looking and feeling his best. More time for adventures and less time at the groomer!
Other Animals: This playful guy enjoys the company of other fun-loving pups! He has not yet been introduced to cats, so his compatibility with feline friends is currently unknown.
Children: A home with sturdy, older children who are comfortable around an enthusiastic, playful pup would be the best fit for Dunkaroo. He’s still a young guy with plenty of puppy energy, so he’ll do best with kids who can match his playfulness while respecting his space.
Ideal Home: A single family home is required for Dunkaroo. Daily exercise, outdoor adventures, playtime, and plenty of affection will help this energetic boy thrive. He’s looking for a family ready to include him in the fun and help him continue learning as he grows.
Overall: Ever had a Dunkaroo? You know, that delicious little snack with the cookies and frosting? Well, our Dunkaroo is just as sweet, but instead of coming with a side of sprinkles, he comes with four paws, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of love! He’s the full package: sweet, fun, and guaranteed to add a little extra joy to your everyday life. The only thing missing is YOU!
Sound like a good fit? Head to 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. Dunkaroo’s adoption donation is $350.
show lessGooby
Pug, ,Hi! I'm Gooby! I'm a 4-year-old Pug who weighs 26 lbs. Just like my name sounds, I'm a goofy goober with a HUGE personality! I'm looking for a forever family who will cherish my silly antics, soak up my cuddles, and happily make me the center of their world.
Favorite Things: Goofy Gooby absolutely loves being with his people. Whether he's cuddling up beside them or simply hanging out nearby, spending time with his humans is his idea of a perfect day. He also enjoys running around outside and is very much a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. Life is better when Gooby is around!
Training & Manners: Gooby is a well-mannered gentleman who has the basics down. He is housetrained when kept on a consistent schedule and is always eager to be part of the fun. His leash-walking skills could use a little more practice, but with some patience and consistency, he's sure to continue making great progress.
Health & Care: This silly boy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. As a Pug, Gooby has minimal grooming needs, making him a relatively low-maintenance companion.
Other Animals: Gooby interacts well with other dogs and would do well in a home with or without them. He has not yet been introduced to any cats.
Children: Gooby would be happy to have kids in his forever home! He interacts well with children and would love having them around for cuddles, playtime, and plenty of adventures.
Ideal Home: A single-family home, townhome, or apartment-style living could all be a good fit for Gooby. He doesn't need anything extravagant—just a loving family who will give him plenty of attention, companionship, and a cozy place to call home.
Overall: Gooby is the kind of dog who makes life more fun just by being in it. He's affectionate, goofy, easygoing, and full of personality. And if you're lucky, he may even show you one of his favorite tricks—a HANDSTAND! Yep, this silly boy loves showing off his impressive skills.
Are you the one for Gooby? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply! If it seems like Gooby could be a good match, his foster family will be in touch. His adoption donation is $375.

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.
