Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hello! My name is Benita. I’m a 2-year-old Terrier blended gal who weighs 33 lbs. I’m happy, playful, affectionate and curious.  I’m looking forward to finding my forever home where I can shower my person with love.  My name is derived from Spanish and Italian origin, and it means "blessed" or "fortunate”.  What a perfect name, as I feel so blessed and fortunate that you are considering ME to be a part of your life!

Favorite Things: Benita’s favorite thing in life is playing with balls!  She doesn’t seem to care much about other toys, but if you give this gal a ball, she is a happy camper.  She also likes attention and loves cuddles from her humans.  She is also an independent lady and is content to go off and do her own thing.

Training & Manners:  Benita is housebroken in her foster home and will need to be kept on a regular, consistent schedule. She walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks.  She loves riding in a car and has good basic manners.  She does sometimes cower when approached from overhead (this could be fear or anxiety from her past).  Her future humans should keep that in mind and avoid this to make her comfortable. She can be protective of her food, so this should be managed appropriately, especially if her new home has other pets.  Benita is not much of a barker. She is not a fan of rainy weather and gets nervous during inclement weather. Benita is very intelligent and additional training should be a breeze.

Health and Care: Benita is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She appears to be a healthy gal and will just need her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog. She is a low-maintenance girl and will just need an occasional bath and nail trims to keep her feeling her prettiest.

Other Animals: Benita has experience with dogs of all sizes and would do well with a canine sibling.  She will tell overly playful dogs to back off when she has had enough.  She could also be the only dog in her new home . . . more attention for her and extra snuggles for you!  She has not been tested with cats, but her foster thinks she would be okay with a feline friend.

Children: Benita has not been around children in her foster home.  We think she would be okay in a home with older children (10+), as long as they approach her slowly and with kindness. 

Ideal Home: Benita isn't choosy and would do okay in a house, apartment, townhouse or condo.  She can stay home alone in her secure area for several hours without issues.  At night, she sleeps well in her secure space. 

Overall: If you are looking to welcome a snuggly, playful and sweet girl to your life, maybe Benita could be the one?  If you think you could be the apple of her eye,  please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Benita’s adoption donation is $400.

Hi, I’m Bobby, a 4.4 pound Yorkie‑Chihuahua blend with the seasoned charm of a tiny Hollywood veteran who’s been in the business for over a decade. At 11 years old, I’ve mastered the art of quiet living and prefer life at a gentle, unhurried pace.

Favorite Things: Bobby loves settling into his cozy bed and enjoying the comfort of familiar surroundings. He prefers peaceful moments and appreciates having a space where he can relax without interruption. When he decides it’s time for affection, he offers it with a sweetness that feels intentional and heartfelt.

Training and Manners: Bobby is housetrained when let out frequently and communicates his needs clearly. He sleeps comfortably in his dog bed at night and maintains a steady routine that suits his tranquil nature. He can be left alone for several hours without concern and moves through his day with quiet confidence.

Health and Care: Bobby is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He’ll need monthly flea and heartworm prevention, like any dog. As a senior, Bobby has some aches, pains, and arthritis. A Chihuahua-savvy adopter who understands his cues and respects his boundaries when it comes to petting and affection will help him thrive.

Other Animals: Bobby has experience with dogs of all sizes and generally keeps to himself around them. His calm, neutral demeanor makes him easy to live with in a home that includes respectful canine companions. He has not been tested with cats, though his quiet nature suggests he would likely coexist without issue.

Children: Bobby needs an adult‑only home. He prefers predictable environments and does not enjoy being approached unexpectedly or disturbed while resting.

Ideal Home: Bobby would thrive in a low‑activity household that values gentle routines and a low-key, steady pace. He enjoys having a comfortable place to rest and appreciates adopters who respect his preference for choosing when he wants interaction. A patient, understanding home that understands his boundaries  will allow him to feel safe and supported.

Overall: Bobby is a small, tenacious senior with the understated charm of a classic character actor: subtle, expressive, and unforgettable once you know him. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who enjoys quiet days, soft beds, and affection on his own terms, Bobby may be the perfect addition to your story. If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org; if it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch. His adoption donation is $200.

Hello! My name is Bonnie. I’m a 3-year-old Pug gal who weighs 15 lbs. I’m a self-proclaimed goofball who still thinks I am a  puppy!  I’m playful, curious, affectionate and full of personality.  And YES . . . I can be a little mischievous.  I’m looking to find my FURever home where I can shower you with love, give you lots of kisses and snuggle.  I am a little bit of chaos, a lot of personality, and some puppy manners that still need work… but I also come with SO much love.

Favorite Things: Bonnie has many favorite things, including being close to her people and toys.  She will happily follow you around the house, curl up next to you, climb into your lap for a nap and make sure you are never too far away.  This silly girl loves toys and pretty much anything she can chew on.  Sometimes she even decides something that is not a toy should be a toy, so you will need to keep a close eye on this mischievous girl. Her greatest love is food.  If given an opportunity, she will happily help herself to whatever she can, and she’s working on understanding the difference between her food and your food.  She may have some strong opinions about that distinction!  Her love of food and treats should lend itself nicely when it comes to additional training for Bonnie.

Training & Manners:  Bonnie will need an adopter who can work with her on her house training as well as her basic manners and leash walking.  She is learning that hands and feet are not chew toys, and when she gets really excited and wants to play, she can be a little mouthy and play-bite with your hands and feet.  She will need a patient and consistent human to help her with those manners (she truly does still think she’s a puppy). 

Health and Care: Bonnie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She appears to be a healthy gal and will just need her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog. She is a low-maintenance girl and will just need an occasional bath and nail trims to keep her looking and feeling her absolute best.

Other Animals: Bonnie has experience with small, laid-back dogs and cats too.    

Children: Because she can be a bit mouthy with play biting, Bonnie would do best in a home with respectful children 8 years and older. 

Ideal Home: Bonnie isn't choosy as to her type of home.  This wiggle-butt would be happy in a single-family home, condo or apartment.  Her desire is to find a home where her human is home more often than not.    After a day of play, this active girl is happy to curl up in the “people bed” at night. 

Overall: If you have a home filled with love, patience, consistency and a good sense of humor, Bonnie just might be the one for you.  We are confident that she will thrive and become the best girl she can be.  Think Bonnie is for you? Please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Bonnie’s adoption donation is $450.
