Poodle and Pooch Rescue

 ***Bonded – Bow Wow & Lil Bit are bonded and must be adopted together.***

Meet Bow Wow and Lil Bit! Hi, we are Bow Wow and Lil Bit. We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted. We’re both curious, gentle and a little shy and we’re searching for a family that has LOVE enough for two.

Bow Wow – I’m a 10-year-old Cairn terrier blend boy who weighs 12.6 lbs. I happily follow my best-friend-furever’s lead but I’m also fond of human cuddles. My enthusiastic wiggle when I see my people will tell them all they need to know.

Lil Bit – I’m a three-legged Chihuahua girl who is 13.5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. I take the lead in our dynamic duo, like any self-respecting Chihuahua, but Bow Wow is my best friend in the world and we get along like two peas in a pod. I’m also in charge of surveillance in my home and neighborhood, so you can rest easy.

Favorite Things: This pair eats, plays, and sleeps together and are very relaxed in each other’s company. Bow Wow loves to snuggle with his human and be scratched behind his ears. Lil Bit likes to sit on her human’s lap when it’s time to chill. They can take or leave toys, preferring to enjoy time with their people and their soulmates over playing with the squeaky stuff.

Training & Manners: Bow Wow and Lil Bit are house trained when kept on a regular schedule. They have good basic manners, walk well on their leashes and tolerate a car ride. Both sleep in their own cozy beds at night in their foster home.

Health & Care: This is a healthy pair who are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings. They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Bow Wow will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to look and feel his best while Lil Bit will need regular baths and nail trims that can be done at home.

Other Animals: Bow Wow and Lil Bit have experience with other small dogs as well as cats and get along with both but need slow introductions.

Children: These two sweethearts would do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 12+), or a home with no kids and quiet senior living would be great too! 

Ideal Home: This pair will need a home without stairs or a pool given Lil Bit’s three-legged physique. And they’ll do best in a single-family home because Lil Bit will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors (she has a strong resume as security director). They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space. This duo would do best in a fenced-yard where they can sniff, explore and wander together safely in nature.

Overall: If you’re looking for a cuddly couple who make wonderful companions for their people as well as each other, Bow Wow and Lil Bit might be the ones for you. If you think they might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation for the pair is $300.

Hi, I’m Cannoli! I'm an 11-lb, 8-year-old Chihuahua - Miniature Pinscher blend. As with my namesake dessert, if you look beneath my sometimes crunchy exterior you'll find a sweet softy who is looking for a quiet, calm, loving home. 

Favorite Things: Confident, curious Cannoli loves toys: the more, the merrier. He can also be a social butterfly who greets everyone with an enthusiastic wiggle, but he still requests his space and to be approached slowly.

Training and Manners: Cannoli is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, sleeps in his dog bed at night, is a good passenger on car rides, and generally has good basic manners, although he can startle around people. 

Health and Care: Cannoli is a healthy boy! He has an odd gait from a previous injury, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He is up-to-date on vaccines and neutered and he has just had his teeth cleaned. He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a short-haired Chihuahua, he shouldn't need much elaborate grooming, either. 

Other Animals: This friendly guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them, too. 

Children: Cannoli requires a gentle, non-forceful approach, for this reason, he needs a home without children and with patient, understanding, dog-savvy adults only. 

Ideal Home: Whether in an apartment, condo, or single-family home, this little guy doesn't need much: just a patient and loving person who will love him just as he is.

Overall: Do you think curious, playful Cannoli would make your life so much sweeter? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org; if it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch. His adoption donation is $275.

Hi! I'm Caraxes! I'm a 10-year-old Rat Terrier that weighs 13 lbs. My name may sound a bit more combat-ready than I am, but don't let the name fool you—I'm much more interested in snacks, snuggles, and living my best cozy life! After all, every good dragon rider needs a loyal companion, right?

Favorite Things: This little guy is a FOODIE! If you've got yummy snacks, Caraxes will be your new best friend! He's not much of a toy guy, but he's always happy to curl up with his favorite human for some quality snuggle time. His love language? Treats and companionship!

Training & Manners: Caraxes is a quiet gentleman with wonderful manners who enjoys napping in his bed and sharing his space with other dogs. He's still gaining confidence with leash walking and working on his housetraining. His foster mom keeps him on a consistent routine, but he may still have accidents, so his adopter should be prepared to continue working with him patiently and consistently.

Health and Care: Caraxes is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He will need monthly heartworm and flea prevention like any other Florida pup.

Other Animals: Other dogs are a-okay with Caraxes! He's patient and easygoing, even with pups who aren't quite as well-mannered as he is. He hasn't been introduced to cats, so any feline introductions would need to be slow, careful, and supervised.

Children: Caraxes has not interacted with children. Because he is shy and reserved, we believe older children who understand how to be gentle, respectful, and patient would be the best fit.

Ideal Home: Caraxes needs a patient and understanding family willing to give him time to build confidence. New situations can be scary for this sensitive little guy, and even going outside can sometimes make him nervous. A securely fenced yard is imperative since he isn't comfortable walking on a leash yet, and his adopter should be committed to helping him continue building confidence and mastering his housetraining.

Overall: Caraxes is a sweet, quiet, affectionate little guy looking for a safe place to land. He may be shy at first, but underneath his cautious exterior is a gentle companion who loves snacks, cozy beds, and being near his people. He'll need someone willing to give him time, patience, and plenty of reassurance, but watching him blossom could be incredibly rewarding. He may not be the fearsome dragon his name suggests, but with the right person by his side, Caraxes is ready to discover just how wonderful life can be!

If you think Caraxes may be the one, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. Caraxes' adoption donation is $300.
