Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I’m Benji! Yes, like that Benji… loyal, lovable, and always ready for my next adventure. I’m a 4½-year-old Goldendoodle weighing in at 65 pounds of fluff, fun, and heart. I’ve perfected the art of being your shadow (I consider it a full-time job), and I’m happiest with my toys and when I’m near my people, soaking up every moment of togetherness. I may not star in movies, but I promise I bring just as much charm — and maybe even better cuddles. 

Favorite Things: Toys are Benji’s absolute love language — the more, the merrier — and he has a charming way of turning even the simplest playtime into a full production. He’s equally enthusiastic about car rides, happily hopping in for any adventure, big or small. While he enjoys activity, he doesn’t need constant motion; he’s just as content settling in for cozy moments, especially if that includes snuggling close.

Training and Manners: Benji is house trained when let out regularly and has solid foundational manners that make him an easy companion in the home. He walks nicely on a leash, settles well into daily routines, and enjoys being part of the family at bedtime, happily snoozing alongside his people.

Health and Care: Benji is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He receives monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention, just like all other dogs. His beautiful coat will need regular professional grooming every 4–6 weeks to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Other Animals: Benji has a wonderfully easygoing approach to other animals. He tends to mind his own business around other dogs and has experience living with cats, showing respectful and calm interactions. His adaptable nature allows him to fit into a variety of multi-pet households with ease.

 Children: Benji adores being around kids and has shown that he enjoys their presence and energy. Because of his playful enthusiasm and larger size, he does best with slightly older (8+), more sturdy children who can match his spirited personality.

Ideal Home: Benji is looking for a single-family home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. He thrives in a home where people are around often, as companionship is one of the most important parts of his world. Social, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, Benji loves being included in everyday routines as well as special outings and adventures. Because he forms strong bonds and feels most secure near his family, he’ll do best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long stretches of time.

Overall: Benji is the kind of dog who brings warmth, laughter, and heart into a home from the very start. True to his famous name, he has that classic “hero dog” spirit — loyal, loving, and always ready to be close to the people he adores. He combines affection, intelligence, and a playful streak that makes life with him both joyful and deeply rewarding. Whether he’s trotting by your side, proudly carrying around a toy, or curling up nearby at the end of the day, Benji has a special way of making every moment feel a little sweeter. He isn’t just looking for a place to live — he’s looking for a true connection, and when he finds his people, he’ll give them his whole heart.

If Benji sounds like your kind of dog, visit PPR at poodleandpoochrescue.org and fill out an application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster parents will reach out. His adoption donation is $400.

Hi, I’m Billy! I'm a 29-lb Rat Terrier and I'm 6 years old. I'm just an easy going, quiet guy who is just looking for someone with snacks who will love me forever. 

Favorite Things: Billy is a bit of a foodie! He's playful, too, although this gentle soul is quite happy doing his own thing and doesn't need constant human attention.

Training & Manners: Billy is a good boy! He is housetrained if let out regularly, he is a well behaved passenger on car rides, he walks well on a leash, and he generally has good basic manners.

Health & Care: This little gastronome is currently on a weight loss journey and has been making great strides. He’ll need a family committed to continuing the journey with him which includes daily walks and closely monitoring his food intake. He is on daily medication to control his allergies and support his thyroid function. This costs about $85 per month.  Other than that, he is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. He also won't need much elaborate grooming, as a short-haired guy. 

Other Animals: This gregarious guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He's even fine with cats!

Children: Sweet Billy is good with children of all ages. 

Ideal Home: Laidback and chill, Billy isn't picky and would be happy to live an apartment, condo, or single-family home: wherever there are people who love him. 

Overall: Could Billy be your bestie? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350.

 ***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.
