Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I'm Gigi! I am a 5-year-old Chihuahua blend who weighs 15 lbs. I may have a fancy French name, but I'm a simple girl at heart. Above all, I love to walk: let me repeat, I LOVE to walk, stroll, amble, trot, promenade, and waddle. Do you love strolls too? Do you think we could go on some adventures together?

Favorite Things: In addition to walks, Gigi has been known to enjoy lengthy meditation sessions: even though she is a Chihuahua, she *is* Zen. Even fireworks merely irk her: she is not afraid. Gigi will also choose a favorite human as her person. (Patience and treats help!) She particularly favors men.

Training & Manners: Gigi has all the makings of a little lady! She is housetrained if let out regularly. She sleeps in her dog bed (or on the sofa) at night. She walks well on a leash, which is lucky given her love of walks. She does not pull, does not sniff for eons, and keeps pace. She is getting better and less anxious about car rides. She can, however, be very skeptical of new people. She needs slow introductions and does not like it when strangers come towards her or engage her. With time, however, she warms up: with her Chihuahua-savvy fosters, she has become very sweet and snuggly after a few weeks.

Health and Care: Gigi is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She just needs her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative, like any other dog. She won't need much elaborate grooming and so far she has done well at bath time.

Other Animals: Gigi would do best as the only dog in a household, although she may get along with some cats. While on walks, usually ignores other dogs and/or is easily redirected. However, she will bark at new dogs and get snippy if they don't back off.

Children: This timid gal does best with in a quiet home with a predictable schedule, so she would do best in a home without children.

Ideal Home: Gigi hears all and knows all; she's a great guard dog. She barks, but will settle. She probably barks too much for an apartment, but a townhome would work.

Overall: Gigi is looking for a family with Chihuahua "street cred" and with the sort of "street cred" that comes from loving walks.

Do you think Gigi is just gorgeous? Then visit our website at www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. Her adoption donation is $325.

Hi, I’m Jeff! I’m a five‑year‑old Standard Poodle weighing 68 pounds of personality. I’m a playful, affectionate guy who loves being close to my people, handing out kisses and soaking up attention. I’m looking for a forever home where I can be the center of someone’s world and until then, I’d be a wonderful guest if you’re open to fostering me!

Favorite Things: Jeff is a cheese enthusiast and adores spending time with his favorite humans. Toys aren’t his top priority, but he’s goofy, clever and loves to interact; sometimes even playfully mouthing your hand.

Training & Manners: Jeff is house‑trained when let out regularly and sleeps soundly in a secure area at night. He’s still learning leash skills and polishing basic manners, so a patient adopter who enjoys guiding a smart dog will be a great fit. He rides calmly in the car and his food‑motivation makes training rewarding.

Health & Care: Jeff is heartworm positive and had a tumor on his chest that was removed by our veterinary partners. During treatment, he’ll need calm routines and short leash walks. His adoption fee covers the cost of care. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Following his heartworm treatment, he’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Jeff will need regular brushing and professional grooming to look and feel his best.

Other Animals: Jeff bonds deeply with his favorite people so he’ll need to be the only pet in the home.

Children: Jeff does not have experience with children at this point

Ideal Home: Jeff will do best in a single‑family home with a secure, fenced yard. He’s happiest with someone who is home more often then not, as he loves companionship and may bark when left alone for long periods.

Overall: Jeff is a bright, affectionate and quirky poodle ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you or would you consider fostering him until adoption? 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 $200.

Hi, I’m Lulu! I’m a 6-year-old Spaniel blend beauty weighing 33 pounds.  I’m both curious and shy, playful and protective, but above all resilient.  I love my humans, especially females, and I don’t hesitate to show affection with kisses and cuddles. I am extremely fearful of men and will need a female only home. I'll need a patient and dog-savvy person who is home more often than not to help me adjust to family life in a safe environment.

Favorite Things: Lulu loves squeaky toys, zoomies with squeaky toys, and snuggling on the sofa or outdoors on the porch.  She is abundantly affectionate and a faithful companion who loves to nuzzle and settle next to her favorite human. 

Training & Manners: Lulu is house-trained when let out frequently.  She has good basic manners when she is in a calm environment.  Loud noises made by things like trucks and appliances may startle her and she’ll likely respond by barking. She tends to be protective of her special human and may also bark to alert herself and others to possible danger.  She’s still working on leash walking skills – she loves to explore and could stay out on walks forever!  She tolerates a car ride and sleeps in her own bed at night, right beside her favorite human’s bed.

Health & Care: Lulu is spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any pup.  Grooming is easy - regular baths, ear checks, and nail trims will help her look and feel her best.

Other Animals: Lulu bonds deeply with her favorite person so she'll need to be the only pet in the home.

Children: Lulu will do best with older (teens+) kids only.

Ideal Home: Because she can be vocal, especially when she is alone or feels anxious, Lulu needs a single-family home.   She can be left alone in the home for a couple of hours but may have a few things to say until her person returns.

Overall: If you are looking for a faithful and affectionate companion and have time and patience to help her adjust to family life, Lulu might be the one for you.  If you think she might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $350.
