Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hello! My name is Albert. I’m a 5‑year‑old Yorkie boy, about 10 lbs, and I’m searching for a patient, dog‑savvy adopter who understands that some pups need a little extra time and guidance. I need someone who can provide me with structure. I’m curious, fun, and adventurous, just needing a second or two to warm up to new people. I can be choosy about other dogs, but could be comfortable having a larger doggy sibling as long as they are more mellow.

Favorite Things: Albert loves his walks—he’s practicing not barking at people and other dogs, and he’s making progress. Toys are his treasures. He can be a bit possessive of them, though he’s learning to play fetch and has shown improvement in his foster home. He’s an energetic little guy who adores doing zoomies!

Training & Manners:  Albert is housebroken in his foster home and reliably does his business outside or on walks after meals. He’s food‑motivated, not picky about his treats, and is learning basic commands like sit, down, and wait. He’s also an independent player who enjoys keeping himself entertained. He is learning to walk nicely on leash, tolerates a car ride, and is working on polishing his manners. Like many young pups, he still has some “puppy nipping,” . Redirection works best for him.

Health and Care: Albert is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and had a recent dental cleaning. Like any dog, he will need his monthly flea and heartworm prevention. As a Yorkie, he may need periodic grooming for his coat and nail trims. He’s done well for groomers in the past! He sometimes uses an ear wash weekly, which costs about $10 a month.

Other Animals: Albert loves to have his person all to himself and would not mind being the only dog in the home. He is hesitant of the larger dogs (50 and 70 lbs) in his foster home though has opened up to them slightly. We feel he would be bossy/rude with a pushier small dog, so we do not think this would be best for Albert. He would likely do ok with a large, confident and well-mannered dog who has no history of resource guarding. A larger dog would need to be assessed with Albert prior to adoption. He would not do well with feline friends. 

Children: Albert does not like being forced into positions and doesn't appreciate manhandling of any kind. For this reason, homes with children under 13 would likely not be a good fit for Albert.

Ideal Home: Albert isn't choosy and would do okay in a house, apartment, townhouse or condo.  Like any dog, His DREAM home would be a single‑family home with a fenced yard so he can safely run, explore, and get his zoomies out. He can stay home alone for several hours without issues, and when you return, he’s ready to play! At night, he sleeps well in his secure space and waits patiently for morning.

Overall: If you’re looking for a small, spirited, playful boy, Albert might be your match! With consistent training and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become your loyal, loving companion. Do you think Albert could be the one for you? If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $375. 

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.

 ***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.
