Adopt a Dog in Need
Meet our beautiful dogs. Thank you for your interest in adopting!
Foxy
Chihuahua, ,***Bonded –Foxy & Hunter are bonded and must be adopted together.***
Meet Foxy and Hunter – Hi, we’re Foxy and Hunter! We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted. We’re both shy at first but playful and affectionate once we warm up. We are looking for a home where Chihuahuas are understood and there’s love enough for two of them!
Foxy – I’m an 8-year-old Chihuahua girl who weighs 5.9 lbs. While I’m a little shy at first, it doesn’t take me long to warm up and turn on the lovin’! I can take or leave toys but I’m smart, curious and enjoy getting to know my people and my home. I do get excited when strangers come by, and that includes any and all cats.
Hunter – I’m a 10-year-old Chihuahua boy who weighs 3.6 lbs. I love toys and can’t get enough of them. I also love adventures especially if they involve a car ride. I’m not crazy about meeting new people but once I find my special person I want to be close to them as much as possible.
Favorite Things: This pair enjoys time at home with Foxy being the more active one while Hunter quietly plays with his toys (though he’s not too keen on sharing). They both love to be close to their humans and prefer to have someone home more often than not.
Training & Manners: Foxy and Hunter are house trained when let out frequently. They'll need more training on leash walking and basic commands but they're both responsive and food motivated. Both sleep in the people bed at night in their foster home.
Health & Care: Foxy and Hunter are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings. They will both need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives and Hunter will need to continue pain medications for arthritis at a cost of about $20/month. Neither need professional grooming, just regular baths and nail trims.
Other Animals: Foxy and Hunter have experience with other small dogs but need slow introductions. Neither are a good fit with cats.
Children: These two sweethearts will do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 8+).
Ideal Home: A single-family home would be ideal for this pair because Foxy will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors. They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space.
Overall: If you’re looking for a couple of loving companions, Foxy and Hunter 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.

Chihuahua, ,Hi, I’m Gigi — a 5 1/2 year‑old Chihuahua blend with a big personality in a 15 pound package. I’m a sassy little comedian with expressive looks, funny noises, and a talent for dramatic side‑eye. I’m selective about my people, but once I decide you’re mine, I turn into a devoted cuddle bug who melts into your arms and follows you everywhere. I’m quirky, affectionate, protective, and full of charm — I just need to choose you first.
Favorite Things: Gigi loves her morning walk, then settles in with a plush toy and a few treats to start her day. She’s wonderfully vocal and uses her collection of silly sounds to share her opinions. Treat puzzles, tug, fetch, and her favorite stuffed toys keep her entertained, and her food motivation makes bonding easier. When playtime is over, she becomes a cozy couch companion who naps happily against her person.
Training & Manners: Gigi is housebroken, calm in the home, and enjoys a predictable routine. She sleeps soundly, handles everyday noises well, and chooses between her dog bed and yours depending on her mood. She needs slow, respectful introductions with new people, especially men, and warms up best when given space to approach on her own terms. She enjoys little adventures and continues to grow more comfortable with car rides.
Health & Care: Gigi is a healthy girl! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She only needs her monthly heart worm and flea/tick preventatives. Her grooming needs are minimal with routine nail trims and baths, which she handles well.
Other Animals: Gigi needs to be the only dog in her home, as she can be reactive on walks and prefers not to share her space. Her person will need to create calm distance when dogs approach and guide her past them. With time and decompression, she may tolerate a small visiting dog, but only with a slow, intentional introduction. She may do well with a confident cat who isn’t rattled by her big personality.
Children: Gigi thrives in a quiet, adults‑only home with a steady routine.
Ideal Home: Gigi does best in a calm home without frequent visitors. She’s protective of her space and may bark when new people enter, but she settles once she feels secure. She needs a patient adopter who respects her boundaries and lets her settle at her own pace. A single‑family home with a fenced yard is ideal for her comfort and routine.
Overall: Gigi is a quirky, expressive little character who brings humor and heart into the home. She notices everything, has opinions about most of it, and reveals her sweetest self when she feels understood. With a chihuahua savvy family who advocates for her, she relaxes into a peaceful rhythm — joining you for walks, tagging along on small adventures, and curling beside you during quiet afternoons.
If you think Gigi might be your perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. Her foster family will be in touch if it looks like a good fit. Gigi’s adoption donation is $325.

Care for a dog until they’re ready for adoption
Permanent Residents
Some of our dogs will stay in our care forever. Some have been through so much change and trauma in their lives that putting them through more change isn’t in their best interest, others may have medical needs or need hospice care – these dogs will remain in PPR foster care for the rest of their lives as Permanent Residents.
Apply To foster
When you become a foster parent, you are playing a significant role in our rescue program. When you invite a dog into your home, you provide the love, patience, and guidance to a little dog in need, and Poodle and Pooch Rescue provides the rest! We are responsible for all vetting, grooming, and medical needs the dog may have, all you have to do is treat the dog as if it’s your own. A typical fostering lasts 2 to 3 weeks, and you are never stuck with a dog. You choose the dogs you want to foster, and you are free to foster at your own convenience. If for whatever reason the dog you choose doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, we will simply place the dog into a new foster family. You get to enjoy the companionship of a dog without the lifelong commitment.
It’s really easy to foster all you have to do is:
- Check to see if you meet the requirements
- Fill out the dog Foster Application
