Collins
Chihuahua, Terriers (Small),Meet Collins! This 1-year-old Chihuahua blend, full of spunk, weighs 7 lbs. Tiny but mighty, Collins has a big personality, and he is sure to show it once settled around his dog-loving humans.
- General Behavior: Collins makes for a wonderful companion! While timid at first, once he is comfortable with you, he can be found racing around the home, then dashing over to his human for a quick snuggle. He’s adventurous and would enjoy the company of a human with the same trait.
- Likes & Dislikes: Handsome Collins loves to relax outside, especially when the weather is nice! A selection of cozy blankets and beds is a must for this cutie! He enjoys burrowing in them at night for a good night's sleep.
- Training: Collins is quite the smart cookie! He has good basic manners and walks well on a leash. He has done well with his house training, especially when let out often and on a schedule.
- Medical: Allergy season is among us! Collins takes daily medication to control his environmentally related allergies. The cost of this medication is approximately $45 per month. Additionally, Collins requires his monthly heartworm and flea preventative, like any other dog.
- Other Animals: Collins interacts well with dogs of all sizes and wouldn’t mind having a canine companion in his forever home. He will require a home with no cats.
- Children: Due to his tiny size and ability to escape out of open doors, Collins will need a home without small children. Older children (8+) would be OK.
- Home: A single-family home or dog-friendly apartment living would be just fine for this big-hearted boy! He will require a home that is kept secure as he will take any opportunity to run out an open door or through a space in a fence. He should always be supervised when outside, as any dog should.
- Grooming: This little guy will not require any frequent trips to the groomer. He will just need his regular baths and nail trims.
- Overall: Collins is a charming boy who will make a great companion for a dog-loving family with lots of love to give!
Are you the one for Collins? Visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org, where you will find the application to adopt. You'll be put in contact with his foster family if it's a potential match. Collins is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. His adoption donation is $400.
show lessCosmic
Collie, ,Meet Cosmic! This Collie blend is just 3 months old and currently weighs 20 lbs (although this will not be her size full grown.) Cosmic’s cuteness, love, and affection are truly out of this world! She is looking to sprinkle a little stardust into a lucky family’s life.
- General Behavior: Cosmic is your typical, playful puppy. She is still a very young pup and has a lot to learn about the wide world, so she can be a little timid if something scares her.
- Likes & Dislikes: Cosmic is quite an active pup and likes going for walks, but she also loves to snuggle on the couch. She’s a perfect companion for whatever you want to do! She is also starting to get a hang of those squeaky, chewy, fluffy things called toys.
- Training: As a very young pup, Cosmic still has a lot to learn, but she is smart cookie. She is mostly housetrained if let out very frequently. She is walking well on a leash so far and rides well in a car.
- Medical: Cosmic is a healthy girl! She just needs her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Cosmic is good with other dogs of all sizes. She’s even good with cats!
- Children: Sweet, loving Cosmic is good with children of all ages.
- Home: As a young pup, Cosmic needs someone who is home more often than not to train her. She could do well most any type of home—whether an apartment, condo, or single-family home— but she will probably need a place where she can exercise or a family who can give her enough exercise.
- Grooming: This gorgeous gal has a fluffy coat that will need attention from a professional groomer about every 6-8 months. She sheds quite a bit, but she needs to be brushed gently or she gets upset and just needs some time.
- Overall: Cosmic will make a wonderful companion for an active family who can raise her, train her, and love her forever.
Are you (like Florence and the Machine) ready for some Cosmic love? Then visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family if it’s a match. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption donation is $525..
show lessEstrella
Labrador Retriever, Terriers (Medium),Meet Estrella! This 1-year-old Labrador Retriever-Terrier blend weighs 28 lbs. Estrella is as cute as a button and is looking for an active and fun-loving family!
- General Behavior: Estrella is a very sweet girl who loves her family with all of her heart! She can be wary of strangers but warms up quickly, especially when given rewards like fun toys or yummy treats. Estrella is a fairly quiet gal and can often be found snoozing by your feet or in your lap.
- Likes & Dislikes: Darling Estrella loves pets and belly rubs! Anything that gets her close to her human. She enjoys going for walks and does a little happy dance when she sees her leash.
- Training: This playful gal has good manners and has picked up quickly on basic commands like sit, lay down, and go potty. She is still working on her housetraining and being a little more polite on her walks. She gets quite rowdy when seeing new people and other dogs when out and about so her social skills are a work in progress.
- Medical: Estrella is a healthy pooch and just requires her monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
- Other Animals: Estrella prefers her humans to canine companions, so a home without other dogs would be ideal. A home with another dog that has developed social skills would be ok too. She has not been introduced to any cats.
- Children: Estrella interacts well with children of all ages and gives herself a break from them when needed. A home with kiddos would be just fine!
- Home: A single-family home or dog-friendly apartment living would be perfect for adorable Estrella. She will require an active family that can keep up with her young puppy energy, as well as continue to socialize her.
- Grooming: As a short-haired pup, Estrella will not require frequent trips to the groomer. She will need regular baths and nail trims, like any other dog.
- Overall: Estrella is a pro belly rub recipient who is sure to steal your heart! She is ready to find the perfect family who is always up for a game of fetch.
Are you the one for Estrella? Visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, and heartworm negative.

Foster a Dog
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
- Select A Pet
- Fill out the questionnaire
- We’ll call you to help find the right match for your family.
