Enzo
Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrie, Maltese,Meet Enzo! This 2-and-a-half-year-old Yorkie-Maltese blend weighs 10 lbs. Enzo is sure to make a wonderful snuggle companion for a loving family with a quiet home.
- General Behavior: Enzo is a sweet and affectionate boy who loves to please. Once comfortable in his environment, he is sure to grab your attention by picking up the nearest squeaky toy and tossing it around in the air – it’s sure to put a smile on your face. He is laid-back and content, whether relaxing by your side on the couch, bed, or chair, or simply following you around as your little shadow.
- Likes & Dislikes: Adorable Enzo loves to cuddle and give kisses! He is at his happiest when he is with his family. He enjoys playing with his tennis ball, especially when his humans join in on the fun too.
- Training: Enzo is a perfect gentleman with good basic manners. He does well with his housetraining when let out frequently. He is easily startled by unexpected touches and loud noises. He needs a gentle touch to show him that he is safe. He is great on car rides and does well on his leashed walks around the neighborhood.
- Medical: Enzo is a healthy boy and will just require his monthly heartworm and flea preventative, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Enzo interacts well with other dogs and would enjoy having another in his forever home to keep him company. He has not yet been introduced to any cats.
- Children: Enzo hasn’t yet met any kiddos but we think he would do just fine with older kids (10+) that are able to go slow with him and respect his boundaries.
- Home: A single-family home or dog-friendly apartment living would be just fine for Enzo! He will require a calm and quiet home with a family that will ensure he receives the gentleness and snuggles he deserves.
- Grooming: As a Yorkie blend, Enzo will require a trip to the groomer every 8 weeks or so to keep his coat clean and trimmed. The cost of grooming for a pooch of his breed and size is approximately $65+. Any potential families should be aware of this recurring expense.
- Overall: Enzo is an absolute gem who will fit right into a dog-loving family that keeps squeaky toys stocked, and who is always up for a quick stroll.
Are you the one for Enzo? 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. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and he's neutered. His adoption donation is $450.

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. Her adoption donation is $400
show lessFlash
Chihuahua, Dachshund,*Please note - Flash needs a foster home that lives in central Florida and is willing to pick him up from our vet in Chuluota. Of course, if you fall in love with him, you can adopt him. But we do not know anything about him since he has not been in a foster home so he will need someone patient and willing to give him some time to settle in.
Flash - Doxie-Chi blend boy, 8 months old and 8 lbs. He was adopted and then quickly returned because he did not like men with beards. The shelter tested him with men with beards, and he was fine! He is good with other dogs, women, and men. From our vet "Cool dog, very easy to handle". He especially liked the vet and gave him extra kisses. No follow-up visits are needed for him.

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.
