Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I’m Rufus, a sweet and playful Beagle/Basset Hound blend boy.  I’m two years old, weigh 30 pounds and have a black, white and tan coat.  I’m looking for a loving, patient family who is willing to help me learn more about life as a dog!

General Behavior: Rufus is an affectionate and adventurous boy who is happily learning about life with his loving foster family. 

Likes & Dislikes: Rufus loves toys – the more the better!  He also enjoys the company of his humans, especially when they are willing to give a good belly rub.

Training: This sweet boy will need a patient family who will continue his training.  He’ll need a consistent schedule for house training, and he is still learning basic manners and leash walking.  He is food- and love-motivated, which will go a long way with training.

Medical: Rufus will need heartworm and flea/tick preventive medicines like any pup.

Other Animals: Rufus is experienced with calm, laid-back dogs and enjoys their company.  He does not have experience with cats, but his foster mom thinks he would be fine with them. 

Children: Rufus is great with kids of all ages!

Home: Rufus can find his way under fence panels and will require a single-family home with a securely fenced yard. 

Grooming: As a short-haired pup, this cutie will just need to have regular baths and nail trimming.

Overall: If you are looking for a playful and curious companion, Rufus may be the one for you!

Are you the one for Rufus?  Please visit our website 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. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption donation is $375.

Meet Sunshine! This sweet, silly Labrador blend is 4 years old and weighs 45 lbs. This playful pup will brighten your day with kisses, belly rubs, and love forever.

• General Behavior: Sunshine is a sweet, loving, playful, and energetic pooch. She gives endless kisses and adores belly rubs. 
• Likes & Dislikes: Sunshine loves playing, romping around in the yard, and snuggling with her humans.
• Training: Silly Sunshine has good basic manners and is housetrained. She enjoys napping in her designated cozy area and rides well in the car. She is still working on her leash-walking skills and sharing her toys with other pups.
• Medical: This big-hearted gal needs the pressure points on her paws cleaned from time to time, and she can't bend her "wrists" on one leg after an surgery to correct an old injury. But other than that, she just needs her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
• Other Animals: Sunshine is good with other dogs of all sizes (although she might be a bit too playful for some small dogs). She can be a bit shy at first, but quickly warms up to other furry friends. She even gets along with cats.
• Children: Sunshine has not been observed around children yet, but she will probably need a home without small children as she is a very active gal who could knock them over. Older kids (10+) are okay.
• Home: A single-family home with a securely fenced yard and an active family would be perfect for Miss Sunshine! As long as she gets the exercise and attention she needs, she is sure to thrive!
• Grooming: Sunshine does not require much grooming apart from the occasional bath and nail trim when needed.
• Overall: Sunshine will be a wonderful companion for someone who is active and ready for lots of adventures and cuddles.

Could you use some Sunshine on a cloudy day? Could Sunshine be your girl? 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 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 $275.

Meet Velcro! This 1.5-year-old weighs 65 lbs. This adventurous, athletic, affectionate guy is quite the social butterfly. He’ll greet you every day with an enthusiastic “wiggle butt” and a goofy grin.

• General Behavior: Velcro would love to be with his human all day but he will also settle well in his bed with his Kong Wubba. He loves going for walks but can be a little nervous about new loud noises, but with encouragement he finds confidence to succeed.  
• Likes & Dislikes: Velcro is an energetic guy who loves toys—the more, the merrier!
• Training: Velcro is a smart cookie. He is housetrained, walks well on the leash, is a good passenger in the car, and generally has good basic manners.
• Medical: Velcro is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
• Other Animals: Velcro has a lot of energy and would love to play with other dogs who can match his energy in a neutral manner. He has not been observed around cats, but his caretakers don’t think that they would get along.
• Children: Velcro hasn’t been observed around children yet.
• Home: This easy-going guy would be happy in an apartment, condo, or single-family home: anywhere he can park his toys and snuggle up for some pats.
• Grooming: As a short-haired dog, Velcro doesn’t have any elaborate grooming needs.
• Overall: An active family is going to be very lucky to get this adventurous, resilient, quiet, curious, silly guy to share your lives?
