Cooper
Cattle Dog, ,Hi, I’m Cooper! I’m a one-year-old, 42-lb cattle dog blend. I’m curious, cuddly, clever, and quirky. There’s just one thing I’m missing: a forever family who will love me forever.
General Behavior: Cooper is an amazing, loving dog that will bring joy to your life. He is young and energetic and needs plenty of exercise, and he is also a very loving dog who will snuggle all day and loves scratches and belly rubs.
Likes & Dislikes: Cooper LOVES his people and HATES to be left alone. He likes toys, too, but he tends to eat them. Balls are his favorite and he will chase them and bring them back to you… most of the time.
Training: Cooper is a smart cookie! He is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks well on a leash (although he could use a bit of practice), he is well-behaved on car rides, and he has even learned some commands, like “sit” and “stay”. He is food motivated, so his future family should be able to continue his training.
Medical: Cooper is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives.
Other Animals: Cooper is good with other dogs of all sizes. He’s even good with cats!
Children: Although Cooper mostly has good manners, he still gets excited and jumps on people, so he’d do best in a home with teens and older only.
Home: This boy can leap and bound that puts Superman to shame: therefore, he needs a house with a yard and at least a six-foot-high fence is a must. Cooper also needs a home where someone is around most of the time. If he is left alone, he must be left in a secure location to keep him out of trouble: he gets anxious and destructive when left alone.
Grooming: Cooper does not require much elaborate grooming, apart from brushing. Luckily, he loves being brushed!
Overall: Cooper will make a wonderful companion for someone who will take him on adventures, give him lots of belly rubs, and love him forever.
Cooper is ready to “fly the coop” and meet his forever family: could that be you? If so, 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 $400.

Terriers (Medium), ,Hi, my name is Coquito! I’m a six-year-old female terrier blend and I weigh 12 pounds. I am smart and curious and always ready for a cuddle. I’m looking for a loving family that will help me feel safe and is ready to teach me new things.
General Behavior: Coquito is a sweet pup who is happiest when she is with her people. She has some anxiety separation when away from them and also when meeting new people. But when her humans return home, Coquito is so excited to see them, she bounces up and down on her two hind legs.
Likes & Dislikes: Coquito enjoys naps in soft places and being close to her humans. She is developing an appreciation for toys and will run and play with soft toys more each day. She is also interested in chewing small Nylabones. She loves the outdoors but does not like car rides.
Training: Coquito is learning basic manners and walks well on a leash. She’s food-motivated which makes training a breeze. She is house-trained in her foster home and will continue to do well if let out on a regular basis.
Medical: Coquito will need her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventive medicine.
Other Animals: Coquito will be happiest as an only dog as she has anxiety around other dogs as well as cats. In her foster home, she does well on leash walks at quiet times in the neighborhood. Avoiding other dogs is best for Coquito to remain calm and for her and her human to enjoy their walks together.
Children: Given her small size, Coquito needs a home with older children.
Home: Coquito requires a single-family home where she has less exposure to people outside her own family. She can be left alone in the home for several hours in a secure place.
Grooming: This pretty little girl will just need regular baths and brushing to help her look and feel her best.
Overall: Coquito is a sweet and affectionate pup who is easy going and happy in an environment that provides security and a routine. She will need a patient family to continue her training and give lots of cuddles. In return, she will give back buckets of love, enthusiasm, and loyalty!
Are you the one for Coquito? 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. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption donation is $350.
show lessDan
Poodles (All Types), ,***Local adoption only: Dan needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to his follow-up puppy vetting appointments with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments have already been scheduled and their cost is covered in the adoption donation.***
Hi, I’m Dan! I'm a 9-week-old Labradoodle blend. I'm a growing puppy and we don't know how big I'll grow, but my mother is a 52 lb Standard Poodle. I'm looking for my new FURever home where I can play, be loved and love you in return.
General Behavior: Dan is a playful member of a happy litter. He has all the fun and energy of a puppy!
Likes & Dislikes: As a young puppy, Dan is still exploring the big wide world, but he already loves toys: the more, the merrier! He also loves cuddles and kisses and is a gentle soul.
Training: As a relatively young pup, Dan still has a lot to learn. He needs more practice with housetraining, walking on a leash, and basic manners, but he already loves car rides and sleeps in a dog bed at night.
Medical: Dan is a healthy boy! He still needs his final puppy vetting appointments. These have already been scheduled with PPR’s vetting partner, and his adopters must commit to taking him to these appointments. Their cost is covered in his adoption donation.
Other Animals: Dan is good with other dogs of all sizes. He's even good with cats!
Children: Dan is good with children.
Home: Dan would do well whether he's downtown or down on the farm. He would do okay in an apartment, condo, or single family. He just needs someone who is around more often than not in the early months to help with his training. And, lots of play and exercise!
Grooming: So far, Dan's black/chocolate coat is smooth/flat, but given that his mother is a Standard Poodle/Labradoodle, he may need regular brushing and professional grooming.
Overall: Dan will make a wonderful companion for a family who can raise him, train him, and love him forever.
Has Dan danced into your heart? Do you live in the Central Florida region? Then 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 and heartworm negative. His adoption donation is $425.

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.
