Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Meet Freckles . . . A 2-year-old Pug/Chihuahua blend that weighs 18 lbs. of pure love. In fact, she loves everyone she meets!

• General Behavior: Freckles is an energetic and happy girl who loves to love (and be loved in return).
• Likes & Dislikes: Freckles is a big fan of the outdoors and loves to be outside running and playing.  She scores high marks in the “zoomies” category and is sure to offer loads of laughs. She also loves toys and a good old-fashioned belly rub.
• Training: Freckles is housetrained, if let out on a regular schedule. She walks well on a leash.  She is still working on basic manners, but training should be easy breezy since Freckles is very food and treat motivated.
• Medical: Freckles is a healthy girl and will just require her monthly heartworm and flea prevention.
• Other Animals: Freckles gets along well with other playful dogs of any size so a house with a buddy would be great.  She could also be an only dog as long as she gets plenty of outdoor playtime and exercise.  She should do fine with cats as well.
• Children: Freckles should do well with children of any age, as long as they are respectful.
• Home: Freckles likes to follow you around, so you can expect to have a shadow at times. We know she would love a single-family home with a fenced yard for playtime.  She would also be suitable for a condo or apartment, as long as she has plenty of walks throughout her day. After a day of play, she likes to dream overnight in her dog bed.
• Grooming: Freckles is a low-maintenance gal who will just need regular brushing and nails trimmed.
• Overall: Sweet, loving, easy-going, entertaining and energetic.  What more could you ask for?

Are you the one for Freckles?  Please 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 potential match.  Freckles is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and just had a dental cleaning.  The adoption donation for Freckles has been reduced thanks to a generous grant from Kia and the Petfinder Foundation, and is $300.

Meet Johnny Cash.…A 10-month-old lovable, expert snuggler, terrier blend puppy weighing 35 lbs. This smart pup adores people and is ready for his FURever home! AND....his adoption donation has been sponsored by an anonymous donor that wants to help set this sweet guy up for success!! 

 ● General Behavior: Johnny Cash is an energetic puppy who is an affectionate and playful “wiggle-butt”.  He is a social butterfly and loves to be around people.  He will offer kisses and truly wants to be your everything!
● Likes & Dislikes: Johnny Cash loves his toys and rates “couch cuddling” high on his list. He loves taking short walks to do "his business" and meeting new people and dogs. This velcro pup wants to be with his person, so a patient an understanding adopter will need to continue working with him so he can gain confidence.  
● Training: He is doing great with his housetraining and will catch on quickly in a new home and new schedule. He is still a puppy who is learning basic manners and could use more practice with leash walking. He is food-motivated which lends itself to easier positive reinforcement training.
● Medical: Johnny Cash takes daily joint supplements (as many large pups should). Other than that, he will simply require his monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog.
● Other Animals: He is still a puppy and he’s still learning how to introduce himself like a gentleman to other dogs. Johnny Cash loved the company of other playful, friendly dogs, but he had a bad experience with a pooch that wasn't a fan of his energy and the other dog attacked him. Since this event, he's been cautious of other dogs, so to err on the side of caution and comfort, we feel it's best that he's the only pooch in the home, at least for now. He needs to gain confidence and with slow, positive introductions in the future, hopefully he'll get comfortable and accept a playful friend again one day. He has not been introduced to cats, but due to his energy, we do not feel a home with cats would be ideal.
● Children: A home with no small children would be best for him.  Only because at times his excitment gets the best of him and we wouldn't want a young child to get knocked over during a case of the zoomies.  
● Home:  His ideal home is one where his person is home more often than not. He does cry when initially left alone, so he would require a single-family home. He sleeps well at night, likely dreaming about playing, snuggling and watching TV with you. He also relaxes in style in his foster home with his extensive pajama collection. 
● Grooming:  With his short hair, he is a low-maintenance fella and will just require routine baths and nail trims.
● Overall: If you are looking for a squishable, lovable puppy that truly wants to be YOUR everything, Johnny Cash is the one for you. Once you meet this fella, you may find it hard to resist him.

Meet Kali! This 7-year-old mini Australian Shepherd weighs approximately  20 lbs, and is ready to find a loving adopter who's ready to make her a new bff. Kali needs to be the only dog in the home. If interested, get ready for butt wiggles and kisses! 

• General Behavior: Kaliis a sweet Aussie who needs time to settle in to a new home. She is very cautious and shy at first, but once she realizes she’s okay, she loves to give kisses and wiggle her tiny tail whenever she sees you! Kali is a loving dog to her female human companion but she is initially wary of men (she will warm up to them eventually). Kali is a really wonderful pup who will thrive from patience and one-on-one time with her person/persons.
• Likes & Dislikes:Kali is an active gal who loves to run in the back yard and to roll in the grass - she requires a secure fenced yard for her time outdoors, where she loves to bask and play. Kali enjoys the pool, but she is new to swimming and would need constant supervision near pool-time, of course. Kali also loves treats and is given soft food as a treat - it's her favorite. Kali would prefer a female-only household, since she gives her trust much easier to women, any males visiting the home need to understand she may never be ready to approach them or be pet by them. She should not be forced to interact with men unless she initates contact. She doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body and goes to her safe space when feeling uncertain. With time, patience, kindess, space and love, she will warm up to men, but she is most comfortable with women in her circle.
• Training: Kali is housetrained when on a regular schedule and she is a very quiet girl who generally has good basic manners. She will walk on a leash but is terrified of anyone/dog/noise when out of the security of her fenced yard. She tolerates car rides. She is learning the wonder of toys, so be ready with ropes and plushies! She is very food motivated, so treats are always a win in her book.
• Medical: Kali is a healthy girl! She just needs her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives.
• Other Animals: Kali must be in a home where she is the only dog. She has lived with another dog in foster care but she is "dog selective" and sometimes gets jealous of another dog in the home getting close to her person, so being an only pet would be ideal. No felines for this girl, as she likes to chase them.
• Children: Kali needs a home without children and a lot of commotion. She is nervous with sudden movements or loud, unfamiliar noises and will hide if she's feeling overwhelmed. A quiet home with a laid-back lifestyle is what Kali is looking for and hoping to find. Maybe a retiree that's looking for a quiet, loving companion - Kali is your girl!
• Home: Kali's ideal home is a single family dwelling with a securely fenced yard. Strange noises scare her, so she needs space of her own without strangers or other animals intruding and startling her. She loves outdoor time to run, explore, sniff the fresh air and play. 
• Grooming: Kali will need regular grooming to maintain her beautiful Aussie coat, along with regular baths and nail cuts. She is ok with being gently picked up and she stays on the bathroom counter for grooming like a lady. Grooming for Kali should be considered in any new family's ongoing budget to make sure she stays on top of her spa days, keeping her looking and feeling good.
• Overall: Kali truly has so much love to give; she needs someone loving, patient and kind who will understand that time is the key to her precious heart. 

Are you ready for someone who would love you with her whole heart? Kali would love to love you! To find the application to adopt, visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, had her teeth cleaned and she's spayed. The adoption donation for Kali has been reduced thanks to a generous grant from Kia and the Petfinder Foundation, and is $250.
