Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Meet Carla! This 3-year-old French bulldog weighs 25 lbs. Carla is a well-behaved little lady who is looking for a loving home to grace with her presence.

• General Behavior: Carla is a very lovable sweet lady who is so close to being perfect.  But....the one issue that she is working on is leash walking and greeting new dogs on her walks.  Her new family will have to continue working on this with her.  She is getting much better in her foster home so we are sure that she will have this mastered in no time.  
• Likes & Dislikes: Carla loves pats, particularly scritches on her rear end. 
• Training:  Carla is a good girl! She is house trained if let out regularly. She will sit and watch you eat but does not beg for human food. She sleeps in a dog bed at night, is well-behaved in the car, and generally has good basic manners.
• Medical: Carla needs eye drops for an autoimmune affecting her eyes (granulomatous episcleritis). Her ophthalmologist does not feel she will experience any additional problems with her eyes as long as she continues getting her drops. The cost is approximately $20/month.
• Other Animals: Carla would do well in a home with other small dogs only. She is not a fan of felines or larger dogs.  
• Children: Carla would do best in a home without children because she is fearful of them. 
• Home: She would do best in a home where she can have a fully fenced in yard to run around in.  She is still working on leash walking but it may take some more patience and time with her new forever family.  
• Grooming: Carla is short haired and does not require grooming other than baths and occasional nail clippings. Luckily, she is good at taking baths!
• Overall: Chill Carla will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an easy-going best friend!

Are snoozing and snacking among your interests? Do you give the best pats? Then Carla thinks you might be her new best friend! 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. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed.  Her adoption donation is $400.

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.…An 11-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 and now he's reactive too, 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. For now, he needs time to decompress and relax in a foster home or an adoptive home before he's introduced to other dogs and when that time comes, it must be done slowly and carefully. 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.  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.
