Freckles
Chihuahua, Pug,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.
show lessGizmo
Beagle, Bichon Frise,Meet Gizmo! This Beagle – Bichon Frisé blend weighs 31 lbs and is 10 years old. Gizmo is one of the sweetest dogs his foster has ever met.
- General Behavior: Gizmo is pretty chill and just loves to hang out with his person. So far he loves everyone he meets. He LOVES when you hold his paw! He enjoys cuddling on his person’s lap and just being petted. He has spurts of energy for a few minutes and so far has only grabbed a couple of toys and a squishy ball to play with. He will throw a soft toy or ball up in the air, try to catch it, and then run around for a bit.
- Likes & Dislikes: Gizmo loves to sit outside, just watching anything that's going on. He is also a total foodie! He has eaten green beans, carrots, and strawberries.
- Training: Gizmo is a real gent! He is housetrained if let out regularly. He knows the command “sit." He walks well on a leash and loves to go for walks. He tolerates the car. He sleeps in a dog bed at night next to his foster’s bed. He likes to be close to his person.
- Medical: Gizmo takes apoquel for allergies (about $80 for 30 tablets), but other than that, he is a healthy boy who just needs his monthly flea and heartworm medications.
- Other Animals: Gizmo does well with other small dogs. He has a 8 lb foster brother and they get along great. His foster reckons that he likes having another pup around. He has not been observed around cats, but his foster thinks he’d be OK with them.
- Children: Gizmo has not been observed extensively around children. However, he has a fan club in the kids who wait for the school bus and who come over to pet him.
- Home: Gizmo does have the deep beagle bark. He doesn’t bark as long as he can get to his people, but given the power of his bark, he would do best be in a single family home.
- Grooming: Gizmo will need regular brushing plus professional grooming about every 6-8 weeks. Luckily, he loves all the attention that comes with having his hair brushed!
- Overall: The person who adopts Gizmo is getting an outstanding dog!
Is Gizmo the smart, snuggly, loving guy you’ve been looking for? 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, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered, and he has just had his teeth cleaned. His adoption donation is $250.
show lessGoldy
Labrador Retriever, ,Meet Goldy! This Dudley Labrador is 6 years old and weighs 74 lbs. Goldy is a champion cuddler and and could win a medal when it comes to loving his people.
- General Behavior: Goldy is a large puppy at heart. He is a happy, loving guy who gets nervous at times. He has improved tremendously since being with us but he still has anxious behavior.
- Likes & Dislikes: Goldy loves balls and chew toys, but best of all, he loves his people and wants to be near them all the time.
- Training: Goldy is a smart cookie! He is housetrained if let out regularly. He is a fine passenger in the car, although he can be a little nervous. He can walk on a leash, but is strong and does still occasionally pull at the leash. Goldy still thinks counter-surfing (and laundry-cupboard raiding) is a game, but you can use a treat or something else he loves to get him to release whatever he shouldn’t have.
- Medical: Goldy is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm medications, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Goldy is good with other playful dogs. He’s even good with cats!
- Children: Although gentle Goldy adores the boys in his foster home-- he sleeps in bed with them or downstairs on the couch-- he would do better in a home that is very calm without a lot of hustle and bustle. He may also be too strong for smaller children, so he needs a home with older children (ages 8+) or no children.
- Home: Goldy needs a single-family home with a securely fenced yard and at least one person who is around most of the time to help him feel safe. A fenced yard is a must for him. He has a lot of energy and loves to run.
- Grooming: As a Dudley Labrador, Goldy will shed, so he will need regular brushing and baths.
- Overall: Goldy will make a wonderful companion for an active family who can give him the attention and calm environment he needs so much.
Has Goldy won your heart? 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, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered, and he has just had his teeth cleaned. The adoption donation for Goldy has been reduced thanks to a generous grant from Kia and the Petfinder Foundation, and is $300.

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
