Foxy
Chihuahua, ,***Bonded –Foxy & Hunter are bonded and must be adopted together.***
Meet Foxy and Hunter – Hi, we’re Foxy and Hunter! We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted. We’re both shy at first but playful and affectionate once we warm up. We are looking for a home where Chihuahuas are understood and there’s love enough for two of them!
Foxy – I’m an 8-year-old Chihuahua girl who weighs 5.9 lbs. While I’m a little shy at first, it doesn’t take me long to warm up and turn on the lovin’! I can take or leave toys but I’m smart, curious and enjoy getting to know my people and my home. I do get excited when strangers come by, and that includes any and all cats.
Hunter – I’m a 10-year-old Chihuahua boy who weighs 3.6 lbs. I love toys and can’t get enough of them. I also love adventures especially if they involve a car ride. I’m not crazy about meeting new people but once I find my special person I want to be close to them as much as possible.
Favorite Things: This pair enjoys time at home with Foxy being the more active one while Hunter quietly plays with his toys (though he’s not too keen on sharing). They both love to be close to their humans and prefer to have someone home more often than not.
Training & Manners: Foxy and Hunter are house trained when let out frequently. They'll need more training on leash walking and basic commands but they're both responsive and food motivated. Both sleep in the people bed at night in their foster home.
Health & Care: Foxy and Hunter are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings. They will both need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives and Hunter will need to continue pain medications for arthritis at a cost of about $20/month. Neither need professional grooming, just regular baths and nail trims.
Other Animals: Foxy and Hunter have experience with other small dogs but need slow introductions. Neither are a good fit with cats.
Children: These two sweethearts will do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 8+).
Ideal Home: A single-family home would be ideal for this pair because Foxy will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors. They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space.
Overall: If you’re looking for a couple of loving companions, Foxy and Hunter might be the ones for you. If you think they might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation for the pair is $300.

show lessLeah
Chihuahua, ,Hi, I’m Leah, a 7-year-old Chihuahua who loves to be loved! At 9 pounds, I’m easy to find space for - both in your home and in your heart. My vision is limited thanks to cataracts but once I get the lay of the land, I can navigate just fine. I’m a little shy at first but it doesn’t take long for me to melt into love and kindness when I feel it!
Favorite Things: Leah loves kisses and gentle pets, and scooching under the covers in her dog bed. Snuggling with her blanket is just one of her favorite things! She can take or leave toys and while she’s curious about other dogs, she doesn’t interact much.
Training & Manners: Leah is housetrained in her foster home where she is let out on a regular schedule. She will even let you know when she needs to go out. She has lovely house manners but will need help acclimating to leash walks and car rides. She sleeps soundly in her dog bed at night.
Health & Care: Leah is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed, and recently had a dental cleaning. She’ll just need her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any pup. Regular baths and nail trims will keep this gentle lady looking and feeling her best.
Other Animals: Leah has experience with other small dogs and pretty much ignores them. She has not been tested with cats, but her foster mom suspects she would do fine.
Children: This sweet girl has not had experience with children in her foster home.
Ideal Home: Leah isn’t picky and would do fine in an apartment, condo, townhouse or single home. She can be left alone in the home for a few hours without issues.
Overall: If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet Chihuahua who is ready to offer gentle companionship, Leah might be the one for you. If you think she might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, her foster family will reach out with more information. The adoption donation is $300.

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.
