Meet our beautiful dogs. Thank you for your interest in adopting!
Molly
Chihuahua, ,***Bonded –Molly & Penny are bonded and must be adopted together.***
Meet Molly and Penny! Hi, we’re Molly and Penny, a bonded pair of Chihuahuas with big personalities and a lot of love to give! Don’t let our age fool you – we are full of energy and charisma. We’re affectionate, silly, resilient, and very loyal once we acclimate to our new environment.
Molly: I’m a 13-year-old Chihuahua girl and weighing 8.6 pounds. I love giving kisses to my special person and any spot close to them is my favorite place in the world. I like food and though I love my bestie, Penny, it’s usually a good idea for us to eat separately so we’re not tempted to share.
Penny: I’m a 13-year-old Chihuahua girl weighing 7.2 pounds. I love curling up in the coziest spot I can find near my person. I also love food so I might need some tricks to slow me down.
Favorite Things: Molly and Penny are very affectionate and bond closely with their special person as their trust builds. They do best in a calm environment with limited foot traffic, but they can handle being home alone for a few hours, as long as they have each other! They can take or leave toys, much preferring to hang out with each other and their person. They do love their food and are very food-motivated, which helps with training. They also love neighborhood walks and relaxing on the couch with their humans in the evening.
Training & Manners: Molly and Penny are working on housetraining and do best when let out on a regular schedule. They'll need continued coaching and patience with house manners but already do well with leash walking. They enjoy their walks and the exercise helps them settle. They are fine on car rides and sleep soundly in the people bed at night in their foster home.
Health & Care: This pair are both up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed, and recently had dental cleanings. They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Regular baths and nail trims will keep them looking and feeling their best.
Other Animals: Molly and Penny have experience with other small, laid-back dogs. They have not been tested with cats, but their foster mom suspects they would not be a good fit.
Children: These two sweethearts would do best in an adult-only home as the high energy that children generally bring unsettles them. Molly in particular is uncomfortable when someone moves too quickly into her personal space.
Ideal Home: This pair isn’t picky and could do fine in an apartment, condo, townhouse or single home. They can be left alone in the home in a secure space for a few hours without issues.
Overall: If you have a heart and home big enough for two sweet Chihuahuas who make wonderful companions for their people and each other, Molly and Penny 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.

Shepherds (All Types), ,Hi, I’m Ohio, a handsome 10-year-old Shepherd blend boy weighing in at 55 pounds of pure sweetness. With my good manners, love of cuddles and relaxed style, I’m going for the gold!
Favorite Things: Ohio loves strolls around the neighborhood and breezy car rides. But don’t worry, this sweet boy is just as happy lounging like a pro on the couch. Independence is his vibe, but when it comes to cuddles, he is truly a gold medalist! Toys? Meh. He’d rather hang out with you and soak up all the love.
Training & Manners: Ohio is house trained when let out regularly. His leash skills are impressive and he handles car rides like a champ. This fine gentleman brings his winning house manners and laid back approach to life and loves curling up on the people bed at night for sweet dreams and snuggles.
Health & Care: Ohio is neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and recently had a dental cleaning. He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. No fancy salon visits required - a bath, a brush, and a nail trim and he’s ready for his close-up.
Other Animals: Ohio has experience with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, and gets high marks for cooperation and boundaries.
Children: His puppy days are in the past so he prefers a home with adults - children are a bit too much energy for him at this point in his life.
Ideal Home: Ohio is flexible—he will happily call an apartment, townhome, condo, or single family house his castle. If you need to step out for a few hours, he’ll hold down the fort until you return.
Overall: If you’re looking for an independent, affectionate pooch to bring the love, Ohio might be the one for you. If you think he might be, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $275.

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
