Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi . . . My name is Daisy and I am a sweet senior gal who is 10 years old.  I’m a tiny Maltese/Poodle blend girl weighing just 7 lbs. I am vision impaired, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring .  I truly appreciate my freedom, affection and care and would love to be the princess in my forever home.

Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention.  Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite things. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night).

Training & Manners:  Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently.  Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking.  She has good basic manners and is highly food motivated.  She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet.

Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm.  She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.

Other Animals:  Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats. 

Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens.   

Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home.  Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment).  A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person.

Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love and attention.

Could Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $200.

Hi there — my name is Desmond. I’m a 10‑year‑old senior Chihuahua gentleman, weighing in at a perfect 12 lbs. I’m quirky, snuggly, and proudly the definition of a Velcro dog. I bond deeply with my person, and I especially adore ladies. I can live with a gentle, caring man in my forever home, but let’s be honest… he’ll be the “spare human”, as my heart will likely belong to mama. I really hate being alone, so a home with another small, chill dog AND my human(s) being around most of the time would make me happiest.

Favorite Things: Desmond’s favorite things in life include snuggling on your lap, giving sweet doggie kisses, and making silly Chihuahua faces. He is a self‑proclaimed couch potato, but your lap is his absolute favorite place in the world. He loves spending time with other small, calm dogs, burrowing into blankets, going for walks, exploring outside, and cuddling with his foster mom. And above all else, he has a deep and abiding love for chicken.

Training & Manners:  In his foster home, Desmond is housetrained with consistent and frequent potty breaks. He walks nicely on a leash, tolerates a ride in the car, and has good basic manners. He’s a smart little guy who knows lots of words — especially “hungry” and “outside.” He understands what you’re asking of him, though he occasionally practices selective listening. Overall, he’s a good listener and eager to please.  He is anxious about being alone and is very vocal when he finds himself in that situation. 

Health and Care: Desmond is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and recently had a dental cleaning. He has a thick undercoat and appreciates regular brushing, which he sits nicely for. Routine nail trims and baths will help him look and feel his best.

Other Animals:  He has experience living with small dogs and cats and would thrive in a home with another calm, laid‑back dog to snuggle and play with. Overly excited dogs aren’t really his vibe.

Children: Desmond hasn’t been observed around children, and due to his small size and senior status, he would do best in a home with respectful teenagers.

Ideal Home: Desmond will need a single‑family house because he can be quite vocal  when he is left alone.  A fenced yard would be wonderful but isn’t required since he walks well on a leash. He’s still learning about stairs and isn’t completely comfortable with them yet, but he’s small enough to be carried when needed. He would love a home where someone is around most of the time, and his dream setup would include another small, calm dog for companionship. At night, Desmond insists on sleeping in the "people bed", preferably snuggled right up against his new mama — either on top of her or tucked into the crook of her knees.

Overall: If you’re looking for a loving, loyal senior companion who will shower you with affection, Desmond might be your perfect match. To meet him, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $225.

Hi, I’m Eddie! I’m a 2‑year‑old, 15‑lb Chihuahua blend, equal parts curious adventurer and loyal sidekick. I like being around my humans; on the couch, in the yard or simply sharing the same space. I’m clever, observant and always ready to join in on whatever the day brings.

Favorite Things: Eddie loves spending time with his humans. He likes exploring outside, checking out new scents and being part of the daily routine. Toys? Meh. Companionship? Absolutely. He’s affectionate, gentle and wonderfully social.

Training & Manners: Eddie walks nicely on a leash, has good basic manners and sleeps happily in the people bed. He comes when called and settles beautifully once he knows the routine. He can be left alone for several hours and does well with a predictable schedule.

Health & Care: Eddie is microchipped, neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Like all dogs, he’ll need monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. Grooming is simple: regular baths and nail trims.

Other Animals: Eddie does well with calm dogs and enjoys their company. He hasn’t met cats yet but his foster thinks he’d likely be fine. He has a playful interest in birds and small critters, though he’s easily redirected.

Children: This gentle, patient boy does well with children of all ages.

Ideal Home: Eddie does best with people who are home often and appreciates having a relaxed dog around. Since he has a little wanderlust, he’ll need a single‑family home with a securely fenced yard.

Overall: Eddie has blossomed into a cheerful, loving companion who fits right into family life. He’s sweet, social and ready for his forever home. If he sounds like your perfect match, head to www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply. His adoption donation is $425.
