Daisy
Maltese, Poodles (All Types),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 8 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.

Harley
Mixed Breed, ,Hi! I’m Harley, I'm almost one and a half years old, 45‑lb mixed‑breed girl with a whole lot of heart and an even bigger wiggle. My name might make you think of a motorcycle and honestly, I do have a little “rev” in my step when I’m excited but I’m also a snuggly sweetheart who loves being close to my people. I’m currently looking for a foster home or a forever family who’s ready for a joyful companion like me.
Favorite Things: Harley is an enthusiastic, social girl who loves being part of her family’s daily rhythm. She enjoys outdoor time, exploring new scents and relaxing near her people once she’s had her fun. Toys are optional in her world; she’s just as happy soaking up affection or following her humans around.
Training and Manners: Harley is house trained when let out regularly and has a nice foundation of basic manners. She sleeps comfortably in her secure area at night and handles car rides without fuss. She’s still polishing her leash skills but her food‑motivated, clever nature makes her eager to learn. Harley is confident and expressive, especially when she prefers navigating situations on her own rather than being picked up.
Health and Care: Harley is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She’ll need monthly heart worm and flea/tick prevention, like all other dogs. Harley does have a skin issue that is currently being managed with medicated baths twice a week. She benefits from occasional nail trims to keep her comfortable.
Other Animals: Harley has experience with calm, laid‑back dogs but generally prefers to keep to herself around most others. She hasn’t been tested with cats and would likely be most comfortable in a home without them.
Children: Harley has not lived with children, but her friendly, confident nature suggests she may do well with respectful kids who understand how to interact gently with a young dog.
Ideal Home: Harley can be left alone for several hours and relaxes in a secure area when her family is out. She’d be right at home in an apartment, townhome, or condo as long as she gets regular walks and a chance to explore. A family who appreciates her playful spirit and affectionate heart will find her a wonderful addition.
Overall: Harley is a bright, loving young dog who brings warmth and cheerful energy to every day. True to her name, she’s a little “Harley” with plenty of heart, always ready to roll into your life with her happy shimmy. She’s hoping to find a foster or forever home where she can share all that sweetness.
If you think Harley could be the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $400.
show lessJeff
Poodle (Standard), ,Hi, I'm Jeff! Five years old, 68 pounds, and every bit of it devoted to my people. I'm a Standard Poodle with an energetic playful streak, a soft spot for kisses, and a toy habit I'm not even a little sorry about. I am currently looking for a foster home or a forever family! If you're looking for a dog who's genuinely excited about you, I'm your guy, and I am ready to be someone's whole heart.
Favorite Things: Jeff is a cheese enthusiast who lives for his favorite humans. He's goofy, clever, and totally tuned into the people around him, always ready to make you laugh. He LOVES toys and is never without one, whether he's proudly carrying it around or using it as an invitation for a play session. Jeff's the kind of dog who wants to be in on everything you're doing, and desperately wants to have his person.
Training & Manners: Jeff is house‑trained, crate trained, and is fine in a secured area. He’s been working on his leash skills and polishing basic manners and obedience. He’s a smart, eager learner and his food‑motivation makes training fun. He also rides calmly in the car. His adoption includes free training and access to professional trainers to support his continued progress.
Health & Care: Jeff recently completed his last heartworm treatment, the finish line is in sight! For just a few more weeks he'll need calm routines and short leash walks while he wraps up his recovery, but once he gets the all-clear, this boy is ready to stretch his legs. Long walks are absolutely his thing, and he can't wait to explore the world with his person by his side. Jeff is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations, and going forward he'll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. Regular brushing and professional grooming will keep his gorgeous poodle coat looking and feeling its best.
Other Animals: Jeff bonds deeply with his people, so he'll need to be the only pet in the home. He's working on his leash manners around other dogs and would thrive with an adopter who's patient and consistent, a confident handler who can redirect his focus will set him up for success.
Children: Jeff does not have experience with children at this time.
Ideal Home: Jeff isn't choosy as to the type of forever home he has, but he will need plenty of playtime and exercise once his rest period is up. He will thrive with a family who appreciates a bright, affectionate poodle and can offer a predictable routine. He may bark when left alone for long stretches, so structure will help him feel secure.
Overall: Jeff is a loving, quirky poodle ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $200.

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.
