Poodle and Pooch Rescue

 ***Bonded – Bow Wow & Lil Bit are bonded and must be adopted together.***

Meet Bow Wow and Lil Bit! Hi, we are Bow Wow and Lil Bit. We’ve been together for many years and can’t bear to be parted. We’re both curious, gentle and a little shy and we’re searching for a family that has LOVE enough for two.

Bow Wow – I’m a 10-year-old Cairn terrier blend boy who weighs 12.6 lbs. I happily follow my best-friend-furever’s lead but I’m also fond of human cuddles. My enthusiastic wiggle when I see my people will tell them all they need to know.

Lil Bit – I’m a three-legged Chihuahua girl who is 13.5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. I take the lead in our dynamic duo, like any self-respecting Chihuahua, but Bow Wow is my best friend in the world and we get along like two peas in a pod. I’m also in charge of surveillance in my home and neighborhood, so you can rest easy.

Favorite Things: This pair eats, plays, and sleeps together and are very relaxed in each other’s company. Bow Wow loves to snuggle with his human and be scratched behind his ears. Lil Bit likes to sit on her human’s lap when it’s time to chill. They can take or leave toys, preferring to enjoy time with their people and their soulmates over playing with the squeaky stuff.

Training & Manners: Bow Wow and Lil Bit are house trained when kept on a regular schedule. They have good basic manners, walk well on their leashes and tolerate a car ride. Both sleep in their own cozy beds at night in their foster home.

Health & Care: This is a healthy pair who are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and recently had dental cleanings. They just need their monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. Bow Wow will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to look and feel his best while Lil Bit will need regular baths and nail trims that can be done at home.

Other Animals: Bow Wow and Lil Bit have experience with other small dogs as well as cats and get along with both but need slow introductions.

Children: These two sweethearts would do best in a home with kind, understanding, older children (ages 12+), or a home with no kids and quiet senior living would be great too! 

Ideal Home: This pair will need a home without stairs or a pool given Lil Bit’s three-legged physique. And they’ll do best in a single-family home because Lil Bit will bark to alert you to both strangers and visitors (she has a strong resume as security director). They can be left alone in the home for a few hours in a secure space. This duo would do best in a fenced-yard where they can sniff, explore and wander together safely in nature.

Overall: If you’re looking for a cuddly couple who make wonderful companions for their people as well as each other, Bow Wow and Lil Bit 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.

Hi, I’m Cannoli! I'm an 11-lb, 8-year-old Chihuahua - Miniature Pinscher blend. As with my namesake dessert, if you look beneath my sometimes crunchy exterior you'll find a sweet softy who is looking for a quiet, calm, loving home. 

Favorite Things: Confident, curious Cannoli loves toys: the more, the merrier. He can also be a social butterfly who greets everyone with an enthusiastic wiggle, but he still requests his space and to be approached slowly.

Training and Manners: Cannoli is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, sleeps in his dog bed at night, is a good passenger on car rides, and generally has good basic manners, although he can startle around people. 

Health and Care: Cannoli is a healthy boy! He has an odd gait from a previous injury, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He is up-to-date on vaccines and neutered and he has just had his teeth cleaned. He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a short-haired Chihuahua, he shouldn't need much elaborate grooming, either. 

Other Animals: This friendly guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them, too. 

Children: Cannoli requires a gentle, non-forceful approach, for this reason, he needs a home without children and with patient, understanding, dog-savvy adults only. 

Ideal Home: Whether in an apartment, condo, or single-family home, this little guy doesn't need much: just a patient and loving person who will love him just as he is.

Overall: Do you think curious, playful Cannoli would make your life so much sweeter? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org; if it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch. His adoption donation is $275.

Hi! I'm Carrie, a 10-month-old Labradoodle weighing 40 pounds! I’m a bright, bouncy girl with plenty of puppy enthusiasm and a heart full of love. I’m always eager to explore, play, and make new friends, and my silly personality is sure to keep you entertained. If you’re looking for a fun and affectionate companion to share life’s adventures with, I could be the girl for you—and yes, just like my namesake, I’m always ready for a little adventure!

Favorite Things: Carrie absolutely adores her people and wants to be wherever the action is! She has a blast playing and wrestling with other dogs, especially pups who enjoy an energetic play session. Once she’s had her fill of fun, Carrie is perfectly content curling up beside her person and soaking up some one-on-one affection.

Training and Manners: Like any young pup, Carrie is still learning what it means to be a well-mannered member of the family. She is working on leash confidence, housetraining, household manners, and basic training and will need a family willing to be patient, consistent, and encouraging. Carrie is a quick study and picks things up readily, making her a wonderful candidate for a family excited to help her continue growing and learning.

Health and Care: Carrie is a healthy young dog who is spayed, microchipped, and current on all of her vaccines. Her Labradoodle coat will require regular brushing as well as professional grooming appointments to keep her looking and feeling her best. Potential adopters should be comfortable with the ongoing time and expense associated with maintaining a Labradoodle’s coat.

Other Animals: Carrie enjoys the company of other dogs and especially loves canine playmates who are ready to match her youthful energy. She would likely appreciate having a playful dog friend in her forever home. Carrie has not been introduced to cats, so her behavior around feline companions is currently unknown.

Children: Carrie is a cheerful, affectionate girl who enjoys meeting people and gets along well with everyone she encounters. Because she is still a very enthusiastic puppy, she is continuing to learn about personal space and appropriate boundaries. Her ideal home with children would be one where the kids are sturdy enough to comfortably handle her puppy exuberance and are not easily knocked off balance.

Ideal Home: Carrie will need a single-family home with a securely fenced yard. She is not yet comfortable walking on a leash, so having a safe, enclosed outdoor space will be important while her confidence continues to develop. Her family should be experienced with dogs and prepared to patiently guide her through her puppy behaviors. Carrie can also be quite vocal when left alone, so a home where this can be managed appropriately would be best. She needs a family who is ready to put in the time, effort, and consistency necessary to help her thrive.

Overall: Carrie is an energetic, affectionate, and clever young pup who has so much to offer her future family! She loves her humans, enjoys canine companionship, and is eager to learn and discover the world around her. She’ll need a family willing to embrace the work that comes with puppyhood while helping her gain confidence and polish her manners. With the right guidance, plenty of love, and maybe a little shopping for the perfect pair of chew-proof “Manolo Blahniks,” Carrie could be the perfect addition to your life!

If Carrie sounds like the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to apply. If it seems like a good match, we will reach out. Her adoption donation is $625.
