Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I’m Molly, a 13-year-old Chihuahua girl who weighs about 9 pounds! Don’t let my age fool you – I’m full of charisma.  And along with having the wisdom that experience brings, I’m affectionate, resilient, and very loyal once I acclimate to my new environment. 

Favorite Things: True to her Chihuahua nature, Molly knows who and what she likes! Once trust is built and she makes a connection, she loves giving kisses and staying close to her special person. Any spot near them becomes her favorite place in the world. Molly recently lost her sister and best friend and might appreciate another calm, laid-back dog in the home to keep her company.  We think she would do well as an only dog too, as long as she has plenty of human love. She does best in a calm environment with limited foot traffic, but she can handle being home alone for a few hours. She can take or leave toys but enjoys time outside and neighborhood walks. She loves food and is very food-motivated, which helps with training. She also enjoys relaxing on the couch with her human in the evening. 

Training & Manners: Molly is housetrained when let out on a regular schedule. She has good house manners but will benefit from continued coaching and patience.  She walks well on a leash, and the exercise helps her settle.  She is fine on car rides and sleeps soundly in the people bed at night in her foster home.

Health & Care: Molly 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 dog. Regular baths and nail trims will keep this lovely gal looking and feeling her best.

Other Animals: Molly has experience with other small, laid-back dogs.  She has not been tested with cats, but her foster mom suspects she would not be a good fit.

Children: This sweet senior would do best in an adult-only home as the high energy that children generally bring unsettles her.  Molly can become uncomfortable when someone moves too quickly into her personal space.  

Ideal Home: Molly isn’t picky and would do fine in an apartment, condo, townhouse or single home.  She can be left alone in the home in a secure space for a few hours without issues.

Overall: If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior Chihuahua who is happy to offer gentle companionship, Molly 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 $200.

***Local adoption only: Odin needs a family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking him to his final follow up appointments with PPR's vetting partners. The cost of these appointments is covered in his adoption donation.***

Hi, I’m Odin, a 2-month-old, 7-pound Aussiedoodle boy whose blindness just can’t stop me from loving life! I bring my intelligence and enthusiasm, along with the strength of my other senses, to each day’s adventures. I’m looking for a calm and patient family to teach me how to navigate and enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer.

Favorite Things: Odin loves toys of every size, shape, and sound!  He also loves food and is very food-motivated which, along with his intelligence, makes training a breeze. Given his blindness, he likes to stay close to his special person and relies on them for navigation until he acclimates to his space. He enjoys exploring the great outdoors in a secure area or on a leash.

Training & Manners: Odin is doing well with house training in his foster home but will need continued reinforcement and opportunities for regular outdoor breaks. As a puppy, he’ll need someone who is at home more often than not during his early months to help him learn to be the best boy he was meant to be.  He already has good basic house manners and is learning to walk on a leash.  He tolerates a car ride and sleeps soundly in the people bed.

Health & Care: Odin is heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on his vaccination schedule, but will need additional vaccines in the near future. He has follow up appointments and neuter surgery scheduled with our vet partner and his adopters must commit to taking him to these appointments, as well as to post-surgery care.  The cost of the procedure and appointments is covered in his adoption donation. He’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog, and his beautiful Doodle coat will need regular grooming. 

Other Animals: Odin has experience with other dogs of all sizes and does best with calm, laid back pups who are less likely to startle him.  Odin also does well with cats.

Children: This sweet pup would do best in a home with children ages 8+.

Ideal Home: Odin is blind, so a home without stairs or a pool is a must for him, as well as a yard with a secure fence. Once he becomes familiar with the home and with special attention paid to the safety of his surroundings, Odin can be left alone in the home for a few hours without issues.

Overall: If you live in Central Florida, are looking for a smart young pup who will steal your heart and are committed to loving and training a special needs companion, Odin may 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 $375.

Hi! I’m Pearl—35 pounds, almost a year and a half old and a poodle with a name that sounds like something rare and shiny. It fits me perfectly because I’m a little gem who adores people, new adventures and showing off my enthusiastic wiggle‑butt. I enjoy belly rubs, toys, and zooming around the yard and I never turn down a chance to step into bath time like it’s my own little spa moment. I can hang out on my own for a bit but I absolutely light up the moment my favorite humans walk back through the door.

Favorite Things: Pearl is a bright, social girl who enjoys staying active. She loves racing around the yard, chasing a ball and diving into play with enthusiasm. Toys are a big part of her day and she happily rotates through her collection. After her bursts of fun, she settles into a cozy dog bed or relaxes nearby while her people move through their day.

Training and Manners: Pearl has a solid foundation and continues to grow in confidence. She’s house trained when taken out regularly and sleeps peacefully in her dog bed at night. She’s still polishing her leash skills but she’s eager to please and responds well to gentle guidance. Car rides are handled with quiet patience and she settles once she feels secure. When left alone, she may bark briefly to share her feelings but she calms quickly and relaxes. With consistency and reassurance, she keeps improving every day.

Health and Care: Pearl is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Like any dog, she will just need monthly flea and heart worm preventatives. She loves baths and will require regular professional grooming to keep her coat looking its best. She will need to remain on a prescription gastrointestinal diet, which averages about $120 a month for a dog her size.

Other Animals: Pearl is wonderfully social with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company. She hasn’t met cats yet but her friendly, confident nature suggests she could adapt with slow introductions and a patient family.

Children: Pearl loves everyone she meets, including children of all ages. Her affectionate, outgoing personality makes her a delightful companion for families who enjoy an interactive, playful dog.

Ideal Home: Pearl would do best in a single‑family home where she has room to stretch her legs and enjoy outdoor time. Because she occasionally barks for a short moment when her people leave, a quieter, non‑shared‑wall environment will help her feel more at ease. She thrives in a home where she can be included in daily activities, enjoy yard time and continue to blossom. A family who appreciates her affectionate nature and adventurous spirit will be a wonderful match.

Overall: Pearl is a cheerful, affectionate girl who has a way of lighting up every room she enters. Her lively spirit, sharp mind, and treasure‑themed name make her unforgettable. She’s more than ready to sparkle in a forever home.

Is Pearl the gem for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $625.
