Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi, I’m Sadie, a sweet little 12-year-old miniature poodle looking for a cozy forever home to spend my golden years in! I may be small at just 8 pounds, but my heart is huge. I absolutely adore being close to my people, giving gentle kisses, and soaking up all the love and attention you’re willing to give. 

Favorite Things: Sadie loves lounging in a comfy bed and carrying around her favorite plushy toys. She’s happiest relaxing near her person, soaking up the comfort of companionship with a soft toy nearby.

Training & Manners: Sadie is a polite, quiet little lady with wonderful house manners! She does well when home alone and sleeps peacefully in her dog bed at night. She thrives on a consistent potty schedule and does best when given regular bathroom breaks. Sadie walks nicely on a leash and enjoys short, leisurely strolls through the neighborhood.

Health & Care: Sadie has a history of seizures, though she has not had one in quite some time. She takes medication twice daily to help manage her condition, with medication costs totaling less than $10 per month. Otherwise, she is a healthy senior girl who is spayed and simply needs her monthly flea and heartworm prevention. As a miniature poodle, Sadie will also require regular brushing and routine grooming appointments to keep her soft coat looking and feeling its best.

Other Animals: Sadie does well with calm, laid-back dogs and would enjoy sharing her home with another gentle companion. She is not a fan of loud or overly energetic pups and prefers a peaceful environment. She also gets along well with cats.

Children: A home with older, respectful children ages 8 and up would be an excellent fit for Sadie.

Ideal Home: Sadie would do well in either a single-family home or an apartment. More than anything, she is searching for a family who will cherish her, spoil her with love, and make her the center of their world — exactly as she deserves.

Overall: Sadie is the definition of a gentle soul —sweet, loving, and happiest when she’s close to her person. She may be in her golden years, but she still has so much love to give and deserves a soft landing filled with comfort, kindness, and companionship. If you’re looking for a quiet little shadow to share your days with, Sadie could be the perfect addition to your family.

Hi, I’m Shadow. I’m a 3½‑year‑old, 33‑pound Australian Shepherd blend who likes to ease into new friendships. I’m a quiet, observant and happy fella when I can take my time deciding when to step forward. Once I feel safe, I greet my people with soft enthusiasm and a gentle tail wag that says I’m glad you’re here.

Favorite Things: Shadow enjoys cozy blankets, calm spaces and the freedom to relax without pressure. He’s not much of a toy fan and prefers doing his own thing, but once he’s comfortable, he settles nearby with quiet contentment.

Training and Manners: He is house trained with regular outdoor breaks. Shadow walks nicely on a leash, rides politely in the car and sleeps in his dog bed at night. He’s still learning some basic manners, but he responds well to patient guidance. When left alone, he’s trustworthy; he simply gathers a blanket or two to build the perfect nap spot.

Health and Care: Shadow is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines. He’ll need monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Regular brushing keeps his coat comfortable and helps him feel his best.

Other Animals: He does well with dogs of all sizes and thrives in a home with more outgoing dogs that can help him with his confidence. His ideal home would have another dog to keep him company. He hasn’t met cats yet, but his calm nature suggests he may do fine with a slow introduction.

Children: Shadow hasn’t lived with kids before. He should do well with older, dog‑savvy children (10+) who understand his demeanor.

Ideal Home: He would do well in an apartment, condo or townhome with regular outings. Shadow thrives in a quiet, predictable home with patient people who understand shy dogs. He doesn’t enjoy being approached directly, but when given space, he chooses connection on his own terms.

Overall: Shadow is a gentle, introverted companion who blossoms slowly but deeply. He’s independent, low‑key and easy to live with, especially for someone who appreciates a calm, observant dog. Once he trusts you, he greets you with genuine warmth and settles into your life just as his name promises softly, steadily and always close by.

Could Shadow be the one you’ve been looking for? Then head to www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a match, his foster family will contact you. His adoption donation is $400.
