***Local adoption only: Dunkaroo needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to his follow-up vetting appointments for remaining vaccines and neuter with PPR's vetting partner. These appointments have already been scheduled and their cost is covered in the adoption donation.***

Hi, I’m Dunkaroo! I'm a Boston Terrier blend and I'm just 3 months old. We don't know how big I'll grow to be yet, but currently I'm just a strapping 6 pounds. Part Kangaroo, part Dunkin Donuts-level of sweetness, I'm just your typical puppy who loves snacks, snuggles, toys, and playtime and who is looking for someone who will love me forever. 

Favorite Things: Dunkaroo is all puppy. He loves toys: the more, the merrier (particularly if he can chew them). He is an active and energetic pup, loves playtime and he is a bit of a foodie. 

Training & Manners: This smart cookie has learned a lot in his three months, but he still has some tricks to pick up. He needs more practice with housetraining (but picking up on it quickly), leash-walking, etc. He will need an adopter who is an experienced dog owner and who is active and willing to put in the training that is needed to raise a young puppy. 

Health & Care: Dunkaroo is a healthy pup! He will just need an adopter who will commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments (including neuter).  These have already been scheduled with PPR’s vet partner in Central Florida and are covered by his adoption donation. As far grooming goes, this easygoing guy shouldn't need too much elaborate grooming. 

Other Animals: An energetic, gregarious guy, Dunkaroo does well with other playful dogs

Children: This bouncy guy gets along well with older children (ages 8+) who can match his activity level. 

Ideal Home: This sweet guy would do best in a single family home, because he is still adjusting to being left alone as a young puppy so he barks and cries when left alone.

Overall: Do you think adopting Dunkaroo would be a slam dunk? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $475.

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.

Hi! I’m Jenkins, a 13‑year‑old, 4‑lb Chihuahua with a tiny body, a lower rubber jaw and a heart that’s somehow even bigger than all of that. I follow my favorite human like a devoted shadow and make sure they always know how much I adore them. I’m expressive, affectionate and happiest when I’m tucked under an arm, riding along in a little pouch, purse or curled up in a cozy spot nearby.

Favorite Things: Jenkins is a soft‑souled little dog who cherishes calm companionship. He enjoys warm laps, quiet affection and the simple comfort of being with someone he trusts. He also appreciates peaceful supervised time outdoors where he can sniff around and take in the world at his own relaxed pace. Mealtime is also among his favorite activities. He will happily watch as his yummies are prepared. 

Training and Manners: Jenkins is housetrained when taken out regularly and does well on a predictable routine. He sleeps soundly all night in his dog bed and settles easily once he knows his person is close. He tolerates car rides and is working on improving his leash skills, taking each outing at a steady, manageable pace. His sweet nature and eagerness to please make him a lovely companion for someone who enjoys a calm, steady presence.

Health and Care: Jenkins is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Because he has a soft, rubber jaw an no teeth he’ll need soft food only for the rest of his life which he happily enjoys. His grooming needs are minimal and can be handled at home with occasional baths, nail trims and ear cleaning. He handled bathing beautifully in his foster home and is easy to care for.

Other Animals: Jenkins enjoys the company of small, laid‑back dogs who match his mellow energy. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but his easygoing demeanor suggests he would adjust well with slow introductions.

Children: Because of his tiny stature a child free home is preferred. He could easily slip out unnoticed through a door left open. Teens + who understand how to interact respectfully with a tiny senior dog would also likely be a comfortable match for him.

Ideal Home: Jenkins forms deep bonds and prefers not to be left alone for long stretches as he’ll share his worries with a little vocal protest. A Chihuahua‑savvy adopter who understands these tiny, expressive seniors would be perfect for him. He’ll thrive in a single‑family home where his people are around often and where he has safe, easy access to outdoor potty breaks. Because he’s so portable and loves being close, he’s the kind of dog who’s happiest tagging along on errands in a soft carrier, pouch or purse.

Overall: Jenkins is an affectionate senior who embodies everything people love about tiny Chihuahuas. He may be small but his devotion is enormous and he brings warmth and sweetness to every day. With a patient, loving adopter who understands his sensitive nature, Jenkins will blossom into a loyal, heart‑melting companion.

If you think Jenkins could be the little shadow and loyal friend you’ve been looking for, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it looks like a great match, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $175.
