Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi! I’m Bella! I’m an 11-year-old, 6 lb. tiny Chihuahua with a heart that is anything but tiny! I may be petite, but I bring BIG snuggles, an even bigger personality, and plenty of love to share with my forever family!

Favorite Things: Snuggles are at the very top of Bella’s list! Her favorite pastime is hopping into your lap, getting nice and cozy, and settling in for a long, relaxing nap. She’s an easy girl to please — give her a comfy lap, a few yummy treats, and all the attention she desires, and you’ll have a best friend for life. Bella is ready to be your professional cuddle buddy!

Training & Manners: Beautiful Bella is a sweet and well-mannered little lady. She walks well on a leash, tolerates car rides, and firmly believes that every human bed should have a special spot reserved just for her. She does well with her housetraining and is happy to follow her people wherever they go.

Health & Care: This senior sweetheart has a clean bill of health! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Bella does have some age-related joint inflammation, but thankfully, she only needs medication as needed to keep her comfortable.

Other Animals: Bella has experience living with other small dogs and has done well with them! She’s happy to have canine companions, provided they understand one very important rule: Bella’s cuddle time with her humans is sacred. She has not yet been introduced to cats.

Children: A home with older, respectful children would be a good fit for Bella. 

Ideal Home: Bella would flourish in either a single-family home or apartment-style living — she isn’t picky! What matters most to this little lady is having a family who is home more often than not and will happily indulge her desire for companionship, attention, and plenty of snuggle sessions. After all, Bella has spent 11 years perfecting the art of being a lap dog, and she’s ready to put those skills to good use!

Overall: Bella is a sweet, affectionate, outgoing little girl who has so much love left to give. She may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you — this tiny Chihuahua is ready to be someone’s beloved companion, couch buddy, and permanent lap warmer. Bella is looking for a family who will cherish her and let her spend her golden years exactly where she belongs: right by their side.

Hello! My name is Benita. I’m a 2-year-old Terrier blended gal who weighs 33 lbs. I’m happy, playful, affectionate and curious.  I’m looking forward to finding my forever home where I can shower my person with love.  My name is derived from Spanish and Italian origin, and it means "blessed" or "fortunate”.  What a perfect name, as I feel so blessed and fortunate that you are considering ME to be a part of your life!

Favorite Things: Benita’s favorite thing in life is playing with balls!  She doesn’t seem to care much about other toys, but if you give this gal a ball, she is a happy camper.  She also likes attention and loves cuddles from her humans.  She is also an independent lady and is content to go off and do her own thing.

Training & Manners:  Benita is housebroken in her foster home and will need to be kept on a regular, consistent schedule. She walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks.  She loves riding in a car and has good basic manners.  She does sometimes cower when approached from overhead (this could be fear or anxiety from her past).  Her future humans should keep that in mind and avoid this to make her comfortable. She can be protective of her food, so this should be managed appropriately, especially if her new home has other pets.  Benita is not much of a barker. She is not a fan of rainy weather and gets nervous during inclement weather. Benita is very intelligent and additional training should be a breeze.

Health and Care: Benita is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She appears to be a healthy gal and will just need her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog. She is a low-maintenance girl and will just need an occasional bath and nail trims to keep her feeling her prettiest.

Other Animals: Benita has experience with dogs of all sizes and would do well with a canine sibling.  She will tell overly playful dogs to back off when she has had enough.  She could also be the only dog in her new home . . . more attention for her and extra snuggles for you!  She has not been tested with cats, but her foster thinks she would be okay with a feline friend.

Children: Benita has not been around children in her foster home.  We think she would be okay in a home with older children (10+), as long as they approach her slowly and with kindness. 

Ideal Home: Benita isn't choosy and would do okay in a house, apartment, townhouse or condo.  She can stay home alone in her secure area for several hours without issues.  At night, she sleeps well in her secure space. 

Overall: If you are looking to welcome a snuggly, playful and sweet girl to your life, maybe Benita could be the one?  If you think you could be the apple of her eye,  please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Benita’s adoption donation is $400.

Hello! My name is Bonnie. I’m a 3-year-old Pug gal who weighs 15 lbs. I’m a self-proclaimed goofball who still thinks I am a  puppy!  I’m playful, curious, affectionate and full of personality.  And YES . . . I can be a little mischievous.  I’m looking to find my FURever home where I can shower you with love, give you lots of kisses and snuggle.  I am a little bit of chaos, a lot of personality, and some puppy manners that still need work… but I also come with SO much love.

Favorite Things: Bonnie has many favorite things, including being close to her people and toys.  She will happily follow you around the house, curl up next to you, climb into your lap for a nap and make sure you are never too far away.  This silly girl loves toys and pretty much anything she can chew on.  Sometimes she even decides something that is not a toy should be a toy, so you will need to keep a close eye on this mischievous girl. Her greatest love is food.  If given an opportunity, she will happily help herself to whatever she can, and she’s working on understanding the difference between her food and your food.  She may have some strong opinions about that distinction!  Her love of food and treats should lend itself nicely when it comes to additional training for Bonnie.

Training & Manners:  Bonnie will need an adopter who can work with her on her house training as well as her basic manners and leash walking.  She is learning that hands and feet are not chew toys, and when she gets really excited and wants to play, she can be a little mouthy and play-bite with your hands and feet.  She will need a patient and consistent human to help her with those manners (she truly does still think she’s a puppy). 

Health and Care: Bonnie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She will just need her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any dog. She is a low-maintenance girl and will just need an occasional bath and nail trims to keep her looking and feeling her absolute best.

Other Animals: Bonnie has experience with small, laid-back dogs and cats too.    

Children: Because she can be a bit mouthy with play biting, Bonnie would do best in a home with respectful children 8 years and older. 

Ideal Home: Bonnie isn't choosy as to her type of home.  This wiggle-butt would be happy in a single-family home, condo or apartment.  Her desire is to find a home where her human is home more often than not.    After a day of play, this active girl is happy to curl up in the “people bed” at night. 

Overall: If you have a home filled with love, patience, consistency and a good sense of humor, Bonnie just might be the one for you.  We are confident that she will thrive and become the best girl she can be.  Think Bonnie is for you? Please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org (https://www.poodleandpoochrescue.org/) and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information.  Bonnie’s adoption donation is $450.
