Daisy
Maltese, Poodles (All Types),Hi, I'm Daisy! I’m a tiny, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle blend girl and I'm 10 years old. My hearing and vision aren't what they used to be, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring. Now I just need to discover a very special, patient family who will love me just the way I am.
Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention. Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite activities. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night).
Training & Manners: Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently. Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking, and her hearing sometimes makes it difficult to communicate with her. The good news is that she is highly food-motivated to improve her manners. She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet.
Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm, along with medications for anxiety. She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.
Other Animals: Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats.
Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens only.
Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home. Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment). A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person.
Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love, attention, and patience (and creativity when it comes to communication.)
Could special Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $175.

Terriers (Medium), ,Hi! I’m Dunkaroo! I’m a 9-month-old terrier blend weighing in at 46 lbs. While the humans aren’t 100% sure of my breed, I’m 110% sure I’m going to make one lucky family a playful, affectionate, and cuddly companion!
Favorite Things: This bubbly boy loves tossing around his favorite toys, soaking up attention, and heading out on fun adventures! Whether it’s a leisurely outdoor walk or a chance to stretch his legs on a run, Dunkaroo is always ready to make some memories. If you’re looking for a buddy to keep you active and make you laugh along the way, he might just be your guy!
Training & Manners: Dunkaroo is a sweet boy who is learning his manners and working on perfecting his leash-walking skills. He settles in nicely at night and when left home alone, snoozing soundly in his own bed. He’s also making great progress with housetraining and does best when given frequent opportunities to go outside. With a little continued guidance and consistency, this smart young pup is sure to keep growing into an even better companion!
Health & Care: Dunkaroo is a healthy boy who is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and microchipped! His short coat keeps grooming relatively simple, so regular baths and nail trims are all he needs to stay looking and feeling his best. More time for adventures and less time at the groomer!
Other Animals: This playful guy enjoys the company of other fun-loving pups! He has not yet been introduced to cats, so his compatibility with feline friends is currently unknown.
Children: A home with sturdy, older children who are comfortable around an enthusiastic, playful pup would be the best fit for Dunkaroo. He’s still a young guy with plenty of puppy energy, so he’ll do best with kids who can match his playfulness while respecting his space.
Ideal Home: A single family home is required for Dunkaroo. Daily exercise, outdoor adventures, playtime, and plenty of affection will help this energetic boy thrive. He’s looking for a family ready to include him in the fun and help him continue learning as he grows.
Overall: Ever had a Dunkaroo? You know, that delicious little snack with the cookies and frosting? Well, our Dunkaroo is just as sweet, but instead of coming with a side of sprinkles, he comes with four paws, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of love! He’s the full package: sweet, fun, and guaranteed to add a little extra joy to your everyday life. The only thing missing is YOU!
Sound like a good fit? Head to 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. Dunkaroo’s adoption donation is $350.
show lessEddy
Chihuahua, ,Hi, I'm Eddy! I'm a 2 year, 6.5 lb Chihuahua with a big personality and an even bigger curiosity about the world around me. New people can make me a bit hesitant at first, but once I realize you're a friend, my sweet and goofy side starts to shine. I'm known for handing out kisses, showing off my adorable wiggle-butt, and finding creative ways to make myself comfortable while I watch the day's activities.
Favorite Things: Eddy’s favorite place is outside, where he can enjoy the fresh air and keep watch over his surroundings. He loves lounging in the sunshine, sniffing around, and observing the neighborhood at his own pace. Eddy isn't easily won over by treats, but when it's time for dinner, he's more than happy to enjoy his bowl of kibble.
Training and Manners: Eddy is potty trained if let out regularly and has great household manners. He can comfortably stay home alone for several in his secure area. Car rides are tolerated without complaint, and while leash walking remains an area for growth, he’s a very easy guy overall. One of his cutest habits is sitting up on his hind legs and waving his front paws together when he wants something, a trick that's nearly impossible not to smile at.
Health and Care: Eddy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He is a healthy boy and will just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives. His grooming needs are refreshingly simple, needing regular baths and nail clipping to make him feel his best.
Other Animals: Eddy is wonderful with all animals, adapting well to dogs of various sizes and personalities, whether playful or relaxed. He interacts well with cats, making him suitable for multi-pet homes or as the only pet.
Children: Eddy has no known experience with kids. Any introductions should be handled thoughtfully while everyone gets acquainted.
Ideal Home: Eddy would be very comfortable in a variety of living situations, including apartments, townhomes, and condos. He does prefer to have a fenced in yard so he can sunbathe and enjoy the outside weather. He has a moderate energy level and appreciates a lifestyle that balances activity with downtime. He will do best with adopters who allow him time to settle in and build confidence.
Overall: If you're looking for a sweet-natured little companion with a gentle heart and an endearing personality, Eddy may be the perfect match. He brings together affection, charm, and just the right amount of Chihuahua quirkiness. Much like the name "Eddy" suggests, he has a way of quietly drawing people in and becoming the center of their world before they even realize it.
If Eddy sounds like the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster family will reach out. Her adoption donation is $550.

Care for a dog until they’re ready for adoption
Permanent Residents
Some of our dogs will stay in our care forever. Some have been through so much change and trauma in their lives that putting them through more change isn’t in their best interest, others may have medical needs or need hospice care – these dogs will remain in PPR foster care for the rest of their lives as Permanent Residents.
Apply To foster
When you become a foster parent, you are playing a significant role in our rescue program. When you invite a dog into your home, you provide the love, patience, and guidance to a little dog in need, and Poodle and Pooch Rescue provides the rest! We are responsible for all vetting, grooming, and medical needs the dog may have, all you have to do is treat the dog as if it’s your own. A typical fostering lasts 2 to 3 weeks, and you are never stuck with a dog. You choose the dogs you want to foster, and you are free to foster at your own convenience. If for whatever reason the dog you choose doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, we will simply place the dog into a new foster family. You get to enjoy the companionship of a dog without the lifelong commitment.
It’s really easy to foster all you have to do is:
- Check to see if you meet the requirements
- Fill out the dog Foster Application
