Poodle and Pooch Rescue

Hi! I’m Jenkins, a 13‑year‑old, 4‑lb Chihuahua with a tiny body and a heart that’s somehow even bigger than 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 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.

Hi, I’m Jimmy! I'm an 42-lb Poodle blend and I'm 8 years old. I'm just your average goofy, playful, cuddly, kid-friendly, adventurous guy except that I'm still looking for a family who will love me forever.

Favorite Things:  Jimmy is a very playful and affectionate dog who loves being around people, especially kids. He is extremely toy-motivated and can’t get enough of them—his favorites are fetch and tug-of-war! 

Training & Manners: Jimmy is a gentleman! He is very food-motivated and eager to please, which has made training easy so far. He already knows basic commands like “sit” and “paw” and will happily perform them for treats. He is housetrained and will let you know when he needs to go out. He loves car rides and is a great passenger. He enjoys going on walks and does well overall but would benefit from a bit more leash practice as he continues to learn. He is also a bit messy when it comes to drinking water from his bowl. 

Health & Care: Jimmy is neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped.  He’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. He  is a Doodle, so regular grooming is a must for him. His coat needs brushing several times a week to prevent matting, and he’ll need professional grooming about every 6–8 weeks. Luckily, he loves having his hair brushed and being the center of attention! 

Other Animals: Jimmy is good with other large dogs. He hasn't been introduced to cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them if they had a proper introduction. . 

Children: Jimmy loves children of all ages! 

Ideal Home: Due to his playful energy levels, Jimmy needs a single-family home with a securely fenced yard. 

Overall: Jimmy is a happy, loving, and fun companion who will thrive in a home that can continue his training and give him plenty of playtime and attention. Has playful Jimmy jumped into your heart? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $400.

Hi, I’m Juno! I'm a mellow, 8-year-old Rat Terrier (Rattie) and I weigh just 9 lbs. I may be named after a goddess, but I don't need much: just a window or sofa I can sit near and a family who will love me forever. Is that you? 

Favorite Things: Juno does not need piles of toys or a lot of entertainment: she is very content just sitting on your lap or in her bed by a window soaking up some sunshine. Once she adjusts to a new environment, she's an easy, calm, sweet little lady who just wants lots of love.

Training & Manners: This little lady has good basic manners! She is housetrained if let out regularly and is a good little passenger on car rides. She will go outside to do her business and is ready to come right back in and cuddle again, so she doesn’t require long walks. She sleeps in a dog bed at night. 

Health & Care: Juno is spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She’ll need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As for grooming, this short haired gal just needs the occasional bath and nail trim, but other than that she is a low-maintenance lady. 

Other Animals: Juno gets along well with other calm, small dogs. She even gets along with cats!

Children: Juno has yet to be observed around children yet.

Ideal Home: "Easy-going" should be Juno's middle name! She's equally at home in an apartment, condo, or single-family home. 

Overall: This shy sweetheart just wants to fit in and will be a wonderful companion for someone who has an extra space on their couch and a lot of love in their heart. 

Is Juno the sweet, calm best friend you've been looking for? 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. Her adoption donation is $300.
