Adopt a Dog in Need
Meet our beautiful dogs. Thank you for your interest in adopting!
Farrah
Chihuahua, Dachshund,
***Local adoption only: Farrah needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking her to her spay and follow-up vaccinations with PPR's vetting partner. The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.***
Hello! My name is Farrah and I am a Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua Dachshund) girl. I am just 11 WEEKS old and weigh 4.8 lbs. It has been said that “Good things come in small packages” and I am proof of that! I am a typical puppy with LOTS of energy. Plus, I am adorable! I am looking for my “fur”ever home where I can learn all about life with someone who is willing to teach me, be patient with me and love me.
Favorite Things: Farrah is an adventurous and playful puppy who greatly enjoys exploring in her foster’s fenced yard. She also loves car rides and TOYS, toys, and more toys! As with most puppies, Farrah will need to be redirected when chewing on anything other than her toys.
Training & Manners: As a young puppy, Farrah is working on her house training and will need frequent and consistent potty breaks. She is working on her basic manners and walking on a leash. She is very curious and will need supervision while she explores and learns more about her surroundings.
Health and Care: Farrah is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as her spay. The cost of these is covered in her adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR’s vetting partners. Farrah has a beautiful coat (like Farrah Fawcett) and we do not anticipate she will need extensive grooming. Likely, just nail trims and occasional baths will keep this gal looking and feeling her best.
Other Animals: Farrah has experience with small dogs and would love to be in a home with another small, playful pup. She has not been tested with cats, but we think she would be okay with them after a slow introduction.
Children: Because Farrah is such a tiny puppy, she will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.
Ideal Home: Farrah isn’t choosy and would do well in a single-family home, apartment or condo. As long as this energetic pup gets lots of exercise, she will be a happy camper. She would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not (especially as she continues to work on her potty training). When home alone, Farrah does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, she is content to curl up in her dog bed.
Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, athletic, loving puppy, Farrah just might be the one for you. With consistent training and gentle guidance, she has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion.
Do you think Farrah could be the one for you? If so, please 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. Farrah’s adoption donation is $550.

Chihuahua, Dachshund,***Local adoption only: Felicity needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking her to her follow-up vaccinations and neuter (at the appropriate time) with PPR's vetting partner. The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.***
Hello! My name is Felicity and I am a Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua Dachshund) girl. I am 11 WEEKS old and am a petite puppy at 3.9 lbs. I’m “all puppy” and still learning about this great big world. I need a “fur”ever home where someone can teach me, train me and love me.
Favorite Things: Felicity is a very playful puppy who enjoys her toys - the more she can have, the better! She also loves to be held when she is sleepy.
Training & Manners: As a young puppy, Felicity has been hard at work with house training. Felicity has not had experience with leash walking yet, so will need someone willing to work on leash skills, as well as basic manners. She tolerates a car ride.
Health and Care: Felicity is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as her spay at the appropriate time. The cost of these is covered in her adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR’s vetting partners. Felicity should not need any elaborate grooming but will just require nail trims and an occasional bath to make her look and feel her best.
Other Animals: Felicity is currently in a foster home with her brother Fletch and loves to play with him. She has not been tested with cats, but we think she would be okay with them after a slow introduction.
Children: Due to her tiny size, Felicity will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.
Ideal Home: Felicity would do well in a single-family home, apartment or condo. She will need lots of playtime and exercise to work out her puppy energy. She would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not (especially as she works on her potty training). When home alone, Felicity does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, she is happy to curl up and sleep in her own secure space.
Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, adventurous and gentle girl, Felicity could be the perfect match for you. With consistent training and gentle guidance, she has all the potential to become your new best friend.

Chihuahua, Dachshund,***Local adoption only: Felix needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to follow-up vaccinations and neuter (at the appropriate time) with PPR's vetting partner. The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.***
Hello! My name is Felix and I am a Chi-weenie (Chihuahua Dachshund) blend boy. I am 11 WEEKS old, and I weigh 5.6 lbs. My name means “happy” and “fortunate”, and I am! I am also adventurous, affectionate, curious and a self-proclaimed “wiggle-butt”. I would be most fortunate to find a forever home where I can be loved and shown the ropes about being the best boy I can be! I tend to “go with the flow” and am doing great adjusting to all my new experiences.
Favorite Things: Felix loves toys . . . the more, the better! He also loves to play with his sister Fiona (they are currently being fostered in the same home). At night, they turn into little gremlins and love to wrestle, play and do zoomies. Felix loves to give kisses (puppy breath is the best) and has a fondness for cuddles and food, which makes him easy to bond with. He is in his “puppy chewing” phase, so must be supervised or kept in a secure area.
Training & Manners: Felix is a clever boy and is learning potty training quickly. He has not been on a leash yet, so will need to learn about that from his owner. He is accustomed to wearing a collar (a cat collar at present because he is so tiny). Felix is food motivated which should lend itself nicely to basic training. He tolerates a car ride.
Health and Care: Felix is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as his neuter at the appropriate time. The cost of these is covered in his adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR’s vetting partners. Felix should not need any elaborate grooming but will just require nail trims and an occasional bath to make his look and feel his best. He does have floppy ears, so weekly ear cleaning should be a part of his regular routine.
Other Animals: Felix is currently in a foster home with larger dogs and his sister Fiona (who he loves to play with). He would do great in a home with another small, playful pup (maybe even Fiona?). While he is familiar with older dogs, his energetic play style could overwhelm older, laid-back dogs. He has not been tested with cats and would need slow introductions to any feline friends. Please keep in mind that he is a puppy with lots of energy, so not all cats may be excited about that.
Children: Felix has not had experience with children. Due to his tiny size, he will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.
Ideal Home: Felix can be quite vocal and tends to cry when left alone. For this reason, a single-family home would be best. He will need lots of playtime and exercise to work out his puppy energy. He would do best in a home with someone who is home more often than not (especially as he continues to work on potty training). When home alone, Felix does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, he is content to dream away in his own secure space.
Overall: If you are looking for a gentle, silly, curious boy, Felix could be the perfect match for you. With consistent training and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion.
Do you think Felix could be the one for you? If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His 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.
