Sweet Pete
Dachshund, Miniature Pinscher,Meet Sweet Pete! This 1-year-old Dachshund-Miniature Pincher blend weighs 9 lbs. Sweet Pete is a young guy with tons of puppy energy and is always on the go!
- General Behavior: Sweet Pete, or Petey, as his friends call him, is a friendly boy! He is quite exuberant when meeting new people and other dogs. As active as he is, when his energy runs out, Sweet Pete likes nothing more than to sleep on his person’s lap or as close to that person as possible. He’s a little lovebug and will stare at you with his dark, expressive eyes, melting your heart.
- Likes & Dislikes: Sweet Pete loves playing fetch, rooting through the toy box to see what catches his interest, and playing with other dogs.
- Training: This young guy is working hard on his training skills. He’s learning to walk on the leash but does get quite excited, causing him to bark at any dogs while on his walk. He is working on his housetraining and does well when kept on a regular schedule and let out frequently. He likes treats, which will help with training as he learns the ropes in his forever home.
- Medical: Petey is a healthy boy and just requires his monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
- Other Animals: Sweet Pete interacts well with other playful pups! He has not yet been introduced to any cats.
- Children: Pete would do well with kids 10+ who understand doggie boundaries. Pete likes to get his way with his canine and human family.
- Home: This active pooch will require a single-family home without directly connected neighbors. Whenever he hears noises outside, he runs to the window to bark, and we wouldn’t want him bothering anyone. As a young guy with lots of energy, he will require a family that can commit to providing him with daily walks and exercise, along with continuing his training.
- Grooming: Sweet Pete has a soft, glossy coat so won’t need grooming beyond baths.
- Overall: Sweet Pete is a fun guy with so much love to give to a dog-loving family!
Are you the one for Sweet Pete? Visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with his foster family if it’s a potential match. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption donation is $450.
show lessWagmore
Dachshund, Chihuahua,Meet Wagmore! This little mini 1-year-old Doxie-Chi blend weighs 10 lbs and is searching for a loving family with a playful dog.
- General Behavior: Initially shy, Wagmore is coming out of his shell with his loving foster environment, revealing just how sweet a pooch he is! He is still learning the ropes of being a dog and seeks reassurance from his trusted family members. Although he doesn't initiate snuggles, he willingly participates when approached with a gentle touch. With his foster mom he's become a little velcro dog, following her everywhere as well as tagging along with his fur foster sister. He is a very sweet and mild-mannered boy.
- Likes & Dislikes: Wagmore enjoys spending his time running and playing outside, particularly when accompanied by other canine friends! However, he is not a fan of quick movements or loud noises and often retreats to a place of safety when frightened.
- Training: Wagmore has been working hard on his training skills in his foster home. He does best with his housetraining when let out frequently and on a regular schedule. He is still working on his leashwalking skills and overall feeling more comfortable when outside of his home.
- Medical: Wagmore is a healthy boy and will just require his monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
- Other Animals: Wagmore enjoys the company of other dogs, and requires another confident and playful dog in his forever home to show him the ropes to continue to build his confidence. He's good around cats too and is in a foster home with a friendly cat.
- Children: Wagmore thrives in a quiet, calm home due to his fear of loud, sudden noises and movements. Therefore, a home with children would not be a good fit, but he is comfortable with teens.
- Home: This sweetheart requires a laid-back and calm home, with a family who is willing to give him time to bloom. We'd prefer he is in a home with a fenced in yard where he can run until his heart is content.
- Grooming: As a short-haired pooch, Wagmore does not require any elaborate grooming other than his regular baths and nail trims.
- Overall: Wagmore is a special boy with lots of love to give to a special family.
Do you have a calm and loving home for Wagmore? Visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org, where you will find the application to adopt. You'll be put in contact with his foster family if it's a potential match. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and he's neutered. His adoption donation is $400.
show lessWinston
Havanese, ,Meet Winston! This Australian Shepherd-Havanese blend weighs 19 lbs and is about two years old. Winston is a certified love bug who will never, never, never give up until he has found a forever family to call his own.
- General Behavior: Winston is a total lover and wants to be with his human all the time when he isn't running and playing. He can be shy with men and they need to go slowly, but once he knows they are safe, he is a total cuddlebug. Winston prefers to have secure place to lay and relax when not with his human. Winston is hard of hearing, but that doesn’t slow him down! He is a good watch dog if he sees someone come to the door or if the other dog barks.
- Likes & Dislikes: Winston’s very favorite thing is hanging out with his people. He likes to snuggle on a blanket with you and relax on the couch while you work, watch TV or read. He loves good belly rubs, too, so if you can work some of those in, Winston will be in heaven.
- Training: Winston is a true gent. He is housetrained if let out frequently. He is working on his manners, like not jumping up on people. He is a smart boy who learns quickly. He walks well on a leash, is well-behaved in the car, and generally has good basic manners.
- Medical: Although Winston is hard of hearing, he does not require any special medications for that. He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Winston will thrive in a home with a dog of his size and age that likes to play and run and do zoomies while their human watches over them. Winston hasn’t been observed around cats yet, but his foster does not think they’d get along.
- Children: Winston would do best in a home with understanding, gentle teens only, who can understand that they need to take care not to startle him because he is deaf.
- Home: Winston needs a single-family home: he has quite a deep bark on him! He also needs a securely fenced yard: since he is hard of hearing, he can’t hear you when you call to him.
- Grooming: Winston is a fluffy boy who will need regular grooming about every six to eight weeks.
- Overall: Winston will make a wonderful companion for a gentle, understanding family who can look after him, quirks and all, and who want constant companionship for cuddles.
Has winsome Winston won you heart? Then visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with his foster family if it’s a potential match. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered, and he has just had his teeth cleaned. His adoption donation is $450.

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.
