Poodle and Pooch Rescue of Florida

A Rescue Based in Central Florida Saving Dogs in Need Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that saves dogs that truly need help.
(466)

We rescue the "leftovers" from animal control, the dogs nobody wants because they're older or suffer from neglect, abuse or have a medical need. Their "last" day becomes the first day of their new life. We provide the veterinary care they need, a foster family they love and when they're ready, we adopt them to a family who cherishes them. We are all volunteers so your tax-deductible donation goes

directly to help the dogs. We have saved over 5,200 dogs since 2008. Please help us save even more with a donation marked "Special Needs". Our greatest need is for donations for our Special Needs dogs who are listed on the "Save a Dog" page on our website at www.PPRFL.org.

Frito came to us completely unsocialized. At just 6 months old, he had spent most of his time outside, in a backyard. No socialization and never leaving the yard means that everything outside of his small bubble is scary.

In his foster home, he is a loving and snuggly boy, but because of his fear, his foster mom couldn’t get near him with scissors to trim his eyes.

We called on the experts at BGE Grooming who not only got him in the next day, but set aside four hours for him when the shop was quieter so he could wander, relax, and get acclimated. They gave him a bath and a blowout and then he rested in a corner while they trimmed other pups. A little later, they were able to trim one paw, then another later, and so on. We were feeling good! But as soon as the clippers or scissors came near him, he’d immediately buck away.

The staff at BGE were amazing. They tried a little at a time, going at his pace, and letting him rest in between. It’s a good start on getting comfortable with a groomer, an important step with any shaggy pup. His foster mom is also working on desensitizing him by petting his face and combing around his eyes with a toothbrush.

At Poodle and Pooch Rescue, we’re proud to help senior and special needs dogs. And that’s why we partner with like-minded vets, groomers, and trainers. Dogs like Frito may be physically healthy, but they need special support in other ways. We’re happy that we can help him on his journey together. 🩷🐾✂️

You’ve come a long way, Bugsy!

Last spring, we agreed to help a young dog that came from a home where he was tied up in the backyard 24/7. He was severely dehydrated and emaciated. When he arrived at our vet, he couldn’t stand and had to be rushed to the ER.

Bugsy was covered in hundreds, possibly thousands, of fleas, which was causing severe anemia. To make matters worse, he was also loaded with parasites on the inside, as well as heartworms. The vet was shocked by Bugsy’s dire lab work, which showed that the fleas and parasites were causing significant blood loss, while Bugsy’s frail body was struggling to replace it. The vet determined it was a miracle he was still alive.

With donated funds from our followers, months in foster care, and lots of TLC, Bugsy made an amazing recovery. Today, he’s a perfectly healthy pup who loves to socialize, snuggle, and snack!

Bugsy is ready to write the next chapter of his story with a family of his own. Are you ready to give Bugsy the safe, loving home he’s always deserved? Apply to adopt at www.pprfl.org

Adopt Brooklyn & Jack!

Brooklyn – I’m a 10-lb. tan and white Yorkie/Maltese girl with 13 years of life experience. I’m a self-proclaimed “couch potato” who is also gentle, patient, quiet and independent. And, I've got great ears! I’m slower in movement, unless I’m heading to my food bowl. Give me a soft chair/couch and I am good to go!

Jack - I’m an 8-lb. white Maltese boy and I’m 12 years old. I’m laid back, snuggly, adventurous, and an enthusiastic “wiggle-butt”. While we both get a little anxious at times, I get more anxious when my sister is not around and will tell everyone about it. I like to be near her all of the time and, fortunately, she doesn’t seem to mind one bit. Thunderstorms and being left alone also are scary, so I sometimes take medication to help me feel calmer during these times.

Their Favorite Things : These sidekicks enjoy daily walks and getting out and about. Brooklyn does tire faster than Jack but will gladly take her spot in a stroller so the walk can continue. Toys? Neither really care much about them. Brooklyn loves lounging on a couch. Jack is a fan of peanut butter and will gladly lick it from a spoon. But above all . . . Jack’s favorite thing is Brooklyn and Brooklyn’s favorite thing is Jack.

Training & Manners: They both are happy to report they have good basic manners, walk well on a leash, and love car rides.

Health & Care: Both are doing great in their senior years. Brooklyn does require a special gastrointestinal/low fat canned food. Jack is a toothless wonder with his tongue out, and he requires canned food as well. He also takes medication for those scary times, but it is very inexpensive. Both require ongoing heart medication, which averages about $60.00 a month each. Here’s the cool thing . . . PPR has agreed to cover their heart medication AND Brooklyn’s food for 6 months to their adopter . . . How “PAW”some is that?? They are low maintenance and should only need occasional grooming, baths (which they LOVE) and nail trims.

Other Animals: They have experience with and love dogs of all sizes. They haven’t been exposed to cats yet, but we think they would be fine with a feline friend.

Children: They don’t currently live with kids but older kids (8+) would be just fine. They just have to be respectful of their small size and age.

Ideal Home: Because Jack can be a bit vocal when his people leave, a single-family home would be needed. Jack can be a bit of a stinker, and he thinks he is an escape artist at times. Therefore, they should never be outside of the house unless they are leashed. Of course, a securely fenced yard would be nice too, but not a requirement. They would also love it if their people were home more often than not. They stay in a secure area in their foster home and sleep in the “people bed” at night. They both do great with house training and will let you know when they need to go outside.

Overall: If you are looking for two amazing senior dogs who are sure to entertain you, we might be the perfect duo for you.

Do you think this team could be the ones for you? If so, visit www.pprfl.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information.

📍Located in the greater Orlando area. We adopt anywhere within the state of Florida. You must be able to come to us.

➡️ Note: If this dog is listed on our website, www.pprfl.org, they are still available and we’re accepting applications. If they are not listed, they are either pending adoption, have a meet scheduled, or have received multiple qualified apps. We are still accepting backup applications.

From severe neglect… to a life surrounded by kindness! 💞

Cali’s healing journey is far from over, but last week we were reminded just how loved she is when she received a thoughtful care package from Fur Angel Blessing Blanketeers. This wonderful group of volunteers creates handmade blankets for animals in need, and they sent Cali a cozy blanket, a soft toy and an angel charm.

Cali’s foster mom placed the blanket in “Cali’s Condo,” a quiet little gated space in the house where she can rest, and Cali was delighted to snuggle right up with it.

Many thanks to the volunteer who made Cali’s blanket, and to the entire Fur Angel Blessing Blanketeers community for surrounding her with kindness. With every small act of love, Cali grows stronger and closer to the happy life she deserves!

Adopt Fritz! He’s a 2-year-old Schnauzer blend, or 11 lbs of happy, playful, fluffy love who just wants to be friends with everyone he meets.

General Behavior: Fritz is a very friendly and loving little dog. When he meets new people, he is shy for about 5 minutes and then you are another best friend. He is very high energy and likes to go-go-go so needs an active family. After a fun day of play, he will join you for snuggles and a nap when you sit down.

Likes & Dislikes: Fritz loves toys: the more, the merrier! This social butterfly also likes making new friends and lots and lots of playtime.

Training: Fritz has manners fit for the Ritz! He is housetrained if let out regularly and he will let you know when he needs to go out. He also walks well on a leash, loves car rides, sleeps in his dog bed at night and generally has good basic manners.

Medical: Fritz is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.

Other Animals: Fritz has met many other dogs of various sizes in his current foster home, and he prefers other small dogs. He also gets along with cats and even parrots! He would also be fine as an "only dog" if there is lots of playtime.

Children: This boisterous and bouncy guy does well with older children. He would be ok with small children only if they were dog savvy.

Home: This energetic guy needs a single-family home with a securely fenced yard where he can run and play and exercise. He also has a tendency to bark for about two minutes when left alone.

Grooming: As a Schnauzer, Fritz will need regular brushing plus occasional professional grooms.

Overall: Fritz is a fantastic dog who is looking for an active, loving family who will give him the great life he deserves.

Is Fritz the fun-loving friend you've been looking for? Then visit our website www.pprfl.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. He is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.

📍Located in the greater Orlando area. We adopt anywhere within the state of Florida. You must be able to come to us.

Many thanks to the Yuppy Puppy Grooming Salon in DeLand for offering a complimentary spa day to not one - but two - of our adorable foster pups!

Brooklyn and Jack are looking and feeling fab, which is perfect timing as they’ll be hitting our Adoptable Dogs page soon.

Adopt Jude! He’s a 4-month-old, 31 lb. bundle of affection and adventure! Like the Beatles song, he’s ready to “take a sad song and make it better” with a loving forever home. I’m playful and well-socialized, I rarely bark, love meeting people, and have a gentle nature that shines through in my foster home.

General Behavior: I’m a curious puppy who loves meeting people on walks. I’m full of energy and love to play. I’m still very much a puppy, but very gentle and quiet in my foster home.

My Favorite Things : Toys (the more, the merrier!), tug-of-war, sticks on walks, and splashing in water. I’m sensitive to loud noises and barking dogs, but I bounce back quickly. I love my daily walks or runs.

Training & Manners: I am smart and eager to learn - housetrained in my foster home and I’ve mastered “sit”! I have good basic manners, walk well on a leash, enjoy car rides, and respond to gentle corrections. I would thrive with continued training and structure.

Health & Care: I’m a healthy puppy and just need my monthly flea and heart preventatives, like any dog. My coat is short and will be low maintenance - just a bath every so often and nail trims will keep me in ship-shape!

Other Animals: In my foster home, I live with larger dogs. I play well with my fur-siblings but will need a play partner who is up to the task. I can play rough (unbeknownst to me) and can be too much for some dogs. I have been around cats and got along just fine with them.

Children: Older kids (8+) who understand puppy energy would be best for me.

Ideal Home: A single-family home with a fenced yard would be my "dream home”. Remember, I am an enthusiastic puppy who needs and wants to run around and get out all my energy. I would love a family that’s home more often than not (who can take me out on a consistent schedule).

Overall: If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick full of love and laughs, I might be your guy.

Do you think Jude could be the one for you? If so, visit www.pprfl.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.

🚨 Pupdate 🚨

Pierogi came to us a little over a month ago as an emergency call from the local shelter. He had several abdominal wounds and a significant wound to his p***s.

The doctors at Oviedo Veterinary Care And Emergency were able to perform surgery to close the abdominal wounds, re-route Pierogi’s urethra, and remove his p***s.

Pierogi had a bit of a rough start while recovering in his foster home. He had some bleeding and blood in his urine, but it was all normal and expected with a difficult surgery such as this.

He has been spending the last few weeks resting and recovering with morning naps in the sun and afternoon naps on the couch. (Everyone knows that snoozin’ and snugglin’ are the best medicine for recovery. )

And, it worked! Pierogi will be available for adoption in the next day or so.

Check out the Adoptable Dogs page of our website at www.pprfl.org to be the first to see his full bio when it’s posted.

Meet Sunshine, our famous doggy meteorologist! ☀️

She’s out here with her tongue out, testing the air for raindrops and trying to decide if Florida’s afternoon storms are still in the forecast.

Or maybe… she’s really checking if adoption is in the air?

Sunshine lives up to her name: she brightens every day with her goofy personality and sweet heart. Now all she needs is a forever family to call her own.

If Sunshine is the ray of light you’ve been waiting for, apply to adopt today at www.pprfl.org

Adopt Pistachio! He’s a 3-year-old, 10 pound Shih Tzu blend. Pistachio is an introvert - a little shy, but warms up quickly, and he prefers to hang at home and stay away from all the bustle of the outside world.

General Behavior: Pistachio is a playful and affectionate guy who is still acclimating to life in a loving home. He connects quickly with humans who show him kindness and will follow them around to be sure he doesn’t lose sight of them.

Likes & Dislikes: Pistachio can take or leave toys, much preferring to snuggle in his favorite human’s lap.

Training: Pistachio is doing great with house training but he’s working on his fear of being outside. He is relaxed at home with his foster family but learning not to bark or growl when visitors arrive. This little guy has not yet learned to walk on a leash and will need a gentle, patient person to help him master this step.

Medical: Pistachio is a healthy guy and will just need his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives.

Other Animals: Pistachio gets along well with the other small dog in his foster home. He has not been exposed to cats, but we think he would be fine with them.

Children: Pistachio has not had experience with children in his foster home.

Home: Pistachio will require a single-family residence with a fenced-in yard given his current apprehension about being outdoors. He can be left alone for several hours in the home with no issues. He enjoys afternoon naps in the people bed but sleeps in his own space at night.

Grooming: As a Shih Tzu blend, Pistachio will need to be brushed regularly and have professional grooming about every 6 weeks.

Overall: If you are looking for a faithful companion and ready to help him adjust to a safe and loving world, Pistachio may be the one for you!

Are you the one for Pistachio? Then visit our website at www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, neutered, and recently had a dental cleaning.

📍Located in the greater Orlando area. We adopt anywhere within the state of Florida. You must be able to come to us.

The world may be chasing Botox, fillers and perfect angles… but 4-year-old Groot isn’t interested. Every wrinkle tells his story and he wears them proudly!

Sure, his skin looks a little different (a dermatologist believes he once had a toxic chemical dumped on him) but it’s purely cosmetic and doesn’t bother him one bit.

Beyond his unique look, this gentle giant is a puppy at heart who gets along with other dogs, loves car rides, and enjoys playing with his durable toys.

If you’re ready to embrace authenticity, Groot is your guy. Visit www.pprfl.org to learn more about adopting this handsome pup! 🐾

🚨 Cali Pupdate! 🚨

When we first introduced you to Cali, she had just arrived in our care emaciated, dehydrated, and fighting for her life after prolonged neglect.

Cali’s foster mom recently gave her a bath, which revealed just how frail she really is - “essentially bones with fur.” Feeling every single bone in Cali’s body while scrubbing was heartbreaking, but Cali absolutely loved the rubdown.

Now Cali’s on a structured feeding plan with four small meals a day. She’s getting a mix of prescription food and special homemade topper to help her gain weight safely. Cali LOVES it… and the resident dogs are a little jealous (scroll through to the last pic for a laugh! 👀)

Just a few short weeks ago, Cali could barely stand. Today, she’s walking a bit wobbly, but she’s determined.

Thank you for rooting for Cali every step of the way! We’re feeling the love and so grateful for your support. 🥰
