Poodle and Pooch Rescue of Florida Saving Dogs in Need Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that saves dogs that truly need help. We have saved over 5,200 dogs since 2008.
(264)

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. 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.

Johnny Cash needs a foster home like you need your morning coffee.

☕️ You... look forward to that warm cup in your hand.
🐶 Cash... looks forward to a warm lap to cuddle in.

☕️ You... feel lost without your coffee routine.
🐶 Cash... feels lost without a routine and someone to rely on.

☕️ You… need a little afternoon pick-me-up.
🐶 Cash… needs you to pick him up this afternoon.

But, coffee cuteness aside, we really do need to find this 11-month-old pup a foster home ASAP. He has so much puppy energy and is not doing well cooped up in boarding.

His prior foster, who couldn’t keep him because the resident dog in the home didn’t like Cash, says: “I wish I could just get someone to meet him and they will see he is the perfect pup. He is trusting and loving and that’s what I wish I could show people. He is not high maintenance at all…he just wants to be loved. So simple.”

Johnny Cash is cautious of other dogs so we think a pet-free foster home would be best for now. If you’re in the Orlando area and can offer him a quiet place to crash, please DM us or submit a foster application via our website at www.pprfl.org.

Even if you can’t help, please share this post - maybe someone you know can help!

Freckles is having a ball in her foster home! 🎾

But, now it’s time for this playful, zoomie-lovin’ girl to find a family of her own.

Two-year-old Freckles is an easy-going, low-maintenance pup who gets along with other dogs and children (and would probably get along with cats, too). While she enjoys playing in fenced yards, she’d also be happy living in a home without one as long as she gets lots of walks and playtime with her humans.

If friendly Freckles sounds like the perfect match for you, drop us a line via the adoption application on our website - www.pprfl.org.

Baylee was adopted! 🏡

Meet Baylee! This 2-year-old Goldendoodle weighs 62 lbs. Bouncy, brilliant, beautiful Baylee just wants to be everyone's friend.

General Behavior: Baylee's ideal day involves two things: playtime and pats! She is always up for playtime with another dog or person. After a day of running around and playing, she is happy to lie down next to your chair for a snooze. She also loves a good snuggle session on the couch, too.

Likes & Dislikes: Baylee loves a game of chase, or hunting for lizards, or retrieving a toy. She loves toys; the more, the merrier!

Training: Baylee is a little lady. She is housetrained if let out regularly and walks well on a leash. She is well behaved in the car, sleeps in a dog bed at night, and generally has good basic manners.

Medical: Baylee has a history of skin reactions/allergies but they are well controlled with daily Apoquel (allergy meds). The cost of her allergy medication should be budgeted and runs approximately $80/month. Other than that, she just needs her monthly flea and heartworm protection, like any dog.

Other Animals: Baylee loves to play with other energetic, friendly pups! She's even good with cats too!

Children: Baylee loves kids! Any extra attention, affection and love - bring it her way and she'll happily reciprocate!

Home: Given Baylee's energy and love of playtime, she'd adore a home with a yard, but she could get along almost anywhere.

Grooming: As a Poodle blend, Baylee will need regular brushing and at-home baths with professional grooming about every 8-10 weeks.

Overall: Baylee will make a wonderful companion for an active family who is ready for lots of playtime, companionship and cuddles. If you're searching for the perfect family friend, Baylee is your girl!

Has lovely, bubbly Baylee bounded into your heart? 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. Baylee is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, spayed and she has just had her teeth cleaned.

Meet Starbucks, AKA “Starbies”, a miniature poodle blend girl. She is 3 years old and weighs 16 lbs.

General Behavior: Starbies is a happy little pup, always ready to meet you with a tail wag and a kiss. When she arrived to us, she was a little unsure of men, but her confidence has grown thanks to the patience and guidance of her foster mom. She needs some extra time to warm up to men, so she’ll need an understanding home.

Likes & Dislikes: Starbies loves all toys, but she especially likes the squeaky ones. She enjoys car rides (often calling shotgun), chasing lizards, and playing fetch.

Training: Starbies is a well mannered little girl who enjoys her walks, is treat motivated when learning new behaviors, and housebroken when let out regularly.

Medical: Starbies is a healthy girl who just requires her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any other dog.

Other Animals: Starbies is experienced with dogs of all sizes, both calmer dogs and playful ones. She would do well in a home with another dog or would be just as happy being the only dog in her new home. She has not been tested with cats, but it would probably not be the best fit for her.

Children: Since Starbies is such an affectionate girl, she’d be fine in a home with children.

Home: As we mentioned, Starbies is a playful pup who loves to chase lizards and play a quick game of fetch, so a fenced yard is preferred. She does well when home alone and likes to snuggle with her foster in bed at night.

Grooming: Starbies will likely require professional grooming every 8-10 weeks. She doesn’t mind the blow dryer and falls asleep when getting brushed. Nail trims will be needed on a regular basis as well.

Overall: Starbies would be the perfect family dog or great with a single person. She truly is a gentle soul looking for patience, love and commitment. If that is something you can offer, she might just be the perfect one for you.

Are you the one for Starbies? Please visit our website, www.pprfl.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family if it’s a potential match. Starbies is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

08/11/2024

Meet Sylvie, an affectionate two-year-old Shih Tzu gal who weighs just over 11 lbs.

General Behavior: Sylvie is a loving and kissy girl. She is curious, clever, and playful. She can also be independent and is fine doing her own thing at times.

Likes & Dislikes: Sylvie would say that chasing lizards would be at the top of her list of fun things to do. She loves her toys.

Training: Sylvie is housetrained if let out on a regular, consistent schedule. She has good basic manners, walks well on a leash and doesn’t mind a car ride or two.

Medical: Sylvie is a healthy pup and will just require her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any other dog.

Other Animals: Sylvie has experience with calm, laid-back dogs and would do ok with another smaller furry friend, but she is not a fan of big dogs. She would also be just as content to be the only pup in your life. She does not have experience with cats, so we are unsure how she would react to them.

Children: While in PPR’s care, Sylvie has not been around children. Because she does not like to be grabbed, small children would not be good fit with Sylvie. A home with older, respectful children (10 and older), would be appropriate, but should be supervised by the adults in the home.

Home: Snuggly Sylvie should do well in an apartment or home. In her foster home, she has free reign of the home. She will happily join you on the couch for cuddles and shower you with unconditional love. After a long day of play and cuddles, she is happy to snuggle up and snooze in her bed.

Grooming: Sylvie is a shih tzu who will require professional grooming approximately every 8-10 weeks. The cost of grooming should be considered by her potential adopter.

Overall: If you are looking for a smaller pup who will offer love, wiggles and snuggles, Sylvie may be the one for you!

Are you the one for Sylvie? Please visit our website, www.pprfl.org, where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family if it’s a potential match. Sylvie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

We hear all kinds of falsehoods about rescue. And one of the most common is that rescues and shelters only have large, mixed-breed dogs.

Right now, we have more pure-bred dogs than fun mashups!!

We have Abby the cocker spaniel, Carla the French bulldog, Casper the standard poodle, Finn the Komondor, Kalie the Australian shepherd, Pierre the Shih Tzu, and Pilaf the American Eskimo.

And we have even more who will soon be available!

You can see their full bios and more at www.pprfl.org

Starbies, meet Starbies! 🐶 ☕️

Every dog deserves a Starbucks pup cup, but the treat is especially fitting when your name is Starbies.

Foster mom Amanda has been helping Starbies work through some of her fears and decided a walk in the park followed by a special treat might be just what this skittish pup needed. There’s no greater satisfaction than introducing a foster pooch to the joys of a pup cup!

If spoiling a foster dog sounds like something you’d like “a latte,” visit our website at PPRFL.org to submit a foster application.

Adopt Casper! He is a 6-year-old, 61-pound white Poodle with a heart as big as his tall, lanky frame.

Casper is a sweet, playful guy who loves people and will give you a gentle nudge when he wants some extra love! Though he started out with a bit of separation anxiety, he’s come a long way in foster care and has grown more confident.

Casper would do best in a home with no small children, but older, respectful kids (10+) are just fine. He loves other dogs, especially those a bit smaller and calmer, and would be happy with a canine companion—or as the only pet, as long as his people are home more often than not. He’s also apartment-friendly, as long as he gets plenty of daily exercise.

Ready for a best friend who’s as friendly as they come? Casper is your guy!

04/11/2024

Meet Carla! This 3-year-old French bulldog weighs 25 lbs. Carla is a well-behaved little lady who is looking for a loving home to grace with her presence.

General Behavior: This easy-going gal mostly just likes to sleep all day. If you take her out in the backyard during the day, she will most likely just lie down on the grass. She will patiently wait while her food is being prepared.

Likes & Dislikes: Carla loves pats, particularly scritches on her rear end. She also loves to patrol the neighborhood on walks. She’s good on leash walks but will chase lizards, birds and shadows, so be sure to keep a firm grip on the leash!

Training: Carla is a good girl! She is house trained if let out regularly. She will sit and watch you eat but does not beg for human food. She sleeps in a dog bed at night, is well-behaved in the car, and generally has good basic manners.

Medical: Carla needs eye drops for an autoimmune affecting her eyes (granulomatous episcleritis). Her ophthalmologist does not feel she will experience any additional problems with her eyes as long as she continues getting her drops. The cost is approximately $20/month.

Other Animals: Carla would do well in a home with other small dogs only. She is not a fan of felines or larger dogs.

Children: Carla would do best in a home without children because she is fearful of them.

Home: She would do best in a home where she can have a fully fenced in yard to run around in. She is still working on leash walking but it may take some more patience and time with her new forever family.

Grooming: Carla is short haired and does not require grooming other than baths and occasional nail clippings. Luckily, she is good at taking baths!

Overall: Chill Carla will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an easy-going best friend!

Are snoozing and snacking among your interests? Do you give the best pats? Then Carla thinks you might be her new best friend! Visit our website www.pprfl.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with her foster family if it’s a potential match. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed.

03/11/2024

Putnam aka “Putty,” the one-year-old pup with no hind paws, has officially found his forever home! Here’s a quick recap of Putty’s journey:

March: Putty came from a hoarding case in which over 200 dogs were removed from one home in Putnam County. This little guy had no hind paws, likely a birth defect, as well as terrible separation anxiety.

April: Foster parents Dawn and Kevin took Putty in, and it was determined that he’d need custom prosthetic boots for his hind legs.

May: Putty started therapy in preparation for his new boots.

June: Putty was casted for his custom prosthetics, but before they arrived, a mass appeared on his hind leg, causing a small delay as it had to be surgically removed.

August: Putty received his new boots! He took to them like a champ and enjoyed running and playing with his foster brother, Bauer.

September - Putnam broke his leg, requiring surgery and some new hardware. Although this was a big setback, he’s recovering well and loves lounging in the backyard.

October - Foster parents Dawn and Kevin decided Putty was the perfect fit for their family, leading to Putty’s official adoption day! If you had asked Dawn and Kevin if they had planned to adopt an independent, mischievous, ornery Yorkie blend, they would have laughed and said NO. They took a long time to make sure it would be a good fit for them, as well as their 10-year-old Havanese blend, Bauer, who has always been an only dog. With everything they’d been through with Putty over the past five months, they couldn't imagine NOT making him a permanent part of their family.

Putty has come so far both physically and emotionally. His healing journey will continue with Dawn and Kevin, and they hope he’ll be able to use their swimming pool for therapy after he gets the all-clear from his vet.

Many thanks to all who donated towards Putty’s care, along with our friends at Florida Veterinary Rehabilitation, Integrative Animal Hospital, and Dr. Stephen Van Lue for fixing his broken leg.

Johnny Cash wants to throw a PJ paw-ty … and he’s looking for the perfect host!

No one has stepped forward to foster this sweet and silly 8-month-old pup. He’s not doing well confined in boarding and we’d desperately like to see him move to a stable foster home where he can do what he loves most: play, snuggle, and cozy up to his humans in his jammies.

What’s Johnny bringing to the party?
🐾 Goofy puppy energy
🐾 Endless tail wags
🐾 All the food, snacks, and supplies that he’ll need while in foster care… on us!

What does he need from his host?
🏠 Someone who’s around more often than not to help him feel secure
🏠 A safe, quiet space where he can feel fully at ease
🏠 Plenty of patience, love and attention to help him gain confidence and work on his leash skills

If you’re located in the Central Florida area and want to give him a chance to be his happiest and most confident self, please let us know by filling out a foster application on our website, www.pprfl.org, and we’ll be in touch.

Thank you for spreading the word!

Put your hands together and join us in a round of “a’paws” for our friend Diane at Yuppy Puppy Grooming Salon!

Diane (second from left) not only offers complimentary grooms for some of our rescues, but has also gone above and beyond to help them in every way she can. She recently presented us with a check for $500, raised through a summer raffle to support PPR pups in need.

Diane is also pretty special to us because she adopted Loretta (front left), a sweet pup whose story went viral after she arrived in our care severely matted last year.

We’re so appreciative of our supportive friends in the community like Diane, along with our dedicated volunteers like Annette (far right) who initially introduced Diane to our rescue.

It truly takes a village to save Florida’s leftover dogs, and we’re incredibly grateful for ours!

Finn was ADOPTED!! 🏡

Meet Finn! This 1-year old, Komondor weighs 67 lbs. Finn is looking for his forever home that can give him lots of love, pats, and the amazing life that he deserves.

General Behavior: Finn is a very happy, sweet and funny boy. It may take him a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is very affectionate and loves pets and attention. His love languages are touch and words of affirmation. He would do wonderfully with a breed-savvy family who can commit to looking after his gorgeous coat and who can keep this intelligent guy occupied.

Likes & Dislikes: Finn loves to have his coat brushed and he loves a good belly rub. He leans into you to give and receive hugs and kisses. He enjoys playing with plush toys. He loves taking walks and does well in the car. He enjoys chasing lizards, although his foster mom doesn't think he's caught one yet.

Training: Finn is a smart cookie! He knows how to sit and is working on his recall. He waits patiently by the door to go on a walk or car ride and is good on a leash. He is doing extremely well with house training. He may bark if he sees the mailman outside but will stop if you ask his to. Finn is not reactive to loud noises, such as a vacuum, blender, mower, thunder or even a hurricane.

Medical: Finn is very healthy. He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and spayed. He only requires monthly heartworm and flea prevention.

Other Animals: Finn is good with other dogs. He absolutely adores playing with his foster sister. He would enjoy sharing a home with another friendly dog. His foster mom has not tested his with cats but believes he would be good with them, too.

Children: Finn is gentle with children but may need a minute to warm up to them.
Home: Finn would do well in a single-family home with a fence to roam and chase lizards and hopefully play with a new brother or sister.

Grooming: As a Komondor breed, Finn does not shed but will require daily brushing if he is kept short, which he enjoys very much. He will require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. The cost of grooming for a pooch his size runs approximately $100.

Overall: This beautiful, sweet boy is always so happy and will make you happy just to look at him. He'll make a best friend for one lucky family!

Finn is looking for a person who will love his as much as he will love them. Is that you? 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, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered, and he has just had his teeth cleaned.

➡️➡️ Note: If this dog is listed on our site, then they are still available and we’re accepting applications. If they are not listed, they are either pending adoption or adopted. The post will be updated when the adoption is official. All dogs are in foster homes and an app is required in order for us to connect you to the foster family.

***Local Adoption Only: Pilaf needs a forever family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments. These have already been scheduled at one of Poodle and Pooch Rescue's vetting partners and the cost is covered by the adoption donation.***

Meet Pilaf! This 4-month-old American Eskimo dog currently weighs 18 lbs. This cute fellow shines like the brightest star in the sky

General Behavior: ​Pilaf is a nervous pup at first but he is quick to warm up to his person. He follows his foster mom around the house 90% of the time but if he hears any sound, he goes immediately to investigate what is going on. If anyone walks in the house or makes an unexpected move or sound, he will bark at them. Once Pilaf is comfortable, though, he will win your heart with his joyful expressions, hugs, and kisses. He is very smart and active and will need vigorous exercise several times a day and frequent mental challenges.

Likes & Dislikes ​Pilaf loves lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation. He is an expert-level runner, jumper, and climber. He would play 24/7 if he could; he is always ready for a new adventure and for constant attention. He likes squeaky toys. If you throw the toy(s) far out, he fetches them. He also likes to chew on his bone toy. If he doesn’t have toys around, he becomes very creative and will invent his own game: if you have a party coming up, he can make confetti out of any paper of any size or color. He can’t stay still unless he is tired out. Then, he loves belly rubs and snacks! Pilaf likes a treat like a couple of organic cookies late afternoon, or edamames.

Training​: Pilaf is a smart cookie! He dis doing well with his housetraining. While he needs to be taken out frequently, he will let you know when he needs to go out. He is a good passenger in the car, He has learned that not all food is his and respects other’s dogs’ bowls. He knows a few commands: sit, no, out, let’s go outside. He acquired leash skills and some socialization.

Medical: Pilaf is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. He also needs a forever family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments. These have already been scheduled at one of Poodle and Pooch Rescue's vetting partners and the cost is covered by the adoption donation.

Other Animals: ​Pilaf is okay with other dogs He would like to play with them, however he can be rough at times and he can overwhelm calmer and smaller dogs with his attempts to play. Having other mid-size dogs at home that like playing rough would be ideal or he'd be just fine as the only canine king in his castle too. He has not been observed around cats.

Children​: Pilaf can be very energetic, so he needs a home with active adults only.

Home: ​Pilaf would do best in a single-family home with a fenced in yard because he likes to be in the yard often and likes to run around. He'd do best in a home where someone is at home - he wouldn't be good home alone for more than a couple hours a few times a week.

Grooming: Pilaf's coat is coat is soft, elegant, majestic. ​He requires a fair amount of combing and brushing at home, but not too much elaborate grooming.

Overall: ​Pilaf is an outstanding pup who wants an active family to enjoy life.

Are you are a loving, compassionate, patient person who lives in the Central Florida region? Do you want to spoil a precious pup who will adore you? Then visit our website at www.pprfl.org where you will find the application to adopt. Pilaf must be adopted locally to finish his puppy boosters and be neutered.

🐈‍⬛ In honor of National Cat Day, we are sharing our friend, Leo DiCatprio.

Leo is in need of a new home and while we are a dog rescue, we’ll also help cat-dogs, which he clearly is.

This is a courtesy post. If interested in adopting Leo, please DM us and we will connect you to his people.

Cat-Dog Looking for a New Home

Meet Leonardo (Leo) DiCatprio. Leo has been the apple of his family’s eye. They adopted him when he was 8 weeks old and he’s lived like a Prince of England. Through no one's fault, his family must rehome him. His family agonized for months on rehoming him because, well, he’s been pampered and they love him, so it wasn't an easy decision. Leo is a Cat-Dog! He roughhouses and fetches like a German Shepherd. He’s a big, macho, affectionate, funny guy who loves toys and will fetch things when you throw them, and then he wants to snuggle for an hour or two. He likes to play with other cats, though we don't know how he'd feel about a dog. We don’t suggest a home with a baby or toddler because he roughhouses too much.

Leo has a medical condition with his skin that requires he eats only Hill's Prescription Diet P/R dry food (he is highly allergic to chicken and whey proteins, which cause localized flare ups in his right paw). But otherwise he's very strong and healthy.

He is 3 years old, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. He comes with a pile of toys, an auto-feeder, fancy litter box, backpack, and the rest of his cat food. His adoption donation is $40.

Our Story

Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that saves dogs that truly need help. 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 4,000 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, some of whom you can visit on our website www.pprf.org
