Poodle and Pooch Rescue of Florida

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.
(460)

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.

Pupdate: The Lake County Seventeen! 🐾

We recently asked our foster parents to provide updates on how the Lake County dogs are doing.

Today’s feature: Viserion and Rheagal!

ā€œViserion and Rhaegal are such the cuddle bugs! They just want to get all the attention from the humans. Such sweet pups and great with dogs of all sizes!ā€

And - both of these pups are currently available for adoption! To learn more about each of them, visit our website at PPRFL.org to read their full bios.

Adopt Benita! She is a 2-year-old, 33-pound Terrier blend.

Benita is a happy, affectionate girl who believes life is better with a ball in it! šŸŽ¾ She loves walks, car rides, cuddles and hanging out with her people, but she’s also perfectly content to do her own thing. She gets along with dogs of all sizes, could live with a canine sibling or be your one-and-only, and would do well in a house, apartment, townhouse or condo. Older kids 10+ who are gentle and respectful would be a good fit, and while she hasn’t met cats, her foster thinks she could do well with one.

Her name means ā€œblessedā€ or ā€œfortunate,ā€ and Benita thinks she’s pretty lucky to have found her way to you! ā¤ļø

Today’s feature: Nissan!

ā€œI’ll take any opportunity to talk about little Nissan! He’s such a smart, curious yet cautious boy. He already comes when called by his name, knows ā€œtouchā€ and is working on walking on a leash. He loves cuddling and playing with his foster brother. He can kill a food puzzle in literally 30 seconds. It’s been such a joy to watch him come out of his shell since being with us.ā€

The need for vet care and supplies for this large intake group is ongoing. If you’d like to donate towards their care, you may do so:

What makes Daisy happy? Being close to her person… exploring the world around her… and snacks!

This sweet 10-year-old, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle mix may need a little extra patience as she navigates a world where her hearing and vision aren’t what they used to be, but she has so much love to give. We think Daisy could make her forever person pretty darn happy, too.

Could you be the special someone she’s been waiting for? Visit PPRFL.org to learn more about Daisy and submit an adoption application. šŸ’–šŸ¾

You can still apply for Rowdy, and your application can be kept on file and used for any PPR pup. We have several more doodles that will be available in the next few weeks. Keep checking our website as it’s updated in real time. https://poodleandpoochrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/

Adopt Rowdy! He is a 6-month-old, 44 lb. Labradoodle.

Rowdy is affectionate, gentle and playful, with a serious love of toys and a soft spot for snuggles. He’s good with dogs of all sizes, cats and children of all ages, and would do best in a home where he has plenty of room to run and play. He’s also housetrained, walks well on a leash, loves car rides and sleeps in his dog bed at night.

Rowdy’s ready to say ā€œHowdyā€ to his forever family!

Adopt Stewie! He is a 10-year-old, 49-pound Cur-Terrier blend.

Stewie is a sweet, easygoing guy who has perfected the art of relaxation and is happiest with his people nearby, a cozy couch, and maybe a tasty snack or two. He gets along well with dogs and cats, is good with kids of all ages, and would be happy in an apartment, condo, townhome, or single-family home as long as he gets regular gentle walks. He can be left alone for a few hours and is content to spend his day snoozing, although he’s always ready for a little squirrel-chasing adventure!

Stewie may be a professional napper, but he’s also a professional sweetheart. ā¤ļø

Adopt Rhaegal! He’s a 7‑year‑old, 7‑pound Rat Terrier–Chihuahua blend.

Favorite Things: Rhaegal delights in being held, cuddled, and doted on. He enjoys belly rubs, gentle affection, and the closeness of his favorite humans. His idea of fun is curling up with his person and sharing quiet, affectionate moments. Toys are optional in his world — he’s far more interested in connection than playthings.

Training and Manners: Rhaegal is housetrained when let out frequently and follows household routines with ease. He sleeps peacefully through the night and enjoys relaxing beside his person. He has good basic manners and responds well to gentle guidance. While he isn’t enthusiastic about leashes, he makes up for it with his eagerness to please and his natural charm.

Health and Care: Rhaegal is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and just had a dental cleaning. He will need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. His grooming needs are minimal with regular baths and nail trims.

Other Animals: Rhaegal gets along well with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company without needing constant interaction. He prefers having his own mealtime space, so he does best eating separately. His easygoing nature makes him a pleasant match for respectful canine companions. He hasn’t been tested with cats, though his temperament suggests he may coexist comfortably.

Children: Rhaegal is comfortable with children of all ages. His friendly, social personality makes him a sweet addition to families who enjoy a small dog with a warm, welcoming nature.

Ideal Home: Rhaegal would do well in a variety of home types, including apartments or townhomes. He settles nicely in his secure area when left alone and enjoys relaxing until his people return. A home that appreciates his affectionate spirit, his clever little quirks, and his gentle independence will help him thrive.

Overall: Rhaegal is a charming, social boy with the heart of a tiny dragon and the sweetness of a devoted companion. He loves people instantly, enjoys canine friends, and brings a joyful, quirky energy to every room he enters. If you’re ready for a snuggly, clever little character who lives up to his legendary name in the best possible way, visit www.pprfl.org to apply. If it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch.

Adopt Cannoli! He’s an 11-lb, 8-year-old Chihuahua - Miniature Pinscher blend.

Favorite Things: Confident, curious Cannoli loves toys: the more, the merrier. He can also be a social butterfly who greets everyone with an enthusiastic wiggle, but he still requests his space and to be approached slowly.

Training and Manners: Cannoli is housetrained if let out regularly. He walks well on a leash, sleeps in his dog bed at night, is a good passenger on car rides, and generally has good basic manners, although he can startle around people.

Health and Care: Cannoli is a healthy boy! He has an odd gait from a previous injury, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He is up-to-date on vaccines and neutered and he has just had his teeth cleaned. He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. As a short-haired Chihuahua, he shouldn't need much elaborate grooming, either.

Other Animals: This friendly guy gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them, too.

Children: Cannoli requires a gentle, non-forceful approach, for this reason, he needs a home without children and with patient, understanding, dog-savvy adults only.

Ideal Home: Whether in an apartment, condo, or single-family home, this little guy doesn't need much: just a patient and loving person who will love him just as he is.

Overall: Do you think curious, playful Cannoli would make your life so much sweeter? If so, visit www.pprfl.org. If it seems like a good match, his foster family will be in touch.
