Story
Hi, I’m Pax. 🐾My story started with a family who loved me very much, but they realized their home and schedule weren’t the best fit for giving me the time and space I deserve. So they made the hard decision to help me find a place where I can get lots of attention, adventures, and love. I think that’s pretty brave of them—and now I’m ready to find my forever people.I’ve lived in a home with kids before and did great with them. I’ve also met cats and other dogs and passed my tests with flying colors, so I could likely share my home with some furry siblings. I’m a pretty easygoing guy overall. I ride nicely in the car and I’m okay hanging out by myself when my humans need to step out.Now, I’ll be honest about a few things I’m still working on. I’m not crate trained yet, and I’ll need some help learning my house manners and potty routines. I also get a little nervous when it’s time for nail trims or grooming, but with patience and kindness I handle it okay.One thing you should know about me—I LOVE to dig. Like, really love it. If there’s a yard, I might try to do a little landscaping… and sometimes I’m talented enough to dig my way out. So I’ll need a secure yard and a family who understands my passion for excavation. 😅My favorite things in life are simple: being close to my people, getting lots of pets, and curling up for cuddles. I’m a big softie who just wants to be loved and to love you right back.If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate buddy who will happily snuggle up next to you after a day of adventures, I might just be your guy.Love,Pax 🐶💛Requirements: Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
Hi . . . my name is Angel.  I’m a Maltese/Yorkie blended girl who weighs 11 lbs.  I’m a senior gal at 10 years old, but you would never know it.  In fact, I act more like a puppy at times both emotionally and energy-wise.  I’m affectionate, playful, protective and curious. I’m looking for a loving home with a patient person(s) who can teach me all about manners and how to be the best girl that I can be. Favorite Things: Angel loves her toys; her stuffies will keep her occupied for an hour or better. She loves being with her person at all times, including in their lap.  This goofy gal likes to give kisses too. Training & Manners: Angel is working hard on her housetraining and will need to be let out on a regular and consistent basis.  She needs someone who will continue working with her on basic manners.  Angel is food-motivated, which will lend itself nicely to continued training. She walks well on a leash but could use more walks to improve even more. She loves riding in a car.  Health and Care: Angel is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a recent dental cleaning. She is a healthy girl and only requires her monthly heartworm and flea prevention, as all dogs do.   Her hair is thin but once her full coat comes in, she will be gorgeous!  She may need occasional professional grooming after that time, but in the meantime, nail trims and the occasional bath will keep her feeling her best.  Other Animals:  Angel loves to play with other dogs, but she doesn’t always know how.  She can be a bit enthusiastic, which some dogs do not appreciate.  Angel has no experience with cats, and we do not feel it would be a good fit for her. Children: Angel is frisky and doesn’t understand (yet) not to nip when she is playing.  She has not been observed around children and due to her small size, age and lack of prior socialization, we feel a home with respectful teenagers would be most appropriate.  Ideal Home: Angel would not be picky as to the type of home and would do well in a single-family home, condo or apartment.  In her foster home, she has free rein and can be left for several hours without issues.  She will let out a "woof" when the doorbell rings but is overall a quiet girl.  After a hard day of play and sitting on your lap, she will happily sleep and dream in the “people bed” overnight.    Overall: If you are looking for a sweet “wiggle-butt” who will add love and laughter to your life, Angel might be the one for you. Are you the one for Angel? 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. Her adoption donation is $225. ##2667455##
