Story
Meet Kevin! This adorable 8-month-old Maltese-Terrier blend weighs a perfect 14 lbs of pure cuteness.   General Behavior: Kevin is the ideal companion—sometimes a relaxed couch buddy, other times a playful ball of energy. One thing’s for sure: he’ll do anything for a treat!   Likes & Dislikes: Kevin absolutely LOVES his walks and enjoys running around in a fenced yard. He’s not too fond of robotic vacuums (who can blame him?), but apart from that, he’s a pretty easygoing pup.   Training: Kevin is a smart little guy! He does well with his housetraining when let outside regularly and will let you know when it’s time to go. He walks well on a leash, rides nicely in the car, and greets his humans with the happiest tail wags when they come home.   Medical: Kevin is in great health! He’s up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. Like all dogs, he’ll just need monthly flea and heartworm prevention.   Other Animals: Kevin gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but his foster believes he’d likely do well with them too.   Children: Kevin would do best in a home with older kids (ages 8-10+), but families who are experienced with active puppies would also be a great match for him.   Home: A single-family home would be best for this active and vocal puppy.  Grooming: Kevin will need regular brushing and occasional grooming to keep him looking his best.   Overall: Sweet and friendly Kevin is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and wagging tails to a lucky family. He’s looking for a forever home where he’ll be loved, walked, and spoiled—just as he deserves!   Has Kevin won your heart? He’s waiting for you! Head over to  www.poodleandpoochrescue.org where you’ll find the application to adopt. He’s up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.  His adoption donation is $500 ##2300192##

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! NOTE: Pokey and Stu are bonded and must be adopted together Meet Pokey! He’s an adorable 12-year-old Maltese mix looking for his forever home with his buddy Stu. This little guy is 12 pounds of love. All he wants is to be with his person. He is a Velcro dog, following you from room to room, where you sit is where he wants to be. Don’t let his age fool you though, he still has some spunk in him, still has that spring in his step, and loves his morning and evening strolls that he takes with his buddy Stu. He’s potty trained when let out regularly but prefers to do his #2 on his walk. He loves car rides even if it’s just around the neighborhood. He is shy when you first meet him but he’s very food motivated and can be won over with a soft treat. And once you have earned his trust, he will not leave your side. He prefers to sleep in the hooman bed - sleeping through the night like a champ. He has the cutest personality and loves rolling around every morning in the sheets and pillows, using his voice, letting you know how happy he is. He also had dental work done and has no teeth so soft food is a must. He is fine with other dogs and cats and leaves them alone. He’s not interested in toys except he will engage in play behavior when his foster momma is playing with their 5 yr old shih tzu. He is a laid back, low maintenance dude that got a stellar review at the groomer. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and are looking for the most loving, laid back companion to keep you company while you binge watch your favorite TV show, then this guy and his buddy Stu are the perfect dream team for you!
