Story
Meet Alexander!  Alexander is a sweet rescue who's still settling in and showing us his personality. Once he trusts you, he's incredibly loyal and will happily follow you from room to room. He's an easy housemate who does well home alone during the workday, sleeps through the night, knows "sit," loves treats (especially baked chicken!), and enjoys playing fetch—though he's still working on the "drop it" part. He's also been a great sport about his medicated baths. Alexander is still building confidence and can be reactive to unfamiliar people, especially men, as well as other dogs. Thunder and loud noises can also make him nervous. Because of this, we think he may do best as the only pet in a calm, female-only home with someone who will give him the time and patience he needs to feel safe. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will reward your kindness with endless loyalty, Alexander might be your perfect match.  ##2799159##

Story
Hi, I’m Subaru, a 2yearold Rat Terrier weighing 13 pounds. Like the car brand, I’m always ready for an adventure, especially if it involves squirrel patrol, a toy or two, and quality time with my favorite people. Beneath my goofy personality is a sweet, affectionate guy who enjoys both activity and downtime. I may be small, but I make every day a little more entertaining. Favorite Things: Subaru has two great loves in life: squirrels and toys. He takes squirrel patrol very seriously and is always ready to keep an eye on any furry visitors. When he’s indoors, you’ll often find him entertaining himself with a favorite toy. Training and Manners: Subaru already has a solid foundation of good manners. He walks nicely on a leash, does well when taken out regularly, and can be left alone for several hours in a secure area without issue. He can be tempted to make a quick dash through an open door, so continued guidance in this area will be important. Health and Care: Subaru is a healthy boy! He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He will need monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives like any dog. His grooming needs are simple, regular baths and nail trims will help him feel his best.. Other Animals: Subaru has experience with small dogs and particularly enjoys companions who appreciate his playful style. He hasn't been tested with cats, but we suspect he may be more hesitant than bold during introductions. Children: Subaru would do best with children (6+) who respect his space while he settles in will help him feel safe and confident. He can be unsure in new situations and sometimes plays with an open mouth when he's excited, but he does not nip. Ideal Home: Subaru warms up slowly, but with patience (and a couple of treats), he becomes a total sweetheart. He does best in a calm, predictable home—apartment, townhome, condo, or house and absolutely thrives with another pup around. Snuggling, companionship, and having a buddy help him feel secure and happy. He’s also has the potential to be a little but of Houdini, so a secure home and extra care at doors will keep this sweet boy safe! Overall: Subaru is a charming mix of affection, humor, and personality. He forms strong bonds with the people he loves and brings plenty of smiles along the way. Like the Subaru he shares his name with, he's dependable, versatile, and happiest when traveling through life with his favorite person. If Subaru sounds like the perfect fit, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $525. ##2821512##

Story
Hi! I'm Caraxes! I'm a 10-year-old Rat Terrier that weighs 13 lbs. My name may sound a bit more combat-ready than I am, but don't let the name fool you—I'm much more interested in snacks, snuggles, and living my best cozy life! After all, every good dragon rider needs a loyal companion, right? Favorite Things: This little guy is a FOODIE! If you've got yummy snacks, Caraxes will be your new best friend! He's not much of a toy guy, but he's always happy to curl up with his favorite human for some quality snuggle time. His love language? Treats and companionship! Training & Manners: Caraxes is a quiet gentleman with wonderful manners who enjoys napping in his bed and sharing his space with other dogs. He's still gaining confidence with leash walking and working on his housetraining. His foster mom keeps him on a consistent routine, but he may still have accidents, so his adopter should be prepared to continue working with him patiently and consistently. Health and Care: Caraxes is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He will need monthly heartworm and flea prevention like any other Florida pup. Other Animals: Other dogs are a-okay with Caraxes! He's patient and easygoing, even with pups who aren't quite as well-mannered as he is. He hasn't been introduced to cats, so any feline introductions would need to be slow, careful, and supervised. Children: Caraxes has not interacted with children. Because he is shy and reserved, we believe older children who understand how to be gentle, respectful, and patient would be the best fit. Ideal Home: Caraxes needs a patient and understanding family willing to give him time to build confidence. New situations can be scary for this sensitive little guy, and even going outside can sometimes make him nervous. A securely fenced yard is imperative since he isn't comfortable walking on a leash yet, and his adopter should be committed to helping him continue building confidence and mastering his housetraining. Overall: Caraxes is a sweet, quiet, affectionate little guy looking for a safe place to land. He may be shy at first, but underneath his cautious exterior is a gentle companion who loves snacks, cozy beds, and being near his people. He'll need someone willing to give him time, patience, and plenty of reassurance, but watching him blossom could be incredibly rewarding. He may not be the fearsome dragon his name suggests, but with the right person by his side, Caraxes is ready to discover just how wonderful life can be! If you think Caraxes may be the one, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. Caraxes' adoption donation is $300. ##2821513##
