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 Syrax! I’m a 3-year-old, 5-pound Rat Terrier with a personality that’s MUCH bigger than my tiny frame! I may be little, but I’m full of life, love, and plenty of sass! I’m searching for a special family who will happily make me the center of their world. Could that be you? Favorite Things: This little lady is always ready for a good time! Syrax loves playing with her favorite toys and racing around with her canine friends. But don't let all that energy fool you! When playtime is over, she's more than happy to curl up next to her favorite human for a cozy afternoon nap. She's got the perfect balance of playful and cuddly! Training & Manners: Silly Syrax has been working hard on her basic manners and leash-walking skills in her foster home. She's made wonderful progress and even enjoys stopping to visit the neighbors during her walks! She'll need an adopter who is willing to continue building her confidence and helping her with socialization and leash skills. She does well with her housetraining when taken outside frequently, and when bedtime rolls around, she settles in and sleeps soundly in her own bed. Health & Care: Syrax is a healthy little lady! She's spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and microchipped. Like all pups, she'll need her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives to keep her happy and healthy. Other Animals: Have other four-legged family members? No problem! Syrax enjoys the company of other dogs and especially loves having canine friends to run and play with. A home with other friendly pups could be right up her alley! She even gets along well with cats! Children: Syrax interacts well with children and could make a wonderful addition to a family with respectful kiddos. Ideal Home: Whether it's a single-family home or an apartment, Syrax could fit right in! What matters most is finding a patient, loving family willing to continue helping her build confidence. She'd love a home where she can soak up plenty of attention, enjoy playtime, and receive all the affection her little heart desires. Overall: Big personality, tiny package, and an endless supply of love! Syrax is an affectionate, playful, and enthusiastic little companion who is ready to find her very own people. If you're looking for a pint-sized best friend who will keep you smiling and happily claim the best spot on the couch (right next to you, of course!), Syrax might just be your girl! Are you the one for Syrax? Visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application! If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $550. ##2821521##

Story
Hi, I’m Ranger, a 5-year-old Rat Terrier weighing 9 pounds. With a name like Ranger, you might picture me exploring the wilderness, but my favorite adventure is discovering the comforts of a loving home. I’m a sweet, goofy little guy who has come a long way and has lots of love to give. I also have a special talent for making unusual noises somewhere between a normal dog and Jurassic Park. It’s all part of my charm! Favorite Things: Ranger enjoys investigating interesting scents, keeping tabs on household happenings, and satisfying his endless curiosity about the world around him. He especially enjoys spending time with other dogs and seems to appreciate having fourlegged friends nearby. A playful canine companion is often the quickest way to bring out his fun side. Training and Manners: Ranger has good manners around the house and does well when given regular opportunities to go outside and has learned how to use puppy pads. Leash walking remains a work in progress, and because he's quick on his feet, he should always remain safely leashed outdoors. He is a good passenger in the car and can sleep in the people bed or his own cozy dog bed. Health and Care: Ranger is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He is a healthy boy and will simply need monthly flea and heartworm preventatives like any dog. His grooming needs are simple with regular bath and nail trims. Other Animals: Ranger gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and has gained a great deal from living with canine role models in his foster home. He has not been tested with cats, though his easygoing disposition suggests he may do well with thoughtful introductions. Children: Ranger has not had the opportunity to spend time with children. Because he appreciates a gentle introduction to new experiences, older, respectful children (10 +) who allow him to settle in at his own pace would be the best match. Ideal Home: Ranger is looking for a patient adopter who understands that relationships take time. He can be sensitive to louder voices, particularly from men, and responds best to a calm, gentle approach. A singlefamily home with a fenced yard will allow him to safely enjoy the outdoors while continuing to settle into family life. He also has a remarkable talent for conducting qualitycontrol inspections on anything left within reach, so keeping tempting objects picked up will help keep both Ranger and household belongings safe. Overall: Ranger is a resilient little dog with a sweet nature and an endearing quirky streak. He has come an incredible distance and is ready to continue thriving with a family that appreciates him for exactly who he is. For a dog named Ranger, it turns out the greatest destination isn't out on the trail at all, it's a loving forever home. If Ranger sounds like the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $350. ##2821511##

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! In fact, having other dogs around help this shy guy feel more comfortable. He loves romping around with them. 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 any children but a home with respectful kiddos would be just fine!  Ideal Home: Caraxes would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard where he can run around and have frequent potty breaks. 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##
