Poodle puppies and dogs in Lodi, California

Life hasn't always been easy for Finch. Found wandering as a stray, this 43 lb Standard Poodle has had a rough go of it. He arrived here completely matted and with a double ear infection. We acted quickly to remove all the painful matting and take care of his ears, so now he's looking a little bald but he's feeling much better. He is ready to leave his past behind and find a soft place to land. At 2-3 years old Finch is the perfect age. He is past the chaotic puppy teething stage but still has plenty of youthful energy. While his coat is short now, we hope to find a home for him where his new owners will be diligent to keep him groomed so he can remain pain-free and handsome. We have vaccinated and microchipped him, and he will be neutered on 2/18. He is currently on a stray hold until 2/7 to give any previous owners a chance to claim him, but afterwards he will be ready for adoption. We are accepting applications now in case no one comes forward. If you're ready to meet him, go to www.petsnpals.org and submit an adoption application! $350 adoption fee helps with some of the costs of caring for him here. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Meet Freddie our sweet one year old poodle mix. He weighs 15 pounds full grown. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. The vet sent him home with a clean bill of health and is now ready to find a home all his own. He is house trained and goes outside to do his business every couple hours when needed. Inside the home, he's pretty independent and keeps to himself unless you're calling him over for some love and attention. He's not the type to demand affection, but he absolutely soaks it up when it's offered. He is still getting the hang of walking on a leash and building confidence as his previous life as a breeder dog didn't include many outings, so everything is still a little unfamiliar to him but he's making steady progress. He enjoys spending quiet time out in the yard and will happily hang out on his own, especially if he's not quite ready to come inside. He's a bit of a hide and seek pro when he wants to be. Every day he gets a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more confident. He currently sleeps in his crate peacefully at night but I'm sure he would love his own bed next to yours if you prefer. He sleeps soundly through the night and settles in easily when you need to step out. What he needs now is someone with patients and a gentle heart, someone who understands that love and trust take time to grow. He'd thrive in a calm, nurturing home where he can continue building confidence at his own pace. His adoption fee is $1500 which covers all vet costs, care and training since the time he's been with us. Get in touch with us today and share details about yourself, the loving home you can provide, and your experience with the breed. Located in Hesperia CA. We offer transportation to you so long as it's covered by the adopter. We will be in contact with you shortly. Thank you!

We have a transport leaving on 2/21/26 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Layla to our trip for the right family 😊 Layla is a beautiful 3-year-old purebred Standard Poodle who truly embodies everything people love about the breed and then some. She is set to be spayed on 2/3/26, and once that is complete, her adoption listing will be updated to reflect all final veterinary care. Prior to being cleared for adoption, Layla will be fully vetted, including being spayed, having her yearly vaccines brought current, being microchipped and registered, and receiving a thorough exam with our trusted veterinarian. Layla weighs approximately between 45–50 lbs, and I will update her exact weight at her spay appointment. She is not a big girl by any means—leggy, yes, but that is natural for a poodle. She is naturally lean, petite, and beautifully built 💕 She is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike, but her true joy comes from her humans. Layla is happiest when your eyes and hands are on her 😊 She has the most contagious smile, and it’s nearly impossible not to feel that same joy radiating back at you when she’s around. She truly is all that you love about the poodle breed—loyal, confident, intelligent, sweet, doting, caring, attentive, and the absolute best friend you could ever ask for. I could go on for days about how incredible she is and how blessed you will be to have her join you in life. Layla is wonderful in the home and has impeccable house manners. She is crate trained and sleeps peacefully in her crate all night long. She knows her crate well and will walk right in the moment it’s opened for her. That said, she is very adaptable and could easily transition to sleeping on a bed beside you if that’s what you prefer—because who wouldn’t want to be closer to the ones they love? She is not a barker, but she will alert you if she feels something unfamiliar is worth investigating. She listens beautifully, allows her person to lead in any situation, and has incredible eye contact. At times it truly feels like she’s reading your thoughts before you even say a word. Layla is wonderful at the groomer, and while she doesn’t currently have a traditional poodle cut, once her coat is fully grown back she will be just as stunning as ever. She travels exceptionally well and does great on road trips of any length. She knows sit, stay, come, and “off.” Layla does love to give hugs—very gently and with so much emotion and love. While we don’t encourage jumping, her hugs are done so sweetly that we allow them on occasion, while also making sure she understands “off” for anyone who may not appreciate a loving poodle embrace. Layla came to us after her prior owner sadly passed away. Without immediate living family or children, a kind neighbor reached out to us. She already had three dogs of her own but knew Layla deserved to be somewhere safe and loving rather than placed in a cold shelter. Her goal was simple—to see Layla return to a home where she would be loved the way she always had been. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/layla This includes her spay, current yearly vaccines, microchip and registration, veterinary exam, and the care, grooming, and training she has received while in our care. If anything additional is required, such as a dental cleaning, the adoption fee will be adjusted accordingly to help offset those costs.

We would love to add Gemma to our trip for the right family 😊 Gemma is a truly special girl, and the kind of dog who quietly changes your life once she chooses you as her person. She is a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle with a very fine, wavy to slightly curly coat that is hypoallergenic, so you won’t have to worry about shedding. Gemma is small framed and naturally petite, estimating around 35–40 lbs, and she is fully grown. Her weight will be updated following her upcoming spay. Gemma is set to be spayed on 2/3/26, and her adoption listing will be updated once that is complete to include all finalized veterinary care. Temperament-wise, Gemma is nothing short of exceptional. She is sweet, kind, loving, attentive, and incredibly intelligent — observant in a way that is hard to put into words. She prefers to be near her person, always aware of where you are, quietly devoted, and eager to become someone’s lifelong companion. She is cautious by nature when meeting new people, so we are looking for a confident and patient adopter who understands that Gemma opens her heart thoughtfully. But once she does, she never closes it again. When Gemma loves you, that bond runs deep and lasts a lifetime. Gemma is wonderful with other dogs, both big and small, and she adores children. She loves our family as a whole — men, women, and children alike — and once she loves you, that’s it. She is not a barker, but she will alert you to unfamiliar noises. She has excellent house manners, travels beautifully on road trips of any length, and is absolutely phenomenal at the groomer. Energy-wise, Gemma is beautifully balanced. She is not high energy, but she has no trouble keeping up with you and whatever adventures the day may bring. At the same time, she is perfectly content to relax, cuddle, and simply be close to you. Gemma came to us because her previous owner loved her deeply but did not have the space she deserved. Rather than confining her to a small area, she made the selfless decision to give Gemma the chance at a fuller, happier life — one with room to thrive. Gemma is an incredible dog in every sense. She is gentle, loyal, and deeply devoted, and she will make someone unbelievably happy to spend their life with. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/gemma-1 This includes her spay, vaccines, microchip and registration, and exam with our vet, along with the care, grooming costs, and training she has received while in our care. If anything additional is needed, such as a dental cleaning, the adoption fee may be adjusted to help offset those costs.

Ollie is such a sweet and special boy with a quiet and lovely nature. Ollie is an 1 ½ -year-old, 14-pound wheat-colored Poodle/Chihuahua mix (his mother is a Poodle and dad is a Chihuahua). Ollie is a lovable pup who will need time to adjust to his new surroundings. He thrives best in a calmer environment, ideally with another friendly dog. He loves snuggling up with other dogs, and having a canine companion would be perfect for him! Because of Ollie’s gentle, bashful demeanor, we recommend a home with adults or older teenagers. He may take his time warming up, but once he trusts you, you’ll see his sweet and gentle nature shine through. Ollies does well at the sanctuary using the doggie door to go potty outside, He will benefit from some leash training to help him build confidence. Ollie is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready for adoption! If you think you can open your heart and home to this sweet boy, come meet Ollie he promises to be an adorable addition to the family. He deserves a warm and loving environment where someone can show him lots of love. Thank you for considering adopting Ollie, he's sure to bring so much joy and companionship to the right home.

If we need to look something up later and you used a different email we are often not able to find it. 2. Adopt a Pet and Petfinders ask you to send us an enquiry. This always delays our response. (Why) a. Our biographies are always very detailed. Therefore sending an enquiry asking us to repeat what it says in the biography causes a lot more work and delays our response. b. We are a small non-profit and do not always have the help to answer as many enquiries as we get. c. Again our Biographies are very detailed and if you just click the link near the bottom of their bio you can fill out an application which we will respond to. 3.
