Poodle puppies and dogs in Sacramento, California

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.

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!

Guapo is a 4-month-old Husky poodle mix puppy who was surrendered to us after an accidental litter. His previous family loved him dearly but lived in a very small apartment and wanted a bigger, brighter future for this special boy. At about 25 lbs, Guapo is already showing how smart and observant he is. He figured out how to climb spiral stairs at a very young age (seriously impressive!) and loves finding cozy high spots where he can nap and watch the world go by. Guapo is a sweet, shy, sensitive soul who takes a little time to warm up—but once he feels safe, his adorable personality starts to shine. He is gentle, calm, and surprisingly quiet (we haven’t even heard him bark yet!). He has lived happily with children, cats, and other animals of all sizes and does wonderfully when he has companionship around him. Because he’s still gaining confidence, Guapo would thrive in a home that can: • Be patient and help him continue building confidence • Spend lots of time with him (he loves having company!) • Provide a stable, loving environment where he can blossom This smart, gentle boy is ready to leave apartment life behind and find a family to grow up with. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving pup who will bond deeply with his people, Guapo may be your perfect match Adoption Donation $550 includes neuter, vaccinations, microchip heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application Interested in adopting? 1.

Meet Gladys 💞 Gladys is a 2yr old, 48lb Doodle. Gladys is a super sweet girl with a TON on energy. Gladys looooves her people and would like nothing more than to shadow you all day. With that being said, she does not have any separation anxiety. Gladys gets along with all dogs and wants to play, she’s a little intimidating to the smaller dogs cause she doesn’t know her size and energy level. Gladys walks ok on a leash and would benefit from the “Gentle Leader” leash. One thing about Gladys, she is ALWAYS up for the next adventure. Gladys is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on her rabies vaccine. If you are interested in meeting Gladys, please fill out an application at www.broketailrescue.org, located under the contact tab.

Annie was fostered for two weeks and quickly became a favorite. From day one, she settled in beautifully and showed just how sweet and affectionate she is. She loves snuggles and is a true velcro dog who wants to be close to her people as much as possible.When Annie is with her people, she’s quiet and doesn’t bark without reason, but she does have separation anxiety and becomes distressed when left alone which results in a lot of crying and barking. Annie would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time — she’d be a wonderful companion for a retiree or someone who works from home.Annie is crate trained and sleeps well in her crate as long as it’s near her people. She’s fully potty trained with no accidents in foster care. She eats enthusiastically (and quickly!) and has some dietary restrictions with limited portions.She has also done well sharing her foster home with another dog and she enjoys going on walks. Annie is a truly sweet girl who deserves a loving, devoted home. 

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 our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Born on 11/6/25, these four beautiful Schnauzer/Poodle babies came to us after their previous family experienced an accidental litter before mama could be spayed. It was never their intention to breed, and they lovingly reached out to us for help. In turn, we ensured both mom and dad were spayed and neutered so no future accidental litters would happen. For size reference, their mom weighs 16.8 lbs and their dad is just under 20 lbs full grown. While genetics give us a helpful guide, mixed breeds can vary slightly in maturity depending on which traits they favor as they grow. These puppies have been raised with intention, structure, affection, and daily hands-on care. They are incredibly well socialized, beautifully tempered, bright, and eager to learn. They are pad trained, sleep peacefully in their enclosed play yard at night, and are used to a structured routine. They have not yet begun outdoor house training or leash training, as we prioritized completing their vaccines before exposing them to shared dog areas. Beginning both house training and leash introduction in their new homes will allow them to bond directly with their adopting families while learning these important life skills in a consistent environment. This approach has helped keep them healthy and sets them up for success as they mature. All four puppies are considered hypoallergenic and have gorgeous coats that favor the Schnauzer side — soft, beautiful texture with that classic Schnauzer look rather than tight Poodle curls. Their coats will require regular grooming to maintain their healthy appearance as they grow. Each puppy has had a full veterinary exam and was cleared medically with a health certificate for their adopting family. They are current on all puppy-age vaccines including Bordetella, have been microchipped, and had fecal testing sent to the lab which came back negative (copies provided). They will go home on spay/neuter contracts as they are far too young to be altered, and keeping them past this bonding window would not benefit their emotional development. It is important they grow into themselves within their own families 💞 While they are siblings, they will be adopted individually unless someone is intentionally seeking a sibling pair. Each one deserves to be chosen for who they are as an individual soul. Now let me introduce you to their hearts… Aria – Female – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.84 lbs, Aria is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown. She is my shy, serene little girl. She doesn’t rush into the world — she softly steps into it. All she needs is a gentle voice and a few sweet words, and you can literally watch her open up. The moment she feels safe, her tail begins wagging like it has its own heartbeat. She is quiet by nature, calm, and deeply bonded to her person. She enjoys playtime, but her true happy place is simply being near you. She is the kind of puppy who will grow into a loyal, intuitive companion for someone who appreciates a tender heart and a peaceful presence. Aira – Female – Chocolate & Tan Currently weighing 3.93 lbs, Aira is our tiniest girl and expected to mature around 10–12 lbs full grown. Being the runt, she will likely remain a smaller-framed companion — though occasionally the smallest surprise us all with a little growth spurt. Even so, she should remain noticeably more petite than her siblings. She may be little, but her personality is anything but. She is bold in love. She will be the first to tug at your pant leg so you’ll lower yourself to her level — because in her mind, your lap is exactly where she belongs. She is incredibly bright, observant, and very people-oriented. If she can’t find you, she will absolutely let you know she’s looking for you. She bonds deeply and quickly, and her affectionate nature wins hearts instantly. Sweet as pie with a spark of sass, she will thrive with someone who adores an attached little shadow. Artie – Male – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.87 lbs, Artie is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown, likely being one of the larger siblings alongside Aria. He is my biggest personality and resident teddy bear. He is pure love wrapped in fluff. He has mastered the dramatic “sad puppy” look — especially when he’s gotten into something he shouldn’t have (like pulling fluff from a stuffie 😅). He commits fully to the performance, and it’s nearly impossible to stay upset for long. The moment he knows he’s forgiven, his tail starts wagging and he runs to you like life is perfect again. He is affectionate, playful, and has a soft, goofy charm that makes him unforgettable. He will grow into a loyal, fun-loving companion who keeps life light. Aero – Male – Tri-Color (Tan/Gray/White) Currently weighing 6.73 lbs, Aero is expected to mature around 16–18 lbs full grown, placing him right between the smaller and larger siblings. He is my clever little mastermind. Mischievous? Yes. Intelligent? Absolutely. He watches everything. You can almost see him planning his next move. His current hobby is dragging puppy pads to his bed and shredding them like a built-in paper shredder — and then attempting to convince me it wasn’t him (even when the evidence is literally stuck to his face 😆). He is sly, observant, and incredibly smart. His curiosity and problem-solving nature will flourish in a home that provides mental stimulation and consistent guidance. Underneath his antics is a bright, affectionate boy who just loves engagement. As with all mixed breeds, adult size is an educated estimate based on current growth and parental size, but slight variation is always possible as they mature. What we can confidently say is that they will remain in the small companion range — wonderful sizes for both active households and cozy homes alike. These babies are beautifully balanced — playful yet affectionate, intelligent yet eager to please. They are at the perfect age to bond deeply with their forever families and continue building confidence in a loving home environment. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/aero-artie-aria-aira Their adoption fee covers all veterinary care to date (vaccines including Bordetella, exam, fecal testing with negative lab results, microchips, health certificates), their daily care, socialization, and structured foundation while in our care. As always, a portion also goes back toward the spay and neuter of their parents — because without responsible follow-through, these little lives wouldn’t be possible 💞 If you feel drawn to one of them, tell us about yourself and the life you can offer. We are committed to making the absolute best match for each puppy and their future family.

Pending adoption 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 Freddie to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet Freddie, a gentle, soulful poodle mix (we were told he was a cockapoo, cocker spaniel/poodle mix, He has the hypoallergenic coat of a Poodle so you won't have to worry about shedding!) He is just about two years old now and weighs right around 16 pounds, and yes he is fully grown. Freddie is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines, and he’s been thoroughly vetted and cleared to find a home of his very own. Freddie came to us from a background that didn’t give him much opportunity to just be a dog. Because of that, he’s not the loud, demanding, center-of-attention type, instead, he’s quiet, observant, and incredibly thoughtful. In the home, he’s house trained and does great with regular potty breaks every few hours. He’s content to relax nearby, often keeping to himself, but when you invite him in for affection, he absolutely melts into it. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t push for love, but deeply cherishes it once it’s offered. Over the past several months, Freddie has made steady, meaningful progress with confidence. Leash walking is still something he’s building comfort with, but he’s come a long way and continues to improve with gentle guidance and consistency. New experiences can still feel big to him, but each day he shows more curiosity and courage. He enjoys spending peaceful time in the yard and is perfectly happy entertaining himself or lounging in a quiet space. Freddie isn’t trying to escape, he’s simply learned to take things at his own pace, and when he feels safe, his true personality shines. At night, Freddie sleeps calmly in his crate and settles in without issue. He also does well when left alone and doesn’t struggle with anxiety or restlessness. While he’s perfectly comfortable continuing with a crate routine, we can easily see him thriving with a cozy bed nearby or even beside his person once trust is fully established. He’s a dog who bonds deeply, just not instantly, and the connection he forms is sincere and lasting. Freddie would do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that confidence isn’t rushed and love doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. He’s not broken, shy, or difficult, he’s simply a dog who learned the world later than most and is still discovering how good life can be. In the right home, with a gentle heart and steady reassurance, he will continue to blossom into the wonderful companion we already know he is. Freddie’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/freddie-1 This reflects the veterinary care, daily care, training support, and time invested in helping him heal, grow, and prepare for a successful future. If you feel your home may be the safe, loving place Freddie has been waiting for, we’d love to hear more about you, your lifestyle, and your experience with the breed. Sometimes the quiet ones are the ones who love the deepest. Freddie is just waiting for someone to see him 🩵
