Name: Phoebe
Size: Toy
Age: 5 years
Gender: Female

Fenced Yard
Housebroken
No Children

Phoebe is a sweet little 8 pound toy poodle who is 5 years old. She is a bit timid, but is gaining more confidence each day. She loves affection and enjoys sitting in your lap. She is not demanding though, and will go lay in her bed if you are busy and wait patiently for you. She loves to be patted and will kiss your hand to show her appreciation.

Phoebe gets along with other dogs and is fine with cats. She walks well on a leash, is good in the car, and enjoys going wherever you go. Since she is shy and frightens easily, Phoebe would do best in an adult only household without a lot of commotion. She likes to be held and feels secure in your arms. Once she feels safe and comfortable, her tail wags a mile a minute!

Phoebe is up-to-date on her shots and will be ready to go to her new home after she has been spayed and has a dental cleaning. She is such a gentle and loving poodle, and craves to be someone's special girl.

Phoebe is being fostered in MA and her adoption donation is $300

Name: Trevor
Size: Standard
Age: 1 year
Gender: Male

Fenced Yard Required
Housebroken
Crate Trained

Trevor had a long journey to his foster home in Massachusetts. He was in a "high kill shelter" in the south, where he was rescued by a local group and sent north to start a new life. He had suffered from pneumonia and weighed 29 pounds at a year old. When he arrived at his adoptive home, Trevor's condition and special needs were more than his new owners were prepared to handle. They cared deeply about him and enabled his arrival to PRNE.

Trevor's condition improved rapidly and he is now 39 pounds with a sparkling brown coat. He is a happy, energetic, playful puppy who spends many hours a day wrestling with his two year-old foster brother. Trevor has a spinal/pelvic deformity that was probably due to trauma. He has a wide-based gait in his rear that in no way hinders his ability to run like the wind. His tail goes off to the side, but causes him no problems. Trevor has been examined by a neurologist and orthopedist who both have determined he is in no pain. There is every reason to believe he will live a full and happy life. He is gaining strength and developing muscle in his hind end.

Trevor is a happy, affectionate boy who, despite his difficult start, loves and enjoys life. He would enjoy a home with another dog for a buddy. His foster mom is in awe of his resilience and knows whoever adopts Trevor will have a special boy, indeed!

Trevor is being fostered in MA. and his adoption donation is $400

Size: Toy
Age: 4 months
Gender: Male

ADOPTION PENDING!

Fenced Yard Required
No Children

Meet Sky....a bouncy little four month old toy poodle puppy with a wonderful disposition. He has a fluffy white coat with apricot markings on his ears and tail. He weighs only three pounds now and probably will end up being about 5-6 pounds fully grown.

Sky likes to play with other small dogs, but would be just as happy being an only dog as long as his people would play with him and give him lots of attention. He is very affectionate and likes to sit in your lap and give you little kisses to show how much he loves you. He enjoys sleeping in bed with his foster parents and will sleep through the night quietly. Sky is learning to walk on a leash and is very good in the car. He is also doing extremely well with his housebreaking!

Sky would like a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play safely. He would also like someone home for most of the day to spend time with him and continue with his training. Since Sky is so tiny, he would do best in an adult home without any big dogs or children.

Once Sky has been neutered, he will be ready to go to his forever home. He is being fostered in Massachusetts and his adoption donation is $500.

Name: Flash
Size: Toy
Age: 7 years
Gender: Male

Flash is a 7 year old, 5 1/2 pound, silver colored toy poodle who found himself in our care after his owner passed away. Flash came in with horrendous teeth (see the Recovery Room page) and has undergone two surgeries to remove his teeth and correct the holes left in his jaw bone from years of dental neglect.

Flash is a show dog - in every sense of the word! He prances around after his Foster brothers and sisters and loves to be at the center of attention. He adores people. Flash is just as happy curled up in his foster mother's lap as he is snuggling with another poodle (or two)! Flash would like a home with at least one other dog (he gets along very well with Gizmo) and someone around during the day to keep him company and shower him with lots of love and affection. If you think you might be the one for Flash, please fill out an application.

Flash is being fostered in MA.

Name: Gizmo
Size: Mini
Age: 8 Years
Gender: Male

Gizmo is an 8 year old, cream colored mini poodle. He and his sister were taken to the shelter when his owner passed away. Gizmo's sister was adopted out but poor Gizmo remained in the shelter for a few months before he came to PRNE. Gizmo is a sweet, kind and loving gentleman who's only "issue" is that he has epilepsy. Fortunately for Gizmo, his epilepsy is controlled beautifully by daily medication. He's had a complete veterinary work-up and just had a dental so he's ready to go to his new home immediately! Gizmo is perfect on a leash and loves to go for walks. He would very much like a home where someone is around during the day and if there's another dog to keep him company, that would be a plus. Gizmo is being fostered in the Boston area.

Name: Skipper
Size: Small Mini—10 lb
Age: 3 Years
Gender: Male

Fenced Yard Required
Housebroken

“There’s nothing that a lot of kisses can’t fix!”

Skipper is a happy, charming, outgoing and energetic young dog that loves going for car rides and enjoys running in the yard and rolling in the grass clippings until he’s green! Skipper needs a fenced-in yard so he can zip around in a safe place. Inside, he’s just as active; he jumps over the baby gate and sits on his foster mom’s desk when he wants attention. Skipper’s favorite activity is playing with his toys. His ideal home would be with a dog-savvy person who is home part of the day to play along with him. He’s a quick learner: he knows sit, stay, and leave it, and he comes when called—most of the time. (Sometimes he’s busy, you know!) Going to training classes would give him something to do with all of that enthusiasm. In return, Skipper will be a devoted companion, eager to please and able to win the hearts of everyone he meets.

ame: Ashley
Size: Toy
Age: 6 Years
Gender: Female

Fenced Yard Required
Cannot Be Crated
Requires Housetraining Support

After spending the first 6 years of her life in a cage in a puppy mill, the stress and lack of proper care affected Ashley’s ability
to produce any more puppies and she became expendable. A kind soul bought Ashley from the breeder and brought her to PRNE. When Ashley arrived, she was very skinny and sick so she spent a few days at the vet hospital before she was strong enough to go to her foster home. Now that Ashley’s finally out of the cage environment, she’s very curious about everything and she craves human contact. Ashley follows her foster mother from room to room. She loves to snuggle and cuddles herself against her foster mother’s neck when being held. But she’s not a couch potato! Ashley enjoys interacting with her poodle foster brothers and sisters, and now that she’s learned about toys, you should see her play!

Ashley requires a fenced-in yard, as well as someone around during the day. Because she was caged for the first 6 years of her life Ashley does not like to be crated – nor should she ever be. Due to her puppymill experiences, Ashley does not yet understand that it's not okay to "mark" inside the house. With time, patience, and loving and consistent structure she may learn "Housebreaking 101" but she will need an understanding home that will use a positive approach to training her and will understand that she may never be perfectly housetrained (although we think she's just perfect the way she is.)

Name: Jack
Size: Toy, 10 lbs.
Age: 2 Years
Gender: Male

Housebroken
Crate trained
Fenced yard required

Jack thinks life is too short not to have fun! He greets every day with puppy joy and he wants a home with another active dog to play with. Jack hasn't had much experience with cats, but appears not to have a problem with them. Jack loves to run! In his foster home he runs laps around the yard and plays tag with his canine companions for hours. In addition to dog play time, Jack expects one-on-one time with his people. He loves physical contact; snuggling and lap-snoozing are his favorite down-time activities. Jack is ready to learn leash walking and basic obedience commands. While group training might be too distracting for him ("Hey, wanna play?") individual training would be great. Jack is also ready to expand his exposure to humans and would appreciate opportunities to meet new people, especially men, in a quiet and calm environment. If your ideal companion is a bouncy, loving, snuggling ball of energy, then Jack's your boy.

Jack is being fostered in MA and his adoption fee is $400.

Name: Mickey

Name: Cooper
Size: Mini
Age: 8 Years (approx)
Gender: Male

Housebroken
Crate Trained
Fenced Yard Required
No Children

Cooper was found living in the woods as a stray. At one time he had sustained a crippling injury that was successfully treated by PRNE through surgery and rehabilitation. He has thrived in his foster home and is learning how to trust people again.

Cooper is reliably housebroken, crate trained, and understands basic commands. He’s full of joy; he loves to play with his ball, take walks in the woods, and snuggle on someone’s lap for a snooze from time to time. This beautiful and courageous little dog needs a home with dog-savvy people where he will be the sole object of their affection. Cooper is curious about everything, so a fenced yard where he can play and roam is required. He’s very attentive and wants to constantly be with his people. We’ll never know how Cooper lost his home, but it is apparent that throughout his difficult period of abandonment, he didn’t lose his capacity to love.

Cooper is being fostered in SE MA and his adoption donation is $300.

If you would like to close the circle for Cooper by giving him the forever home that he’s waited so long to find, please read our Adoption Process and fill out an application.

Cooper has an angel!

Name: Gretta
Size: Standard
Age: 4 years
Gender: Female

Gretta needs a very special home. At 3 years old she was unsocialized, fearful and not even housebroken. She found herself in a kennel when her owner became ill and it was more than she could bear. She was deemed unsafe to deal with and it was recommended she be euthanized. Gretta became the first guest at Jack's House and she came to be evaluated and if possible, socialized and trained. Even the professionals were skeptical and it was thought that it would take up to a year to make much headway with her.

Gretta has turned out to be a very special girl. She immediately won the hearts of her foster family once she warmed up to them and has grown so much in the last 6 months! She is funny, smart and very much still a puppy at heart. She continues to need a lot of training and socialization as she sometimes reverts back to her old habits but her progress has been good. She needs a lot of exercise and is the hunter-type standard poodle - always on the move. She is prey driven but has been able to be with some small dogs. Cats and other small animals are a definite no! An all adult home is a must as well as a fenced yard ( no invisible ) so she can run and play and chase her tennis ball or frisbee - which she absolutely loves!

Gretta needs a very dog savvy person but someone who will let her grow at her own pace, and appreciate her for who she is, even if she does not ever become the perfect dog.

Gretta is in central MA and her adoption fee is $300.

In memory of Gloria Sax

After two years in foster care and many health issues, Caesar is going to remain permanently in his foster home. He's quite a little character who feels right at home and at this stage of his life we think it would not be in his best interest to uproot him again.

Caesar will require daily medication, as well as regular medical care and grooming so we are looking for some very special angels to help us out. Please consider making a contribution to help defray some of his expenses. He is such a sweet and charming little guy. Watch for updates as he enjoys the status of a being in a permanent home! Feel free to e-mail his foster mother if you have any questions (poodlerescue@poodlerescuene.org) and thank you from the bottom of Caesar's heart!
