Poodle Rescue of California Sept. 1, 2010


Poodle Rescue of Southern California is a small volunteer rescue organization.  We specialize in helping poodles of all sizes, Toy, Miniature and Standard Poodles.  When ever possible we also rescue labradoodles, goldendoodles, and small poodle mixes.


OWNER SURRENDERS:  We try to accept as many owner surrenders as possible.   If you have a poodle, a goldendoodle or a labradoodle that you can no longer care for and are looking for help re-homing your dog, please consider a few things BEFORE you contact us.


  1. Am I really ready?  We are very busy and do not have time to counsel you on your decision.  Please talk to friends, neighbors or family if you are unsure and do what is best for you and your dog. 
  2. Can I drive the dog to Ventura County to drop off my dog?  If not, you need to call a transport company OR talk to us about options. 
  3. We CAN assure you if we have the responsiblity of re-homing your dog, we will find the best possible home for him or her.

          Picture right:  Meet one of our 2009 rescue dogs, standard poodle Leia.  Her friends can call her princess.  She is now a certified therapy dog and stays very busy helping to lift the spirits of those in need.  Who wouldn't smile if they met our girl Leia?

    ADOPTING OUR POODLES:  


    1. Scroll down and look below to see our current dogs.
    2. Fill out and submit our online adoption application. 
    3. Call the person fostering the dog you are interested in adopting or keep checking our site until you see a dog you like and then call.  DO NOT wait for us to call you.

    ADOPTION FEE:  Services to care for sick and injured animals are not cheap and require a lot of time, effort and money.  There is an adoption fee ranging from $50 to $500 for our poodles and mixes.  As you can imagine our incoming dogs have every imaginable illness and injury and we make sure to get them healthy and in an adoptable state.  In addition, all of our dogs are spay/neutered, have shots, grooming and microchip.  Our funding system is called "averaging".  Your adoption fee not only helps support your rescue dog, but also helps the medically needy and older dogs.  One dog may only cost us $100 in Vet. services while another may cost us $2,000 or more.  Old dogs are less and our puppies, standards and standard mixes are usually $500, with the average adoption for mini's and toy's fee being $300 - $350. 


    OUT OF STATE:  We do adopt to people out of the area, but you need to be willing to drive or fly to Ventura County in Southern California to meet and adopt one of our dogs.  If you fly, you will need to have an airline approved kennel and the dog will need a transportation health certificate.


    Please Call!  We are behind in our applications so it really helps to call the person fostering the dog you are most interested in adopting.  Madeline  1 (805) 529-7405 • Heidi: (unavailable)






MOLLY & HER MALE PUPPY


MOLLY and HER PUP

For those of you who have wondered where "Alpine Female1" went so fast, she was just a little too pregnant to spay and has been on maternity leave.  So here she is pictured with her last male puppy who is still available for adoption.  They are seven weeks old now and are available for adoption, but cannot leave for one more week.  If you are interested in adopting Molly or her last available puppy, just call.  Molly has been a perfect mom, but now deserves to be someone else's baby and have a little pampering of her own.

MOLLY has been adopted, but her male puppy is still available. He is ready to go to his new home at any time!   Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405







SUKIE


SUKIE--Brown Toy Male

SUKIE is a purebred brown toy male Poodle, four years old.  He came to us when his elderly owner passed away.  He weighs aproximately 8-9 pounds and is very friendly to people, loves children and gets along with other dogs.  He is housebroken and in good health.  He is very affectionate and needs someone who wants a total companion.

BELLA


BELLA---Female Toy Poodle Mix

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405








SUMMER WHITE SALE!!!!

We are having a SUMMER WHITE SALE on the following five white dogs: Marangue, Frisky and the three Dumpster Dogs.  All five were abandoned by their former "owners."  We are reducing our regular adoption fee by $100 in an effort to help these sweethearts get into their very own loving forever homes.

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405







DUMPSTER DOGS before & after


THE DUMPSTER DOGS

These three darling Toy Poodles (or possible Malti-poos) were found in a CLOSED DUMPSTER behind a grocery store!  We scrubbed the garbage off of them and out popped the adorable little fluffs you see in the bottom photo.  There are two females and one male, all under 10 pounds.  One female is older--possibly 5 or 6 years.  The male and the other female are probably under 2 years.  It's quite possibly a mom and her two grown puppies.  They are crate trained, and could perhaps be housebroken.  All are very sweet with people and get along with other dogs.

Note to whoever dumped these dogs:  It is AGAINST THE LAW to abandon an animal.  It is especially despicable to put animals in a DUMPSTER where they will die an excruciating death in a 140 degree garbage-filled OVEN!  There was an animal shelter less than 10 minutes from where you threw away these darlings! 

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405







MERANGUE (Alpine Female 2)


MERANGUE (Alpine Female 2)

These four dogs were found wandering together in the hills above Alpine, California.  All are poodle mixes--possibly mixed with Maltese, Bichon or Terrier.  "Alpine 2" is friendly and sweet and good with other dogs.  She has lost the sight in one eye,  possibly due to trauma or glaucoma, but it doesn't stop her from loving everyone.  She is approximately 4-5 years old.  What a sweetheart!

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405 







FRISKY (Alpine Male 1)


FRISKY(Alpine Male 1)

FRISKY is about 2 years old and approximately 12 pounds.  Also sweet and gentle, good with everyone and other dogs.

RALPH


RALPH--Male Disney Doodle

RALPH is back!  RALPH is a male Poodle mix between a miniature and a standard in size--about 25 pounds.  He is not quite three years old.  He just returned to us when his owner moved into a Condo with no yard for Ralph to run in.  Ralph is very affectionate and loving, but prefers women and older children.  He has a beautiful soft non-sheding coat.  He loves to follow you everywhere and will be a wonderful companion.

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405







CHIQUITA & RAMBO


HONORARY POODLES CHIQUITA & RAMBO

CHIQUITA (the blond female) and RAMBO (the black male) are 5 pound chihuahuas approximately one year old.  They are incredibly sweet!  When they came to us, their former owner was going to have them euthanized because Rambo needed leg surgery and they needed spaying, neutering and vaccines.  Their owner didn't want to spend the money and didn't want them anymore.  We asked if we could put them into our rescue program and find good homes for them and he signed them over to us.  Rambo has had a successful knee surgery, both have been neutered and all their vaccines are up-to-date.  They were so timid and afraid when they first came, but now they are the most outgoing, happy little guys you've ever seen.  It is not necessary that they be adopted together, but they sure love each other!

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405










Juliette - Mini Poodle Mix

Sweet, sweet, sweet!  Demure little Juliette is looking for a forever home.  She and Romeo were both pulled from the shelter at the last minute...if you know what I mean?  She is a darling gray and white parti poodle mix, 3 years old and about 16 lbs.  She was not adopted at the shelter because she has a skin issue that was determined to be mange.  Mange caused hair loss, redness, open sores and she just looked old and hagard.  Juliette has been improving daily with treatment and is now available for adoption.  As you can see, she is beautiful even with some hair loss.  She is very quiet, house trained with supervision and gets along with other dogs.  All she wants is a little of your time, love and affection.  For more information, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.










Pumpkin - Miniature Poodle

Cute little Pumpkin is a male apricot small miniature poodle.  He is approx. 8 years old and 10 lbs.  Unfortunately Pumpkin was placed in a loving home 2 years ago but his companion passed away and he was returned to us.  Pumpkin is a well mannered guy who is used to having a constant older companion.  Call Heidi at 805 647-6432.










Allan - Miniature Poodle

Looking for a dog that is good with cats? other dogs? kids?  Mr. Allan is a perfect gentleman and would love  to be your new family member.  He is a miniature mostly poodle, apricot and approx. 20 lbs.  Allan loves to snuggle and watch T.V. or play fetch in the yard.  He is about 3 years old and eager to find his forever home.  If you are interested in Allan, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.










Toby - Fostered in Santa Barbara Co.

No, I'm not a poodle but boy I'm cute.  Toby is around 3 years old, 15 lbs. and most resembles a Dandy Dinmont/Cocker Spaniel mix.  He has a wavy coat with black markings and will need regular grooming.  Toby is great on a leash, loves his walks and car rides and he is 100% house trained.   Toby is very shy at first but once he feels safe and gets to know you he is eager for affection.   He is very good with other dogs and cats.  If he leaves the house he stays right by your side, comes and sits on command.  This guy is healthy and ready for adoption.   For more information, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432. 










Romeo - Toy Poodle

OH Romeo - how could someone abandon such a sweet little lover?  He has a gorgeous black coat and smart little prance.  This darling black poodle was dumped by his family at the Carson Shelter.  At 9 years and 9 lbs. he is a pint sized cuddle bug.  He has good house manners and loves his meals.   This guy is still quite spry and our volunteer thought he was only 5 years.  For more info. on this guy, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.










Salty & Sandy - Pomeranians

These two scallywags were dumped at the beach.  Two children saw a man pull into the parking lot, put down a cup of water and some kibble, throw out 2 dogs and speed away.   Sandy is a little timid at first, but once you start to pet him he will put his paw up to signal you to keep going.   We believe these guys are about 7 years old, most likely brothers and pure bred Pomeranians.  These two are very good together but so far we have not been able to find a home willing to take both boys.  If someone will take both boys we will lower the adoption fee from $200 to  $150 each to make it more affordable.  We may have to consider splitting them up in the near future, but that would be a last resort.  We have given them full dentals, shots, chip and neuters.  For more information, please call Heidi @ 805 647-6432.








ADOPTED!! 

THE FOLLOWING DOGS HAVE BEEN RECENTLY ADOPTED.  CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE HAPPY DOGS AND THEIR NEW OWNERS!







FAITH


FAITH--Apricot Standard Female Survivor

FAITH is the name we chose for this couregous, wonderful female Standard Poodle survivor.  She is one of  three red/apricot females we rescued together from the shelter.  While I waited in line getting the paperwork for the three we were adopting, I was informed that this one was in the process of having puppies.  I repeatedly asked if I could go back to be with her and assist her, but I was told "No".  Due to a mixup in the paperwork of one of the other two, who was thought to be a male but was actually a female, the paperwork left me standing in line for almost two hours.  When I was finally allowed to go back and get the mom out, only four of her 12 puppies had survived.  As you can see from the photo, it is a miracle that any lived, the mother included.  Her hip bones and ribs stick out and it is evident that she was very malnourished while she tried to grow those twelve puppies inside her. 

Call Madeline @ 805-529-7405







FAITH and her 4 Surviving Puppies


FAITH---Apricot Female Standard

Here's our wonderful FAITH, 10 days later, 7 pounds heavier and two baths cleaner!  She has settled her family right in and her personality is just blossoming!   What a sweetheart!!  Her puppies are fat and contented. Two of her puppies have been reserved, so there are two left for adoption. They are all boys. They will be able to go to their new homes on September 12th.

FAITH and her four puppies have been adopted!!







DEXTER


DEXTER--Male Blond Cockapoo

DEXTER is an extremely sweet male blond Cockapoo.  He is housebroken and gets along with other dogs and LOVES kids, even little toddlers.  He is two years old and weighs about 14 pounds.  Here he is sporting a new summer haricut.

ADOPTED!!!







SKIPPER


SKIPPER--Male Miniature

Here is SKIPPER with his new Poodle makeover.  What a handsome guy!   He's approximately 18 months old and about 12-14 pounds.  He is extremely sweet and affectionate and good with other dogs and loves children.  He's leash broken, crate trained, and is supposed to be housebroken.

ADOPTED!!










Waldo - Mix

ADOPTED!!!

My name is Waldo and I'm just as handsome as they come.  Waldo is between 3-5 years old, about 22 lbs. with a wavy non-shedding coat.  Some say I look like a Scotti/Poo, others say a Cockapoo but I'm not sure what I am and it doesn't matter because I'm a real show stopper.   I love to be outside roaming the yard, walks on the leash, sleeping on the bed, but I prefer to be where ever my people are.  Other dogs are fun, but people are the best!     He is so sweet and loves to snuggle.  For more information on Waldo, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.







THELMA and LOUISE


THELMA and LOUISE

ADOPTED!!!

THELMA and LOUISE are female poodle mixes, approximately 5 months old.  They were found hiding in the brush of a nearby canyon.  After a bath to remove the fleas and ticks, they settled in with a nice hot meal and a warm bed.  They are very friendly and sweet and will be small miniature sized---approximately 12 pounds, when fully grown. 

Thelma and Louise have both been adopted. 







CLETUS


CLETUS--Male Apricot Standard

CLETUS (feel free to change his name) is an Apricot Standard male, approximately 13 months old.  He was dumped in someone's yard after being hit by a car.  The laceration on his hip was stitched up, but his severely broken leg was not fixed.  Our guess is that after being hit, the owners were told the cost to have his leg repaired and they decided to just have the laceration sutured, and then left him in someone's yard with the hope that someone would take card of his expensive orthopedic work.  It didn't work out that way.  He has been fostered by someone without having his broken leg corrected.  Unfortunately he was also being left alone in a house for eight+ hours each day and has been very unhappy.  He expressed his unhappiness by eating the window sills.  He is now in rescue.  His vaccines have been brought up to date, he has been microchipped, and we have taken a new set of X-rays.   We have consulted with two orthopedic Veterinarians who agree that as long as he is using his leg as well as he is, nothing additional should be done.

Cletus is exceptionally sweet, supposedly housebroken and gets along with other dogs, little ones included.  If you have been waiting for a standard who will be safe around your little dogs, this is the one.

ADOPTED!!
