California Poodle Rescue - Available Now!

July 3rd, 2008 -  We are always very busy at Poodle Rescue with oodles of  poodles [and honorary poodles] of all shapes, sizes and colors. Many of the dogs we foster, especially Standard Poodles and Standard Poodle mixes like Labradoodles and Goldendoodles are NOT posted on the website.  Most times Standards and Standard mixes are placed with those who have an adoption application on file before the dogs arrive in rescue. 


We do our best to accept as many owner surrenders as possible so if for any reason you have a Poodle, a Goldendoodle or a Labradoodle that you can no longer care for please contact one of us:  Madeline 1 (805) 529-7405  • Heidi: 1 (805) 647-6432 • Marie 1 (805) 901-8696.


California Poodle Rescue is a small organization that saves aprox. 200 poodles from homelessness or euthanasia per year. We do NOT have a kennel facility -  dogs are fostered in one of 3 private homes.  In addition to pets and families of their own each of the foster parents have businesses of their own and/or jobs.  Please save and respect the volunteer foster parents' time by filling out an adoption application BEFORE phoning about any of the dogs.


Please note we do NOT ship dogs - if you live outside of So. California and are interested in adopting a dog from us please be prepared to travel to Ventura County, Southern California.  Small dogs may fly home with you under your seat in the cabin.  If you would like to adopt a large dog please be prepared to drive. Better yet, the need for loving permanent homes is great in all areas, so please check with rescue groups in your local area. 







Please Call!!!

*If you see a dog on our site that interests you....please call the person fostering that dog (Madeline or Heidi).  We are so behind in our applications that we do not have time to call each person.  When you call us, we will talk to you about your preferences and see if we have a match.  At that time we will make notes on your application.  Again, don't wait for us to call you...it might be a long wait!






Yogi - Goldendoodle

18 month old, long legged, blond, 60+ lb male Goldendoodle just arrived in rescue.  He has a sweet temperament and was raised with small children.  Yogi could use some basic obedience training but is house trained and eager to please.  For more information, please fill out an adoption application and then phone Madeline @ 805 529-7405.

*we are behind in our applications so please call if you are interested in this guy!!








Buddy - Toy Poodle

This little cutie lost his home when his elderly person had to move to a convalescent home.  He is a male Toy Poodle between 2 1/2 and 3 years old.  Cute as a button and ready for a new home.   For more information please fill out an online adoption application and then phone Madeline @ 805 529-7405.








Lucy - Poodle Mix

Lucy is a larger mini/mix of approx. 25-30 lbs and we guess between 9-11 months old.  She loves people and attention and will grab toys, run with her head held high, shaking it to show off a little bit.  A stunning look as you can see, she has a beautiful coat of black and white patches and full of curl.  Lucy needs a stable and active home where she is a big part of the action.  She is fine with kids and other dogs but can be a little bossy.  Lucy will be spayed asap and then ready to go to her new family.  For more info., please fill out an on line adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.








Winky - Miniature Poodle

4 month old Winky may look a little funny right now, but it is not his fault.  He has a bad haircut due to an eye surgery in which his eye was removed.  This sweet puppy was dropped at the shelter with an eye injury that had become horribly infected, to the point it could not be saved.  His eye was surgically removed and sewn shut.  This should not present any long term problems and he doesn't seem to notice or care.  Winky is a bouncing puppy who is full of love and kisses.  This is his "before" makeover picture because we cannot yet bathe him.  So for now he has to live with a half shaved face and head, but we think he is a doll anyway.  Do you have room in your home for this darling mini?  For more information, please fill out our adoption application and then phone Heidi @ 805 647-6432.








Max & Maxine - Maltipoo mix

These darling siblings are only 4 months old and full of puppy fun.  Both are all white and weigh approx. 8 lbs.  Max & Maxine were from an over crowded high kill shelter in the San Fernando Vally.  They are healthy now and ready for adoption.  We would love to send them off together, but they would also do well separated.  If you are interested in M & M, please fill out an on line adoption application and then be sure and follow up with a call to Heidi @ 805 647-6432.

Marley III - Bichon Frise/Poodle Mix

This darling boy is between 1-2 years old and a bundle of curls.  He is approx. 12 lbs. and adores his special people.   Jumps and wiggles when you come home and lives for your affection.   He is available now.  For more information please fill out an adoption application and then call Madeline at 805 529-7405.










Black Female Labrador Retriever

This pretty black labardor retriever is aprox. 1-year-old and like the rest of these dogs from High Standard Ranch, her first experience with a leash was when she was taken off the truck that was used to transport her from Fresno County to Ventura County.  She had her first taste of the good life with a romp in fresh green grass and a bowl full of good food.  Some lucky family will be richly rewarded with a very sweet and gentle girl. 

As with the other 11 dogs our favorite vet, Dr. Brad Patterson was standing by to do a full examination as each dog came off the truck.  We thank Brad not only for giving up his Saturday afternoon and evening to help us but also for letting us use his box van to transport these dogs. 

To see a little more of this girl please click here.  If you would like to be considered as a permanent loving home for this girl please first fill out an adoption application and then phone Madeline at 1 805 529 7405.

*we are behind in our applications so please call if you are interested!!








Rudy - Courtesy Cross Posting

Courtesy Cross Posting for Second Chance Pet Adoption

"Rudy" was dropped off to Second Chance Pet Adoption by a volunteer that found him wandering around in her yard. He is a Cock-A-Poo, approximately 10 months old (birthdate 8/1/07) and potty trained.  He is a very sweet, smart boy that learns very fast.  He is active because of his age and needs a home with a yard as he loves playing outside during the day.  Rudy is not a barker and loves other dogs and people. He is 20 lbs. and stands 15" tall at the top of his back and is fully grown.
He would be fine in a home with another playful dog larger than him or by himself. 

If you would like more information on “Rudy” or to find out more about fostering this darling puppy, please call Jan (foster mom) at 714-235-9393. An adoption application is required with Second Chance Pet Adoption.

Below is a recent photo of Rudy with his favorite chewy.....








Dixie - REWARD OFFERED

MISSING!!!!  Please help us locate this poor, scared rescue girl.  Dixie was from a puppy mill in the midwest.  A Kansas City rescue group was so inundated with puppy mill dogs, we transferred 9 Poodles to California for adoption.  She was adopted out April 19th to a home in Inglewood.  After living life in a cage, Dixie is very fearful and does not trust people.  She was frightened by a gardner and escaped.  She ran from her home on April 23rd and has not been seen since.  We have posted flyers and are checking the shelters but could use more help if you live in the area.  To help, please call Heidi @ 805 647-6432

 

 








Delilah - Goldendoodle

ADOPTED!!!

At 4 years old,  Delilah is through those puppy years and ready to make a nice companion for some lucky person or family.  You can see she is a sweet looking female doodle with a beautiful white coat that has that desirable curl of the Poodle.  Her natural tail and larger build show the true mix of the Golden Retriever.  If you would like to know more about this recent arrival, please fill out an adoption application and then phone Madeline @ 805 529-7405.

*we are behind in our applications so please call if you are wanting this girl!!

Logan - Miniature Mix

ADOPTED!!!

Logan almost 3 years old and is a white, male miniature poodle mix of approx. 13 lbs.   He has a natural tail as you can see in the bottom photo, but what you can't see is he was furiously wagging for my attention.  This bundle of curls is just adorable.  He is slightly shy, but once he knows you he is your best buddy.  Logan would prefer a calm household with no active children or rowdy pets.  Logan is very sweet and wants stability and security.  In return he would love to be your new best friend.  Logan is very nicely house trained and we haven't heard him bark yet.  If you are interested in meeting Logan, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone  Heidi @ 805 647-6432.








Zeke - Standard Poodle

ADOPTED!!!

Zeke came to rescue with his "sister" Lady.  They were well cared for and are both nicely house trained.  Zeke is a beautiful silver/beige male.  He is approx. 16 months old.  He would do best in a home with no toddlers.  For more information, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Madeline @ 805 529-7405.








Lady - Standard Poodle

ADOPTED!!!

Lady will be 2 years old in Aug.  She is a beautiful platinum/silver Standard Poodle.  Nicely house trained and very sweet.  She came in with her "brother", Zeke.  Great with older children but not toddlers.  For more information, please fill out our on line adoption application and then phone Madeline @ 805 529-7405.

Joey - Miniature Poodle

ADOPTED!!!

Joey is an cream/apricot Miniature Poodle.  He is under a year old and as sweet as they come.  Joey was surrendered by his busy family who felt he would be better in a home with someone who has more time for him.  Joey gets along with large and small dogs and is a fun, energetic guy. Please call  Madeline @ 805 529-7405.








Sugar - Standard Poodle

ADOPTED!!!

Sugar is a white female and she is 4 years old and approx. 50 lbs.  She can be a little timid at first and needs time to build trust.  Sugar has really started blossom and loves to hug and kiss.  She thrives on attention from people and gets along very well with other dogs.   She is not hyper and settles down nicely.    Sugar is a quick study and as sweet as her name.  For more information, please fill out an on line adoption application and then call Heidi @ 805 647-6432

ADOPTED!!!










39 to 75 Neglected Standard Poodles

March 15th, 2008: We drove from Ventura County to Squaw Valley, Fesno County, CA to take in 12 more of these dogs.  Mary Wittmer was finally charged in this case - and plea bargained her way out of the situation.

THANK YOU, it took a year but YOUR letters to the D.A. and the local press worked!

The 5 dogs posted above are all from this case.  If you are interested in adopting one of these dogs please fill out an adoption application.  Their before pictures and descriptions appear immediately below.

Want to see where the dogs were "housed" in 115 degree heat this past summer - and where they lived during snow storms this winter?

In Hope: An Animal Shelter Story

Thank you to Robert Valentine, a vet tech at the Ventura County Animal Shelter in Camarillo for creating this presentation and for sharing it with us all.

As a nation, we claim to love cats and dogs. Millions of households have pets, and billions of dollars are spent yearly on pet supplies and food. But as a nation, we should take a hard, sobering look at a different annual statistic: the millions of dogs and cats given up to shelters or left to die on the streets. And the numbers tell only half the story.

Every cat or dog who dies as a result of pet overpopulation—whether humanely in a shelter or by injury, disease, or neglect—is an animal who, more often than not, would have made a wonderful companion, if given the chance. Tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed. Here's information about this crisis and why spaying and neutering is the first step to a solution. -HSUS
