ALEXIS

8 Year old, 8lb., Female Toy

This little girl was at Animal Control and Florida Poodle Rescue was called.  Look at that face – would you say no?  We said yes because that is what we do.  Alexis, named by her foster, is a small girl, apricot colored and sweet as sweet can be. She loves to sit on your lap and give kisses. She likes to be held while riding in the car. She is leash and house trained.  She is not sure of the other dogs but she does sniff them (just saying hello).  She does not seem affected by the transition her life has had. She is the ultimate lap dog and will be perfect for a older person that wants to care for a little girl.

She will melt your heart and will be a loyal companion.

8 Year old, 13lb., Female, Mini, Bichon-Poodle mix.  

Although deaf she hears load noises like when you clap your hands.

GEORGIA PEACH

2 - 3 Year old, Female Mini

This little girl was found in a parking lot of a grocery store in South Georgia. Something has happened to her hind leg as it is swollen and smells awful.  The vet called just now and said the leg will have to be amputated. The foot is completely necrotic and the tissue comes off with the matted hair surrounding the foot.   

Before euthanizing her, the animal control asked if Florida Poodle Rescue could help her.   We now have her in our care and she is extremely thin.  Frighteningly thin 5+ lbs and she should probably weigh 12+lbs. She had to get a transfusion and that probably will help her a lot.  Her back right leg is the one that had to be amputated. She also got her teeth cleaned, her ears cleaned and got spade so her little body has had quite a trauma today.  She has some infections (ears) but she is heartworm negative. Her eyes are bright and she was so happy to be safe and warm and loved on.  She is on 2 antibiotics and pain medication.                                                                                                        

Once she has some fur on her lower body she will look worlds better.  She only has a little nub of a tail too. She hobbles around and is quite agile already; the only problem for her is if she shakes her head, she sometimes falls over!  She's quite gangly and needs to gain weight and strength... she's evidently eating well and she's on her way to being the healthy little girl that she deserves to be. The vet says she is probably 2- 3 years old and is a sweet adorable girl.  

2/17/2010 Update:

AKA "DOODLE"

The wonderful people at the vet's office named her DOODLE and she answers to it.

She got her stitches out Monday and she has gained a pound!  I gave her a quick bath so she is looking and feeling better.  Each day she seems more confident and secure -- and she's more curious and playful.   She would like to play with the other dogs but they won't play much.  She does enjoy her toys and snoozing in someone's lap.  I have her in either a T-Shirt or sweater at all times because it's quite chilly here.  She's housetrained and will come and sit on command.  What a little angel!

3/7/2010 Update:

It's now been a month and Doodle is doing wonderfully in every way.   She's getting confidence and I'm taking her on short walks to gain stamina.  Kids especially are pretty amazed to see her move right along on three legs... she's an inspiration!  She met her first cat and was curious but not intimidated in the least.   She's ready to find her forever home.. I'd love to find someone here in the Panhandle area.  She will be an easy and loving addition to any family.

Estimated costs are $1,500.00 to get her healthy.  

        She will be eternally grateful if you can find it in you heart to make a donation.

MONET

10 Year old, Male, 12lb. Mini

He has cataracts but can see shadows. He has the sweetest disposition of any poodle I've fostered. He's a lap dog and just wants to be close. Monet was found wandering the streets of Pasco County and taken to animal control. A vet refused to euthanize him because he was in such good shape and had a remarkable personality. She took him home and gave him all his medical treatment. He was then turned into Florida Poodle Rescue to help find him a loving forever home.

PIXCEE

 5 – 6 Year old, Female, Poodle-Dachshund mix.  Short legs, a long body and the face and ears one a dachshund.   

PIXCEE’S STORY

I was reluctantly given up by my Mom because she can no longer take care of me.  I miss her very much. I just want someone I can love. I want to sit on your lap or follow you around the house. I love sleeping in a warm bed with you and do not move around very much. I am calm and do fine with other dogs and cats. Sometimes I even like to sit on your shoulder to watch TV or see what you are reading. I am pretty well house trained. I go to the door and if you open it, I will go out, do my business and come right back looking for you. I am 5 or 6 years old and have a cataract in one eye, but I see find out of the other one. Don't worry, I will find you and stay close. I would love a quiet home where I can snuggle with you all day long.

RHETT

9 Year old, 9 1/2lb, Male Mini that was turned in because his parents could not take him to their Condo.

Foster Mom's story: On the first night he followed them around everywhere. When I sit down he wants me to pick him up so he can be beside me. I think my young ones play is a little loud for him because they really get going sometimes but it was his first day. He loves the toys and he loves to play with a ball - he will pick it up and drop it and then push it forward with his nose like he is throwing it to you. He slept in the dog bed I put beside my bed, didn't make a peep all night. The noise he has made is I picked him up a couple of times when he was relaxed and probably didn't want to move and made a low small growl and I told him no and he stopped. There was no aggression like I seen with Brody. Brody was teeth out snorting and coming at you.
So far he has wanted nothing but to be with you and you to love him.

SMOOCHIE

3 Year Old Male Mini

He likes Beneful dog food - prefers it mixed with Rice, Chicken and vegetables but will eat it plain.  His Foster Mom cooks up Rice and Chicken to mix with the dog food to give the dogs a more complete diet.

House trained as long as he is allowed to go outside every few hours. If you have a fenced back yard all you need to do is open the door and ask him if he needs to potty - if he does he will go right out.  Walks very nice on a leash and is used to at least two walks a day of at least 20 minutes each time.  Have not found a dog or cat yet that he does not get along with and loves all the people he meets but may be a little leery with someone new for about 10 minutes.  Loves to sit on your lap and just have attention—have belly rubbed, ears scratched and just be petted.

He is just learning how to play now, he has tried to play with other dogs a few times but thinks he gets scared and stops. If there are other dogs around I think it would only be a short time till they were playing together. 

We see no aggression, in fact when I take his food or toys away - he just looks at me as if to say "That was mine".

As you are eating at the table he will sit there and watch you but does not whine or beg.

Loves squeaky toys, has started to play tug of war with some of the bigger stuffed animals.

As he gets to know you, he will follow you around like a small shadow just waiting for a pat on the head or for you to talk to him.

Responds to the names – Smoochie - Moochie and Moocher.  He is a fast learner, knew No commands when he arrived here—in a few days he learned the basics, sit, lay, stay and back.

Appears to be very good with kids—when we encounter kids during our walks and they come up to him, he greets them with kiss's and a happy smile—no growls even when they startle him.

He will be a very nice companion and friend for life.
