Holly would love to be in a home with a retired peron who loves to go for short walks and likes to have Holly sit in her lap and sleep on a pillow next to her. She is so small and likes a quiet life with not too much hustle and bustle, a fenced in yard would be prefered.

Please know that Poodles live very long lives, the oldest one on record is 27 years old, so 8 years old is a spring chicken and just right for a retired, slower paced person who will be around to love her.

Holly is spayed, up to date on vaccines, she will be micro chipped and given a dental so will have sweet breathe for lots of kisses.
She travels well in a car and loves to go with you and be a constant companion.

Requirements to adopt Holly

• Please be retired and home to give Holly the attention and time she craves

• Let her come with you when she can

• A fenced in yard is prefered

If you have filled out an application previously and are interested in Holly please call us as we are VERY busy and need a call to match you together. Thank you.

Penuche had to go back into Angel Memorial due to a gastric bleed which is like a stomach ulcer, due to the steroids. He spent the night there and was cared for by his neurologist Dr Farabaugh. He is now doing great and this was a mere hiccup in his long term recover of Meningitis, which he is now in remission. It has put back his adoption date as we want him to be perfect when we adopt him. He lost a little weight which he has now gained back and is playing and happy. We continue to wean him extremely slowly off the steroids, so he will continue to be in remission. Our hospital bill for the overnight and his care was $1,000 so please consider making a donation to help pay his bill. Thank you. Penuche is such a sweet boy, and even Dr Farabaugh who is a big guy goo goo's and baby talks and loves him. OK we just outed Dr Farabaugh who is a big softy with Penuche, LOL we love him for everything he has done for Penuche. Thank you.

About Penuche

Penuche is a tiny little 4lb teacup cream/apricot male Poodle. He is 2 1/2 years old. He is gentle and sweet and loves to cuddle, his favorite thing to do is to be with his human all the time, and he loves to go in a backpack and go everywhere with you. We do not endorse handbag dogs but Penuche loves just going everywhere and came with his little backpack. Penuche loves other dogs and can be found playing with toys and running around the garden. He is a well trained and behaved little boy with excellent manners that will be accepted wherever he is taken. Totally potty trained. Because Penuche is not ready to be adopted we are not accepting applications or calls regarding his adoption at this time.

The requirements for his adoption will be posted at that time.
Penuche came into Toy Poodle Rescue about two weeks ago, we received a call from his owner saying that Penuche was in terrible pain and could not move and although the owner had been to the vets and put on antibiotics he was not getting better and was crying in pain and the owner could not afford to do extensive care for him and begged us to help.

I picked up Penuche that day and knew immediately that he would need to see a neurologist and I knew exactly who to call, Dr Farabaugh at Angel Memorial. After running and getting X-rays done with Dr Woolfson to take with me, we headed off to see Dr Farabaugh and he guessed right away what might be Penuche's problem and he was right, Penuche has Meningitis.

We had to get a spinal tap done and blood work and Penuche had to stay over night and I picked him up the next day. Penuche is now pain free BUT he has to be on steroids for 6 months and gradually decrease the dose over that time.

Penuche went back for his first of several blood tests to check liver values on 2/3/10 and is doing great. We will continue his treatment and in 5 1/2 months Penuche will be ready to be adopted. So far the treatment for Penuche is over $1,600 and we estimate total we will need to raise $2,000 to pay for his care. We have transfered the money from Angels fund over to Penuche's and we have enough money to pay for his care.

Thank you to all who contributed to Angel and Penuche

Ruby is a black tiny teacup Poodle. She is a tiny 4.3lbs lbs and full grown at 12 months old. She is AKC registered and comes with her papers and pedigree. The breeder kept her, but she is too small to breed so will be placed into her forever home through Toy Poodle Rescue.

Ruby is just very sweet, totally passive and relaxed, a very easy going confident little girl, who loves to be held and snuggled. Ruby also loves to be outside, she is not a handbag, inside dog. Her personality has bloomed and although she loves to snuggle she loves running around in the garden and chasing birds and squirrels, hence you must have a fenced in yard to adopt her.  She is a very pretty girl with beautiful features, perfect conformation and a wonderful temperament. She has been with other dogs and does well, they should be close in size and same temperament, so she would not feel intimidated.

Such a loyal little girl with a big spirit and gentle soul. She just had a recheck at the vets and has put on weight and is healthy with no issues at all.

Requirements to adopt Ruby

• No children, no exceptions she is just too small   
• No dogs larger than 10lbs in the home, and gentle sweet temperaments only   
• Be home most or all of the day  
• Have experience with small dogs    
• We will only adopt her within the state of Massachusetts (WITHOUT EXCEPTION).  
• Physical Fully Fenced in yard required (not an electric fence). WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
• Please do not apply if you do not have a fully fenced in yard, as Ruby loves to play and run outside while attended.

Nappy is just the sweetest, sweetest little boy he loves everyone and everything, he is calm, easy going and laid back, loves to snuggle and nuzzle you, he is just so grateful to be happy and healthy. He loves toys and carrying them around, he wants to know where you are and will gravitate to each room you move to, but not in an overly needy fashion he just wants to be close in case you need a quick snuggle, in between laundry loads.

Nappy also loves other dogs and needs at least one to love and bond with, he wants to share a bed and a kiss and snuggle with another dog and we will only adopt him to a home with a like minded dog, who will accept him.

Napoleon is a white, 5 year old 8lb Toy Poodle, because of his history though we have decided to place him locally in state. Nappy came to us heartworm positive but was treated and is now negative with no issues at all from the treatment. He is housebroken and knows some commands. When Napoleon was vetted, it was noticed that his left back leg was a little shorter and under x-ray was found to have had an old fracture of his pelvis and leg that probably happened during his birth and had fused back together, by itself, Nappy walks normally and you would not be able to tell but every now and again when he runs he lifts it up or skips. We have had him evaluated by our orthodpedic surgeon and he does not feel anything is needed to be done. We have the reports from the surgeon and that will go in his history folder when he goes to his forever home.

The perfect home would be with someone who has another little laid back doggie (Nappy loves Monique) so he has company as he loves other dogs and would be lonely as an only child. So we are only going to consider homes that have another dog of a laid back nature that is the same size as Napoleon, no puppies please. Having someone around during the day also as he loves human contact and wants to be in your lap if you decide to sit. He also loves to ride in the car and go for walks. He curls right up to you in bed at night and sits watching T.V. on the couch with you. We just cannot say enough nice things about Nappy Noodle. He was recently adopted but came back to us as the home he was adopted to their current dog did not want as much snuggleing and bonding that nappy needs. So he is back up for adoption.

Requirements to adopt Napoleon

• Live in the state of Massachusetts

• Be home for most of the day

• Have a second same size/age dog for company, bonding and will allow snuggleing in a doggie bed together.
  
  Consider adopting Monique with me

Monique can find you in any room, she is not shy about walking or moving like many blind/compromised dogs. She is a love bug and is a lap sitter and cuddler, she is an extremely pretty dog with the most amazing white cotton candy thick coat. She loves to go for walks on leash and will walk right next to you. Monique needs someone who understands her condition and realizes this is not detrimental to her life or longevity and should the acupuncture not be successful we will revert to other methods both conventional and allopathic.
Monique and Napoleon have become fast friends, he washes her and snuggles with her in a doggie bed together when a lap is not available. Nappy would work as a wonderful leader dog for Monique and we would give preference to someone who would like to adopt both of them, although it is not necessary.

We would like there to be another same size and temperament dog in the home for Monique to bond with.

Monique is totally potty trained but did regress when we placed her previously, we are not sure if that was the fault of the adopter as at Toy Poodle Rescue she is back on schedule and pottying outside exclusively.

*update* 6/12/10
Monique is doing great, she has had no more seizures, so we summize that in her previous home they were leaving her alone a lot and she was crated and this totally stressed her out. Therefore we will only adopt her to someone who is home and does not go away, she can never be boarded, but we would always offer to take care of her at any time. Another dog is a must because we feel that because of her diminised sight she gets nervous alone, so if another dog was home during shopping trips, doctors appointments etc, she does absolutely fine. Monique is a very special dog, she has a wonderful personality and temperament, don't let her lack of sight blind you in seeing what this wonderful Poodle has to offer. We are accepting applications for her adoption

Requirements to adopt Monique

• Please be home so Monique has constant company

• Have another same size and temperament dog in the home for bonding

• Have as few steps as possible in your home and to outside.

• Allow her to sleep on your bed.

Miggy is ready to go to a new home!
Miggy is running at 300 mph now around the garden and doing great, he loves his food, playing, fruit, running, food, retrieving, salad, toys and yogurt and any other food you can think of. This is going to be one healthy old man because he loves to eat any healthy foods going. If you ever thought that a Poodle was a prissy, prancing fluff ball, Miggy will totally show you differently. He has made a total recovery and just wants to play constantly, he loves to fetch toys and balls and would just love to go to training calsses so he can learn all the tricks because he is so smart and will do whatever you teach him. He is such a good boy, but then he loves to just be held and snuggle with you. Miggy kisses on command and puts his head on your chest so you can kiss his neck and whisper in his ear. OK you're right we totally spoiled him while he was convalesing, but look at that face!! Miggy is looking for a family that will play with him and take him everywhere, he is an active boy who would love a full and active life with his new family. Because Miggy loves to run around the garden so fast and we never want to take that away from him, he must go to a home that has a fenced in yard. He would also love to have another same size, energy and temperament doggie to play with. Please see requirements below. 

What happened to Miggy

Miggy pronounced (Midgy) our Christmas Miracle, is a little 1 1/2 year old, 8lb Jet black male Poodle that was hit by a car that his owners could not afford to treat. So they were sent to us by another rescue and we drove in the snow storm to go and get him on Wednesday 16th December 2009

We did not think he would survive or we would be able to fix all of his injuries. We also didn't know if we could pay for his care, but we always worry about that after they are safe and received veterinary care.

Miggy suffered a broken pelvis on one side and a dislocated pelvis on the other, his lower right leg was totally degloved (meaning all the skin was open or missing) he had lacerations to both legs. We made it home in the snow and Miggy made it also. Our wonderful surgeon Dr Joel Woolfson literally put him back together. Miggy may need a future skin graft on his leg but he is up and taking little limpy walks and eating like a horse!

This little guy was so matted when we got him and skeletal as you can see in the photo's, Miggy should weight at least 8lbs to be comfortable and he is barely 6lbs, our job since rescuing him and getting his surgery done is to tend to his injuries, keep him comfortable and fatten him up. His favorite is boiled chicken mixed with some brown rice and vegetables but he has the amazing knack of spitting out his veggies.

We could not help these Poodles without all of you, so we are asking for donations towards Miggy's surgery and vet bills. We know it is a hard time for everyone and so close to Christmas, anything you can give towards his care, is a dollar we did not have yesterday, so we are grateful of anything. We know how great you have all been giving towards Angels surgery, but we could not say no to helping Miggy who had a whole life ahead of him at just a year old. A lot of rescues would not have taken this guy for fear of how much it would have cost to vet him, we do not work like that. We have faith that it will all work out and if you look into Miggy's face our one goal was to take away the pain he was in so badly.

Miggy will eventually be up for adoption after he is cleared by Dr Woolfson, in the meantime he is convalescing and loving breakfast and dinner times, Santa came early and brought him a new handsome sweater and we are hoping you will be his Santa and donate to his care.

Thank you as always to all our donators. Sue (President)

Requirments to adopt Miggy
 

• Have a fenced in yard for running

Miranda is a beautiful 9 1/2lb AKC (with papers) Apricot Toy Poodle. She was 3 years old at the end of June. She is a sweetheart, and will be a very loyal companion. She is up to date on vaccines, had a dental and is spayed. She also has a certificate of pedigree from the AKC, this is a well bred Poodle.
Miranda is timid when she first meets new people but warms up quickly, she loves gentle children and has been raised around them. She would do well with another dog her size. Miranda needs a family that wants an extremely loyal dog who will give her lots of love and attention and take her everywhere with them. She is totally potty trained, past the puppy stage and is trust worthy left in a home when you have to go out. She is an old soul, you look into her eyes and you know she knows everything and speaks volumes to you just with that look. I don't say that about many Poodles but she is one of 'them' I just felt an unusal connection with her immediately. She would train well as a Therapy dog or even possibly as a service dog because she seems to sense her humans needs and wants. Just an exceptional little girl, with a heart just waiting to give it to her forever human. She does not bark (as yet) and takes everything in her stride. She likes to sit parrot style on your shoulder when you are on the couch.

Requirements to adopt Miranda

Be home some or all of the day

Have had a Poodle or small dog experience

Having another dog in the home would be a plus

Let her be your full time companion

Must have a physical fully fenced in yard no exceptions
