Florida Poodle Rescue

Since the creation of Florida Poodle Rescue in 1994, we have found homes for over 9,500 Poodles, Standards, Miniatures, Toys, and Poodle-wannabes who have been abandoned, abused, neglected, unwanted, or who simply lost their home due to the death of their human parent. When they come to us, all are examined by a veterinarian and care is given as needed, spaying/neutering, vaccines, dental procedures, preventative medications, and microchips. Florida Poodle Rescue has also provided many of our Poodles with treatment for active cases of heartworm and major surgeries such as facial reconstruction, hip surgery, cataract sugeries, and broken bone repairs. All are placed in foster homes that provide love and patience to help them adjust before being adopted. A rescued Poodle's stay in foster care varies from several days to several months, depending on their condition when they arrived at Florida Poodle Rescue. These rescued dogs go on to lead joyful lives as cherished companions to loving human parents. The joy and satisfaction of rescuing a Poodle and being a part of their transformation cannot be described in words.

You must be at least 21 years of age and living on your own. All current pets in your home MUST be spayed/neutered. The only exception is if they are currently being shown in the conformation ring or health issues preclude this surgery. Verification will be required. All current pets in your home MUST be up to date on vaccinations and be maintained on monthly heartworm preventative. We will call your vet to verify this information. We do not adopt out dogs as gifts or surprises! Absolutely no exceptions. If you rent, you must provide your landlord's name, address and phone number. We will verify with your landlord that you are allowed to have a dog. Applicants are willing to spend $45 (Toys & Minis) to $100 (Standards) every 5-8 weeks for grooming. Applicants are willing to make a lifelong commitment to love and care for their adopted dog. All applicants are willing to have a volunteer check their references, and do a home visit.
