Foster Me

Have you considered becoming a foster parent?

A foster parent provides food and shelter to a dog waiting for or being prepared for adoption.  The cost of supplies is donated by the foster parent.  Medical treatment such as spay and neuter or dental cleaning is provided by the rescue, however, the foster parent must use the professionals designated by the rescue and honor the appointments made by the rescue staff.  Generally, foster parents are responsible for transporting their fosters to adoption events and medical appointments.  Foster parents are required to provide information regarding their foster’s temperament, behavior, housebreaking, likes and dislikes, food brand and feeding schedules, medications, etc. to prospective adopters.  A foster parent may sometimes offer to bring their foster to meet and greet prospective adopters and their other pets in their homes.  Often, the foster parent has a great deal of input into the selection of the adoptive family.  We take great care to find the best foster homes for our rescues, so if you are interested, you must submit an application online.  A staff member will contact you within 24-48 hours to interview you and learn more about your specific situation.  Thank you for caring!

Carra Cares for Her Pups

What a difference a week can make! Just a week ago, I was giving birth in a shelter to a litter of four tiny pups. My hair was so long and matted that I could hardly see and my babies couldn't nurse very well. I'm still a bit of a mess as you can see in the after photo, but most of the mats are gone and you can see what a beauty I was before I ended up wandering the streets. When I was rescued by Arizona Poodle Rescue they named me Carra, the Irish word for friend. My foster family has truly extended a hand of friendship to me and my little family!

Whitney Makes a Wish

My owner never took care of me and I ended up a stray with puppies on the streets of Nogales. Unlike my uncaring owner, I cared for my puppies and did the best I could but it's not easy trying to fend for five little ones. The Santa Cruz Animal Care and Control workers gathered us up and added an orphan to my litter and Arizona Poodle Rescue answered my wish for warmth, safety, and proper nutrition. My babies are all happy and healthy and I am being treated like the beautiful princess that I truly am. What a fairy tale ending!

Arizona Poodle Rescue is an all volunteer group. We do not have a shelter. Our dogs are in private foster homes in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Our animals come to us primarily from local shelters, but also from owners or breeders who can no longer care for them.

Arizona Poodle Rescue is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of poodle and dog lovers in general to assist us in continuing our mission of saving dogs in need.
