Coastal Poodle Rescue rehabilitates unwanted, abused and abandoned poodles and then places them in loving and responsible homes to live out their lives as cherished family members.

What We Do
We ensure that each dog is spayed or neutered and examined by a veterinarian. They are placed in foster homes that provide love and patience to help the animals adjust before being adopted. Their stays in foster care vary from several days to several months, depending upon the dog's condition and needs.

Unlike shelter or kennel living, fostering in a home environment allows the personal evaluation of each dog for behavior and temperament issues. We learn how our dogs react to other animals, children or strangers.

You Can Help by Fostering a Poodle
The burgeoning number of abandoned poodles has created the need for interim homes until the adoption process can be completed. All poodles in our care are vetted and vaccinated, at the minimum. Most rescued poodles need medical care, recuperation and grooming before they can be adopted.

Our generous foster volunteers keep the rescued poodles until the best possible permanent homes can be found for them.

We also wish to:

• Speak out against the harmfulness of overbreeding
• Promote the cause of spay/neuter
• Educate the public about the pleasure of poodles
