Cute animal doodles9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() There are dozens of other poodle-mix rescues, including rescues for cockapoos, or cocker spaniel-poodle mixes schnoodles, for schnauzer-poodles chi-poos, for chihuahua poodles maltipoos, for maltese-poodle mixes and so on. Since the Doodle Rescue Collective began rescuing doodles in 2006, it has helped over 1,200 dogs and counting.

With luck and money, they found one not far from where they live in Connecticut. Not just any dog, but the type more popular today than any of the dazzling breeds at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. ![]() The family-a couple and their four children, ages 5 to 11-wanted a dog in the worst way. ![]()
