UPDATE - Thanks to all the wonderful people who helped Faith! We received the donations and pledges needed for Faith to be treated by the Orthopedic Specialist! Once again, the Angels have come through for a needy pet. THANK YOU !!!
This small young poodle was picked up as a stray by a local shelter. The shelter officer thought at least one of the legs was broken as the dog could not use them. She called poodle rescue to see if we could help. We got the little poodle (which we call Faith since she has to put her faith in us to save her) to a local vet for care and xrays. Her pelvis is broken on both sides and she needs surgery. The pelvis needs plates put in which is VERY EXPENSIVE . It has to be done by an Orthopedic vet or a place like LSU Vet School (the estimate we got is between $2,500 and $3,000), but Creole Poodle Rescue is a small rescue with limited funds. Faith is only about 2 years old and so sweet and deserving to walk. Any donation even $5 or $10 to Faith’s surgery would help and be appreciated. Creole Poodle Rescue has a Paypal button on their Petfinder website (Please mark “For Faith) or checks can be written to Creole Poodle Club and mailed to : P.O.Box 2333, Gonzales LA 70707 Thank You!
Faith is a special little Poodle - She has suffered so much - Please make hers a happy one like Tyler's story below.
Tyler’s legs were injured by a car and his owner did not get him vet care for 6 days. He was finally surrendered to our rescue when he was close to death. He had to have one leg amputated and the other one splinted for 8 weeks. He now uses that leg about 75% of the time. He really gets around great. All he needs now is a loving home to call his own. We were able to save him thanks to your generous donations because his vet bills were hugh. Thank you!

Who We Are
We take in all sizes of Poodles in need & then place them in the home that is best suited for the poodle according to the poodle's personality & needs and the desires of the prospective 'adoptive' parents. This helps to assure that each poodle finds the right home for a lifetime and is given the love, dignity and respect that he/she deserves. All poodles are up to date on shots, wormed, spayed or neutered, heart worm checked, and groomed before they go to their new home. Our desire is for the dog to become a cherished family member & in return to give his/her family a wonderful & faithful companion/friend for a lifetime. All applicants are carefully screened & must meet certain qualifications before being referred for a poodle. Please remember that a poodle is a breed that has to be groomed, so your budget needs to include this cost every 6 - 8 weeks. The right poodle for you and your family may not be available immediately - so patience is a needed virtue!
Adopting a friend
We work with veterinarians, shelters, other rescue organizations, private homes, & the other Poodle Clubs to care for and place our poodles in the appropriate home. Placement is based on the best "matches" between the poodle and the people on our adoption waiting list. We strive hard to make permanent placements for each poodle...every poodle deserves to lead a joyful life and to become a very valued family member- FOR A LIFETIME. We can email an application for adoption...You must be 21 years of age in order to fill out an application. You MUST fill out an application to be considered for adoption. Submitting your application does not guarantee adoption. A liability release is required to be signed by the new owner. Our normal adoption fee is $150 for toys and miniatures and $250 for standards - some exceptions are made for older poodles. Any dog that we adopt out to a home is to be returned to our rescue program AT ANY TIME if the adoption is not working out.
SURRENDERING A POODLE: -We accept poodles into our program for almost any reason ( NO aggressive dogs!). -We accept dogs from any area as long as the dog is brought to us or arrangements are made to get the dog to us. We drive to a limited area only. -Will will not pay for surrendered dogs. -We will pay only shelter/rescue fees. -If you own a poodle you can no longer care for, or know of someone who does, please email us with your name, phone #, & details concerning the dog...
