NorCal Poodle Rescue Northern California is a group of volunteers who rescue, rehabilitate and find loving homes for more than 100 poodles and poodle mixes each year. Serving Northern California and Southern Oregon, we rescue and adopt standard, miniature and toy poodles, as well as poodle mixes. We respond to county shelters, humane societies and individuals via our website and phone hotline. Each poodle is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and groomed before adoption. In addition, we provide extensive medical care, fostering, boarding and training if needed before placement.
We are always grateful for your donations and 97 per cent of all donations are dedicated to our poodles. As we are an all-volunteer organization we incur only 3 percent administrative costs. The generous gift of time by our volunteers, support and services by pet care businesses, and your tax-deductible donations make this work possible.
NorCal Poodle Rescue, Inc. is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our taxpayer ID number (EIN) is 94-3192264.
Adoption Procedure:
Our adoption procedure is designed to find a good match between the Poodle and adopter. If you see a Poodle on our website or meet one at an adoption showing that you are interested in getting to know, please complete our online adoption application. One of our volunteers will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
Adoption Fee:
NorCal Poodle Rescue Northern California, often incurs substantial costs to provide our rescue and adoption services including boarding, fostering, spaying and neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, treatments, training, etc. To partially cover these costs we have the following fees for adoption: Standard $300-500, Miniature $200-400, Toy $200-400.
Return Policy:
We provide a two-week trial adoption period during which everyone can assess if the adoption works for the Poodle and the new family. If you decide not to keep the Poodle within this two-week period, your adoption fee will be refunded. After the two week period the Poodle may be returned at any time, but the adoption fee will not be refunded. If at any time or for any reason you are not able to care for the Poodle, please call us and we will take the Poodle back.
Adoption Interest Form:
If you want to adopt, but you don't see a Poodle that matches your needs, please file an adoption interest form. This is especially true if you want a Standard Poodle. We have a waiting list for Standard Poodles. We always contact people on our waiting list before posting a Standard Poodle on our website.
