Guinnette Peebles is a watchdog for a special breed POODLE PROTECTOR By Jennifer Leahy Chronicle Correspondent Photos by Bob Edwards GUINNETTE Peebles has oodles of poodles. And the professional obedience trainer and kennel owner will happily share her poodles with anyone who is willing to provide them with a good home. "I got into poodle rescue about seven years ago. They are my specialty breed and so people started to contact me when they knew of homeless ones. It grew from there," Peebles said. She initially provided foster care for three to five dogs per month and now has more than 225 under her supervision each year. Though she initially incorporated the dogs into her home as well as her business, Prestonwood Kennels, she now has a separate facility and a nonprofit corporation, Poodle Rescue of Houston. "We now have the capabilities to shelter 50-60 dogs. Between adoption and rescue there is a steady flow of animals in and out. Sometimes people will call us when a relative dies and leaves a poodle. Sometimes people find a poodle. We also search the Web sites of the animal shelters and look for poodles," Peebles said. Once accepted by Poodle Rescue of Houston, dogs are immediately sent to the veterinarian for a physical and the necessary vaccinations. They also are spayed or neutered. They are then housed at the facility until a permanent home is found. "Poodles come in all sizes and colors," she said. "There are miniature, toy and standard and range from four to more than 75 pounds. They also come in all colors and can be styled in many ways. They can have short, sporty hair, or you can let them cord. They are good, alert dogs, not inclined to bite and are typically good with children. They also are smart and obedient and pretty much hypoallergenic. "They are also great sporting dogs and were bred to retrieve ducks." For Peebles, matching each poodle with a family is a labor of love.

Please give generously so that we can help as many poodles as possible. Many of the dogs we take in are heartworm positive or have other medical issues. It's very expensive to make these dogs well so that they can be adopted. Even the healthier dogs must be spayed or neutered, have their teeth cleaned, and vaccinations updated.
In most cases the costs far exceed the adoption fee. Some of the poodles we take are just plain old. Many people are not willing to adopt these seniors and we would like to be able to continue to care for these sweeties. But we can't do it without your help. We just don't have enough money. Please click on the Paypal button to donate money to Poodle Rescue of Houston so that we can provide care for these dogs.
If you shop at Petsmart online, you can follow this link to their site and we will receive a portion of the sales total! So please take a minute to check out their products.
Please take a minute and help us care and treat these deserving poodles.
