Adopt a Poodle in Illinois

Poodles are highly intelligent, active, and elegant dogs that come in standard, miniature, and toy sizes. They appear in rescue when owners can't keep up with their grooming needs or mental stimulation requirements. Rescued Poodles are quick learners and devoted companions.

Illinois has a large rescue dog community, with Chicago and the surrounding suburbs home to dozens of active rescues and shelters. Downstate organizations in Springfield, Peoria, and Champaign also serve large populations. A rescued Illinois dog typically comes from an active, well-connected organization.
