How many rescue poodles and doodles are available for adoption in England?

As of 30 September 2026, 8 poodles and doodles are listed for adoption in England on LocalPetFinder, from Dogs Trust, Many Tears Animal Rescue and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Each profile links to the rescue, and you apply to adopt with them directly.

Are there poodle or doodle puppies for adoption in England?

Not right now: none of the 8 listed in England is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.

Do Poodles shed?

The Royal Kennel Club lists all three Poodle sizes as not shedding, though the coat needs grooming every day. It publishes no such listing for Cockapoos, Cavapoos or Labradoodles, which are not on its breed A to Z, so ask the rescue about a particular cross.

How much does it cost to adopt a poodle or doodle in England?

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there poodles and doodles for sale in England?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every poodle or doodle on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre, and rescues rehome animals for an adoption fee rather than selling them: for example, Battersea charges £230 for an adult dog and Dogs Trust £300. The fee goes towards the vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free poodle or doodle in England, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to good home" is a private advert, not a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
