A Pair of Doodles for Rehome (from DRC)

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I wanted to start a little post on these two adorable doodles that are available for re-home through the DRC.  They are a brother/sister pair that truly would like to stay together.  The back story on these two is near and dear to me and I so want to see them go to a wonderful family that will show them the true doodle life they deserve.

 

They belong to a family that lives around the corner from us.  We can see their house and the doodles from our back yard.  Two weeks after we brought Lucy and Sophie home I looked out across the back yard and here were these two little puppies running through their front yard.  They looked exactly like Lucy and Sophie.  We had just moved into the neighborhood a couple months prior and had not met these neighbors but of course I had to run over and say are those Doodles.  As soon as I saw little Shadow up close I knew exactly where they came from as I had spoken to that breeder about Sadie and I saw Shadows photo on their website.  He had a little white spot on his chest.  We ended up going to another breeder or Sadie would have been ours.

 

Anyway, long story short, one child ended up allergic and Shadow and Sadie were moved outside where they have lived for the last 5 years.  If a doodle has to live outside, they were living in outside luxury, but none the less they were outside.  That aside they are the sweetest most loving doodles ever.  Shadow is a big boy, weighing in at 137 lbs.  Sadie has completely stolen my heart.  If Mike had his way they would both now be living in our house (along with Honey), but a house can only hold so many doodles or should a say a checkbook can only handle so many doodles!  Shadow loves to fetch but Sadie won't leave your side long enough to go fetch.  She would rather have belly rubs.  They both just drop at your feet for belly rubs.  When Mike and I go over they will be getting belly rubs from us and all of a sudden they do a switch and trade places for more belly rubs.  They have gorgeous coats.  I've never seen a hair on me after being over there playing with them.  Their coats are not matted.  They just don't seem to come with any of the baggage that so many of our re-homedoodles do.  They will walk on a leash, they sit, they will kennel up as he calls it when he wants them in their big pen.  They are just wonderful doodles.  Their owners have been considering this for awhile now, but he recently started a new job and is living away through the week right now so they have decided they need to put their selfish desires to keep them aside and think about what is best for Shadow and Sadie.  They will get a new home but they will be inside doodles getting all the belly rubs they can stand.

 

If anyone knows anyone looking for a pair of doodles, please have them consider Shadow and Sadie! 

(I don't want to turn this into a conversation about doodles living outside, I just want to try and find a home for them together).  I love them like my own and have watched them grow up.  When we first lost Sophie every time we walked past their house Lucy pulled to try and go in the drive way back to where they were.  She had never done that before.  So we started letting her go back and say hello.

 

If anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer any that I can.  Like I said, I just really want them to be able to stay together if at all possible!

Robin -- I'm not sure I've ever heard someone make such a sweet comment about Ohio!  We don't normally get too much positive press!  Thanks.

I am an Ohio State alum - still have many friends in the Cleveland area and have spent many vacations visiting them.  Everyone made fun of me for saying I was going to Cleveland for vacation - I actually like Cleveland.  Did not spend as much time in Cinci, but did like it there, too.  Of course Columbus - well, all I can say is Go Bucks!  And it's the people - always so nice and warm.  And now I see that some of the great doodles are from Ohio, as well!  :)

Sheri, they are a beautiful pair. It would be heartbreaking to separate them. It sounds like they would be a real gift for someone wanting two doodles.

Kathy, keeping my fingers crossed that that someone is you!

These two look like great doodles! I wish I could take them.

[Donna Bay & Buzz]

I wish so much i could take them. I also pray they dont get split up...that would be tragic. Best wishes. They are both gorgeous.

I will be able to foster these beautiful doodles for as long as they need to find a great home together. I have put in a fostering application on the website. My whole family is on board with this. I work from home and have a fenced in yard and I'm sure they would do great with my doodle. I do not want to see them split up.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Thanks for wanting to foster Alesha, we need fosters in all parts of the country. Sadie and Shadow don't need a foster, they need a permanent adoptive home; but there are always many others in your part of the country that need a place to stay while they are waiting for their forever family to find them. :)

I was SO excited about the coincidence/fate of these adorable doodles being in a place so close to where I will be next week, that I hadn't thought through how stressful (for the dogs and me) it might be to drive from there to California.  Not only that, but the rescue people require a new owner that will not be traveling soon.  I just happen to be going on the Doodle Cruise in October, plus somewhere else for Thanksgiving.  I'll try to be more realistic (PLUS read the guidelines carefully) in the future.  That said, if anyone knows of a doodle to be rescued closer to the west coast and AFTER December, keep me in mind!

Yes driving would be very stressful for everyone. I'd probably fly them and get it over with, but many will disagree. A four hr flight seems much better than 4-5 days of driving! As for travel, no real way to get around that I guess unless another doodle mom can take then while you are gone. Never know.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

DRC does not allow dogs to be transported to their new homes. Gotta be driven by their new owners. :)

I live not far from these 2 gorgeous doodlles and posted the request on my facebook page in the hopes that someone in Ohio will find these 2 irrisitable.
