UPDATE - Finn Needs Pawsitive Doodle Prayers!!

This little 5 month old doodle was adopted by Jacquie's Mom only a couple of weeks ago. He went in for his vaccines and is having a life threatening reaction to the Lepto. He has some time predisposed genetic thing (how scientific of me) to the Lepto. Finn really needs our thoughts and prayers. He has to be one of the 30% that survive this!!!!

Finn's Story

Finn is a 5 month old Australian Labradoodle puppy surrendered to Doodle Rescue Collective in early September.Finn was surrendered to DRC when his original owner was no longer able to care for him due to post traumatic stress. She admitted that Finn had been an "impulse purchase" in the wake of tragedy and later realized she was not emotionally, psychologically or physically prepared to take on a rambunctious doodle puppy with all that she was going through in the aftermath of her devastating loss.

Thankfully, Finn's owner was directed to DRC by our friends Marie Shelto & Bocker the Labradoodle. (Thank you Marie & Bocker!)

Having just lost their beloved pup to cancer 6 months ago, and both being retired and semi-retired, my Mom and Sam had literally just officially signed up to volunteer for DRC. In fact they made a trek to a Rhode Island shelter to pull a doodle on our behalf two weeks earlier.

Jacquie posted last night -

GREAT NEWS! FINN IS IMPROVING AND FEELING MUCH BETTER! -- Finn's red cell count has steadily increased over the last week or so and his energy level has increased dramatically....Mom says he's back to being the playful, energetic puppy he was prior to becoming sick. Finn is still on prednisolone, but the weaning begins next week. His wonderful new vet at the specialists is his champion! She has 2 doodles of her own and has seen this exact scenario with the Lepto vaccine play out many times before ....She is highly optimistic that Finn is going to recover from his ordeal.......Keeping our fingers crossed....: )
