Goldendoodle Puppy 3 months Old-Looking for a Forever Home

[2SCdoodles]

I just had a phone call from our local animal shelter asking me if I was interested in a goldendoodle.  A friend who works there knows I have 2 doodles already.  It is not possible for me to take on another dog. 

Here is the info:

It is a female puppy 3 months old.  The fee to adopt is $80 which includes worming, spaying, and all vaccinations along with microchipping.  My friend says she is a wonderful, happy puppy, and is going to make a great family pet.

This pup's photo has not been posted on PetFinder yet, but it will be soon.

The animal shelter is located near Myrtle Beach, SC and  information can be found on this web site:

I forgot to mention above that she is crate trained.  I am sorry that the URL above is not working.  If you copy it and paste it in your browser window it should work, and/or Karen and Jack posted a link below that will work.

Just how do you find doodles that are not in your immediate zipcode? Thinking of another, but you don't see many doodles here in NY on Petfinder and DRC? Do you have to be in driving distance for most rescues? But unfortunately I would not be able to devote the time needed for a pup with "issues", but would love another some day... within the next year. I keep window shopping trying to decide which type we would like next or stick with the same breed - just a different breeder.

Well, you can put in any zip code or city that you want (like I searched Myrtle Beach SC for this posting)! I know some rescues want local only so they can do a home visit, but I think some (like DRC) will even help arrange transport. DRC has a real cutie in CT listed now!

Hmmm.. thanks!!! I'l check it out

The DRC arranges transport for dogs who are at risk in kill shelters, in order to get them to safety. We do not transport dogs to adoptive owners.

That being said, if the adoptive parents are willing to pay the transport fee, DRC can make transport arrangements. This is how my foster got from Atlanta to his wonderful forever family in VA.

Many of the doodles who come into rescue do not have "issues"; they are given up by owners who did not realize how much time, effort, and money goes into caring for a dog. Because of the continuing "hype" about "perfect dogs, non-shedding" etc, many people who are not really "dog people" buy them impulsively from pet stores, where there is no return option when the reality of having a dog sets in. Also, many doodles, especially older puppies, are turned in to rescue when a misguided person who thought breeding doodles would be an easy way to make money finds that they cannot sell the pups. Still other people have had to give up wonderful, housebroken, trained companions with no issues at all because they've lost their job, home, etc. My recent foster Molly was an example of a perfect 11 mo. old doodle with no issues whatsoever who was given up because of the economy.
I am not saying that there are not rescue dogs who have issues; but a lot of them don't, and are in fact much easier dogs to live with than new puppies from breeders.

That's good to hear.... Unfortunately, many of those I have read asked for someone who can be home all day long, need socialization, have anxiety,etc. I would love to find one that just needs a family to love them because we have a lot of THAT! I guess the doodle hype has not really hit our area much, or perhaps I just can't find them out there. It seems many are in the southern areas. But I will definitely keep looking. Until then.... I'll keep window shopping. They're ALL so cute to look at!

Has anyone found a picture or more information yet?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Holly, nobody can find a picture or more information because the shelter doesn't have her listed yet. You can contact the shelter using the information posted above in this discussion.
