Meet Brody! An Adorable Doodle Boy Who Needs A New Home!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Brody is a 5 year old Labradoodle who is fostered in St. Petersburg, FL. He was relinquished to the DRC by his family for the usual reasons of "busy with the kids' activities, no time", etc. 

Petfinder has been having technical issues which are preventing the DRC from listing the new dogs in the program. There are several who have not yet been listed, including Brody. No listing means no way to let potential adopters know about Brody, so his foster mom has written a blog about him which you can read Here. 

From the blog:

"Brody is completely house trained and according to his family, has never destroyed anything in the home when left alone. He slept on his own bed either in the family room or in the parent's room. Because I have a small 10 lb dog I am currently crating Brody when I am not home and he LOVES his crate.

Brody seems to be an F1B because he doesn't shed although right now he does have a short hair cut. He lets me brush him with no issues and will lay on his back for belly rubs. Although he isn't tall Brody is stocky and weighs approximately 70 lbs. He is up to date with shots and neutered :)

Brody knows sit, paw, down and go to bed :) He had a benign tumor on his tail which they amputated when he was around 3 years old so now he has a cute stubby tail. He is a known counter surfer who will play fetch but needs to work on dropping the ball on command. He is known to de-stuff his toys :) His family said he is not fond of cats. 

Brody does need some work walking nicely on a leash. He was not taught not to jump to greet people but we have been working on it since he got here last Tuesday and he's already pretty much stopped jumping with us. He definitely needs a strong pack leader. Someone who will set boundaries re: jumping, how to greet people and other dogs, etc. I would love for Brody to get a home with a fenced in yard since this is something he's never had."

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting Brody, the first step is to read the DRC's Adoption Policies: http://doodlerescue.org/notes/DRC_ADOPTION_POLICIES_AND_PROCEDURES

And then submit an adoption application: http://doodlerescue.org/page/adoption-application-2

Brody says "thanks for reading! I can't wait to meet my new mom or dad!"

He is simply adorable!  I wish I could take him myself, but that would be my third!  I pray he finds his family soon!

I wish Bernie would find a home. He just looks adorable!! I keep checking to see if he has been adopted and he is still there. He looks like such a fun dog. I don't know why I torture myself looking at all those lovely doods looking for new homes.

Just don't know how you could "dump" that sweet face after 5 years!
