Shorty Chocolate Male Labradoodle needs a new family
Shorty was born Feb 2005 and I was contacted by his family that are suffering from economic issues and can no longer keep Shorty. He is a Chocolate Labradoodle approx 70 lbs and currently lives in Lansing, MI. I am trying to help find Shorty a new family in that area. Here are more specs on him.
My then 4 year old son named him Shorty Hair, which we shortened to just Shorty for practicality. He's very intelligent, knows several commands, is crate-trained, and just incredibly friendly. Our whole family loves him, but we've suffered some economic changes recently and absolutely cannot afford to care for him anymore. He's good with other dogs, kids, and even cats though he's a little rough in his curiosity of them. Our cat was smart enough to just avoid him. He knows: Sit, lay (though he's a little stubborn about this one sometimes and just sits), come, go (I swear he looks where you're pointing your finger and goes that way. We use this for him to get in the bath, too, and he does it), back up, down, crate (means "go in your crate"), and I can't think of anything else... We installed a doggie door on our laundry room door shortly after he came to live with us and he just goes out when he pleases. In this sense he is house trained, because he never has an accident in the house. I just imagine someone would have to teach him how to let you know he needed to go if you didn't have a doggie door. We've had less time for him than usual, especially in Nov/Dec at the end of my pregnancy and with the new baby here, then my husband burning his hand very badly. Because of this we missed the fact he has a yeast infection in his ears. He was rubbing his head on the floor and scratching so much the tips of his ears were bleeding :(. We're treating it with some drops from the vet and it's already improving. Otherwise he seems in perfect health. The last thing I can think to tell you is that he is intact. But everything I'd read said that un-neutered male labradoodles are temperamentally like the females or neutered dogs of that breed, and we've found that to be true. He's not the least bit aggressive or dominant at all. My husband is the alpha dog, and I'm second and he might imagine he's on par with the kids. Thank you,

Try to convince her to use IDOG. Free dogs don't always get the best homes without some screening and if she can't keep him in the meantime, better to be in a safe foster home!

I will sure pass this info. on to her and he is for free, just trying to find someone local to them. I have checked on having him shipped to me and WOW! I can not afford it and nor can they, so re-homing him is first choice.

Please tell them to contact IDOG for help in rehoming if they are not trying to get any money for him. The email is rescue@idog.biz.
IF he is for "sale" then this needs to be in the sales group on here.
