Doodle Rescue story

[Diane Marra]

I wanted to share a wonderful story about my first rescue?foster with Doodle Resuce Collective named Maxi. I just started working with DRC and got my first call 2 weeks ago about rescuing a doodle from a kill shelter in Fredericksburg VA. My daughters and I were able to go that day and get Maxi. She was due to be euthanized the next day. I can't imagine what person gave her up! 

Maxine is a beautiful buff colored labradoodle about 2 years old. Clearly starved, her ribs and pelvis protruded. The shelter had shaved her down, so we didn't get to see how bad she was. Maxi is the most calm, loving beautiful dog! She was completely house trained, crate trained, knew how to play ball, loves people and fit right in with my other 2 doodles. She sleeps with us on our beds, is eating up a storm and such a sweet disposition!  The perfect dog! She has the beautiful silky curly hair, some apricot and white, overall buff color. Can't wait to see her grown out coat!

Her first picture sitting on the car seat between my daughters!  She jumped right into the car and looked at us like- "let's go home". 

We have had her with us for 2 weeks and she has been adopted by a new forever family and will leave us on Saturday. My family loves her and we are so happy she is going to a wonderful home in Pa.

We actually rescued another doodle back in April in KY. We drove 10 hours each way to get Bella. She is approximately 2 yrs old, a solid white mini doodle. She was rescued from a puppy mill by the Kentucky Lab Rescue, Michelle May. Re renamed her to Bella and brought her home- the drive was horrible, as she hadn't been shaved down or cleaned up yet. She had the most horrible mats, that I actually had to cut them off before I bathed her that night. Look at the before and after pictures. Bella was really abused, house trained, but so afraid of people, noises, doors. She bonded with our Bailey ( 2 yr old goldendoodle) and began to relax. She just recently came to me when I called her, instead of running the other way!  So, she is my success story,and we love her so much we decided to help other dogs find good homes.

Please help other doodles by signing up to foster, pull from your local shelters or drive the doodle train as we find more dogs who have been abandonded, or abused. If you see a listing on Petfinder, please alert Adrianne immediately at DRC and she can arrange for a rescue.

Loving animals, helping them, caring for them and finding them a new home- is a wonderful blessing. Please help us help the helpless doodles!

I am so confused as to which is the right link. Adrianne, when I click on this link, I am getting a message that says something like we can not find this website. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for another wonderful rescue story!

Diane, I know I have stated it here in DK and to you personally on the phone- you and your girls have done an amazing job giving Ms. Maxi the confidence and the love to start her life again on the road that every dog deserves!!

Way to go Diane and girls! Great Job! That was a very fast rescue and adoption!
