Need to find home for Goldendoodle

[Julie]

Hi,

I have a friend who has a beautiful male Goldendoodle, I think about 3 years old. She loves him but has had to go back to work full time and is not able to give him the attention he needs. Is there anyone who may be looking for a cute doodle boy in Southern CA? She is hoping to stay in touch with him, when he does go to a new home.

 

Please email me at [e-mail]  if you have any suggestions for her.

 

Thank youi,

Julie Conrad

So glad there are breeders like Peri's--too bad they all aren't that way. It should never be about money.

Lynne, I'm so glad you are a reputable breeder, although I must say I've really gotten into the rescue scene. SOooo many pups and dogs out there of every breed, mixed, ages, etc, it breaks my heart how many have to be killed (I don't say euthanized because often it is not humane). I long for the day when there are more homes than dogs for them. I hope there is a doodle in my future, though I know it will be a rescue, despite any history or issues he or she may have. I completely agree with you, people really can talk the talk sometimes and dogs end up in the wrong home. A lot of people shouldn't even have a pet at all. Definitely, the online thing is just disgusting, on either end of it.

 

I will ensure Easton gets a great home, it just can't be soon enough for me!

Thanks for writing and for being a responsible breeder and animal person :)

OMG he's so cute!

Julie...you are such a good person to make this your passion. He is gorgeous and I am sure, with the right home and the right sort of caring for, he will adjust in no time. These doodles of our are totally "special" dogs and someone has to be blind, deaf and dumb not to understand them. His originally owners should be banned from ever owning another animal of any kind...Sadly, many people just do not have the "sensitivity" gene like we do to understand animals. He is such a looker that I am sure someone will snatch him up and work with him. My rescue was found wandering a freeway for days and goodness knows what situation he came from. He still has a few traits that we are patiently working with, but it did not take long for him to realize he landed himself the "goodie pot" when we became his forever home. You are wonderful to take him under your own wing, so don't feel guilty because your own circumstances do not allow you to take him in...you are doing the next best thing..putting him out to us doodle fanatics....Do keep up all informed on his story. I know there is something wonderful just waiting around the corner for him...bless him. I just looked into his eyes and saw a new wonderful life just waiting for him.

Thank you, Frances, for your kind words. I know Easton is such a cutie and will have no trouble finding a home, I just have to convince his mom to do what is right for him. Thank you, also for rescuing. TOO many dogs need homes out there, so heart breaking!

Oh, he looks like our Clancy who we rescued from Moreno Valley.

[Deb, Connor & Simon]

He is adorable!!  If she will just turn him into the DRC, they will find a loving, pre-approved family (that's been fully screened) to love Easton forever.  <3

He is just adorable and looks so sweet. I hope he gets a great new home soon.

Amanda, your situation sounds like you definitely made the right decision. You can't put your kids at risk, and given that Rylee was obviously uncomfortable enough to worry you, she is obviously happier where she is now. And the way you transitioned Rylee was perfect--you are so sensitive and selfish to do it that way. Thank you for writing--I will share your story with Easton's mom--I think it may help!

I think a dog will adjust to the new home quickly if the new home is a better environment.  We got Bodi when he was 2.  His life changed dramatically.  He went on his first walk and began having regular exercise every day.  He was neutered - maybe not fun for him, but right after that he became my lap dog.  We take him on family vacations and if that is not possible, he stays with a good, dog-loving friend.  This is heaven when compared to his original home.  He was in a crate or tied on outside most of the time.  He was a nipper - and just needed some correction for that to stop.  He has moved on from "dog", to "my baby"  and I'm sure he is much happier. =)

I hope you find this doodle boy a wonderful home soon!

I too have a dog adopted as an adult, and there is no doubt that he is living a happy life and much better off than he was in his old home. He now also gets exercise, vet care (which he desperately needed), grooming, etc. But he did have a very rough time with the transition. He was lost, bewildered, confused, and frightened. In 13 years of fostering and being involved in rescue, I have to say that losing a home is the worst thing a dog can go through. I would rather see a dog lose a leg or his eyesight than lose a home. For strays, shelter pulls, breeder dumps, etc., it's a different story. The minute they enter rescue, their lives change for the better. But it's different for dogs who had a home where they were bonded to someone. They sometimes grieve. Yes, eventually they adjust, but just like children who are living in abusive homes, they don't know the home is abusive, and they love their parents anyway. They don't know they need more exercise or training or treatment for their allergies. They just want to be with their person, in a place that's familiar to them. That's a dog's nature. They don;t really think about their needs. And the older the dog, the harder it can be for them.

When someone rehomes a dog, they are rarely really doing it for the dog's sake.
