ATTENTION ALL DK MEMBERS!-SO MANY DOODLES IN SHELTERS!

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

I just went through Petfinder and I can't believe how many doodles there are in shelters and rescues across the country!....Many are in HIGH KILL SHELTERS!....If you are looking to add a doodle to your family, I URGE YOU..no I BEG YOU to please consider adopting one of these beautiful dogs. To save everyone time and trouble, THEY ARE ALL LISTED in our DK Rescued Doodles Group under DOODLES IN NEED...see link...ALL HAVE PHOTOS AND CONTACT INFO.
http://doodlekisses.com/group/rescueddoodles/forum/topics/2065244:T...

All you have to do is scroll through the discussion.....

Don't be discouraged if you see a dog that you are interested in and they are not located in your area. MANY RESCUES HAVE TRANSPORTS AVAILABLE AND CAN HAVE THE DOG BROUGHT TO YOU FOR A SMALL FEE. All you have to do is inquire.

IDOG FOSTERS AND REHOMES CAN BE FOUND AT THE LINK BELOW

Count me in. Just let me know and I'm there.

What do you think lynne?....May be easier for us to split members into states if it were it's own group....

[Lynne Fowler-Oodles of Doodles]

It might be easier to keep it in one group. Check out how I did the East Coast Doodles Group. I put each state seperate rather than have everyone get all the mail from everyone. Maybe do that and people can match themselves to Routes. In the main page of the group maybe put the announcements of who needs to go where. Just thougts, let me know what you need.

HI, everyone. I enjoy reading many topics that are listed on Doodlekisses.
I don't have a doodle yet, and have been looking for one through Petfinder, and some breeder's website.
If possible, I would rather save one than buy one, but the ones on Petfinder have been in distant locations.

I am looking at the chocolate doodle that is currently housed at Souixcity Animal Control, IA. He is being called B-27 for now. Do you think it is possible to creat a doodle train for the distance of 993 miles?
I am thinking that is too carzy long distance.....Or will it be too stressful - long ride - for the doodle?
The shelter said that they cannot offer the transportation since it is such a long distance....

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Honestly, I think that would be too far for the dog to travel, especially a dog coming from a shelter who is already lost, frightened, and confused. Each person driving in the "train" would only be travelling for a relatively brief time, but the dog would have to endure the entire trip. Even at 60 mph, you are talking about 16 hours of driving time, with the dog being transferred from one stranger to another, not even allowing for potty breaks, eating, etc. It would be extremely stressful for the dog.
Being in the heart of puppy mill country in PA, I know for a fact that there are many, many doodles needing homes in your area. If you are only interested in a particular sex, color, coat type, etc., I have to tell you honestly that you really should find a breeder puppy to purchase. Adopting a rescue dog requires a lot more flexibility regarding the appearance of the dog, as well as many other things.

[Kyoko]

Thank you Karen for your honest reply. I thought it was a distance as well.

This is heartbreaking to see all these. I live in WI and was looking at those in WI. I have a friend interested. There is a nice looking GD in WI that just went up for adoption BUT, the adoption fee is $600. Is that not very high for a dog that you really don't know anything about and what kind of problems they have. I've never heard of such a high adoption fee. Has this changed? If this is the case, I understand a little better why they remain their.
