Adoption

[michele dozier]

I'm looking to adopt another labradoodle....are there any available and how do I go about doing it?

Hi Michele, are you talking about adopting from a rescue/shelter, or buying a puppy from a breeder? 

How did you get your current dog?

I'm talking about a shelter hopefully

Search Petfinder 2-3 times a week, using "Poodle" or "Standard Poodle" for the breed.

I used a breeder for my current doodle....she is now 5yrs old...I got her at 5 months old

Have you filled out an application with Doodle Rescue Collective?

GOOGLE shelters and humane societies within your driving range. Check their sites often.

I posted these as an example.  Rescue Organizations have stringent requirements for their adopters. They take the time to understand the personality of the dog.  They look for the best match for the dog.  They aren't just given to the first person who comes along and asks, however shelters do. Someone wanting to adopt needs to be proactive. First they needs to make sure the rescue is reputable, then apply. At the same time frequently check all the shelters in the surrounding area for dogs that might be a fit for your family.
