frAVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
JACK - 4 YEAR OLD NEUTERED MALE COCKAPOO, CUMBRIA
Jack has not had the best start in life, although Jack’s fosterer believes he must have been well cared for once and he is certainly accustomed to being professionally groomed – and yet Jack came into foster in a neglected state, badly matted, underweight and riddled with fleas; He had spent much of his time outside in a small garden which was chock full of debris. Unfortunately, Jack was not microchipped and so we will never know his background, but we are determined to ensure that from now on he will have the life he so deserves.
One of Jack’s front legs is slightly bowed and this was checked by the vet, who found it to be the result of an old fracture which was either not treated appropriately or not at all. This is not causing Jack any problems and does not require treatment.
Jack is a very friendly, loving little boy considering all he has been through. He loves cuddles and human company, and gets on well with the other dogs in his fosterer’s house. He enjoys being out in the garden and has walked beautifully on the lead on some little walks. He is recovering well from being neutered earlier this week (he also had a dental scale and polish whilst under anaesthetic). He loves his food and snacks and is putting on some much needed weight already, and has been wormed and treated for fleas. He is due to start (restart) vaccinations at his post-op check in a few days time. He is now microchipped.
Jack has some issues with separation anxiety – not major, but hardly surprising given where he has come from and the neglect he has endured. He needs and deserves a home where he will not be left alone, except rarely and then for no longer than an hour or two; Jack spent hours and hours of his life locked outside, away from the human company he craves, so please do not apply for Jack if you are unable to meet this fundamental requirement. Jack has drawn a great deal of comfort and confidence from the other dogs in his fosterer’s home, so we are also looking for a family with a SMALL good natured neutered/spayed resident dog or two. It is possible that Jack could live in a family with sensible older children, however please bear in mind that Jack deserves to be at the centre of his new family and included in everything they do, and this may not be compatible with a busy household with young children where there are lots of after school and/or non-dog friendly weekend activities. What Jack does NOT need is a family where he will be “wrapped in cotton wool”. Jack very much wants to be a normal dog and to be treated like one! So, sensible and down to earth experienced dog owners would be ideal.
Jack will not do well in kennels, so if you are unable to take him on holiday with you, alternative arrangements – such as home boarding, family or friends – will need to be made for his care. Jack will need a good amount of time to settle in to his new home, so please do not apply for him if you are planning a non-dog friendly holiday in the next 3 or 4 months. Jack will need regular professional grooming every 6 weeks and a brush every day to keep his coat free of matts. He loves his walks – although he will need to be kept on lead until his new family are 100% confident of his recall and be sure he has fully bonded with them before letting him off lead. Jack has not been tested with cats, so a cat-free home is required.
Jack will certainly be a lovely addition to the lucky family who adopt him! He is such a happy little lad, greeting everyone he meets with a wagging tail. He is very easy to love!
We anticipate a great deal of interest in Jack. Please help admin to identify the right home for Jack’s needs by only applying if you are confident you meet the stated criteria or your application will be rejected. We strongly recommend giving as much information as possible in your application as we do not have time to pursue applicants for information they have not provided. Please respond to questions from a pre-post Covid perspective – ie not that you work from home when this has been imposed by Covid. We carry out extensive background checks on shortlisted applicants and require references and a home check. At least two visits - with all resident family members plus any resident dog(s) - will be required, so please ensure you are in a position to travel to Cumbria in the next week or two. Please consider current or impending Covid 19 tier changes/ lockdown in your area and how this may impact your ability to follow through on an application to adopt Jack.
COVID 19 legislation must be adhered to at all times to ensure everyone is kept safe. All meet ups must be conducted outside with appropriate social distancing, face coverings/hand sanitisers and wipes where necessary. Home checks will be carried out virtually. Please do not apply for Jack if you or a family member or contact have Covid symptoms or if you or a family member or contact are required to self isolate.

OREO, 11 month old Jackapoo x Patterdale
|
|
Oreo is an 11 month old Jackapoo x Patterdale. He is 19 inches tall from his paws to top of his head and weighs in at 7kg. His owner was told he would not grow anymore than this. He is unneutered and will therefore need to be neutured in accordance with DFR guidelines when the time is right. He is microchipped and up to date with his vaccinations, currently he is uninsured.
Oreo is fed a mixture of wet and dry food. As a special treat Oreo enjoys chicken feet and duck neck. He is groomed every 8 weeks and is bathed reguarly and brushed every other day. He loves his baths and brushes.
Oreo is very hyperactive and playful and has lots of energy to burn. He loves his kong toys and balls. He's as daft as a brush and often chases his tail or his back leg! He craves attention and will follow you until you give it to him as he just wants to play! He is well behaved around other dogs whilst out on walks. He has been brought up within a family home with children ranging from 4-17 years old. He does still like to mouth but if you tell him no he does stop instantly.
Oreo is being rehomed due to a change in circumstances which has meant his owner is having to work full time. Oreo doesn't like being left alone. If left alone he will chew most things in sight. Therefore Oreo cannot currently be left and his new owners would need to be in a position to dedicate the time and energy to support his needs. As with all puppy behaviour, Oreo is energetic, all day is play time and although he is toilet trained, accidents may occasionally happen. He will sit on command and also give you his paw. Part of his training will need to incorporate lead training as he likes to pull a lot.
Oreo is based in Bracknell.
A rehoming fee of £200 will apply.

STAN AND OLI, 4 YEAR OLD GOLDEN DOODLE BROTHERS
STAN AND OLI, 4 YEAR OLD GOLDEN DOODLE BROTHERS
Every picture tells a story - and the photos of these two really do say it all - a fun loving pair of white golden doodles, happy in each other's company but with a zest for life and a love of human company.
They weigh in at 26-30KG each, and stand proud at approximately 77cm head to foot, and 60cm length, with Oli being the more solid of the two.
This delightful pair are very laid back and happiest in each other's company. Oli is a bit more pushy than Stan and will push to the front if he feels that Stan is getting more fuss than he is! They play together quite happily - fetch, chasing and tug of war - and whilst they are more than happy to meet and interact with other dogs, they will quickly go back to their own games. Oli isn't a fan of the hot weather, preferring the shade and will love it if you get the hose pipe out to cool him down - although Stan will run and hide! Oli is always on the go, not even stopping to perform natural functions - all done on the move!!!
They are happy to travel in the car for a special walk, but are equally happy tearing about the nearby woods. Their recall is excellent.
Although currently they are living in a home with 2 adults, they have been used to living in a family setting with young children. More important than the profile of the family unit is a home where they will be the absolute centre of attention, with the stimulation, interaction and love that two energetic full of life doodle boys need. As they are so content in each other's company we are seeking a family with no other dogs and no cats.
They are neutered, chipped and up to date with all vaccinations and have no medical conditions (although Stan did require surgery after swallowing a toy)! They have been with their existing family since they were puppies. They are not insured.
Whilst Stan and Oli can be left for short periods, they are social doodles that love people and are happiest when they are within the family setting. They would therefore suit a family where there is an adult at home most of the time. They sleep together on their dog bed, and tend not to jump onto human furniture.
They eat healthily, twice a day, both wet and dry food. They will need regular grooming (every couple of months or so) and are quite happy to visit the groomers and have a nice pamper! Oli does tend to get dirty ears but is happy for these to be cleaned.
Stan and Oli are based in Hampshire. A rehoming fee of £500 will apply.
They weigh in at 26-30KG each, and stand proud at approximately 77cm head to foot, and 60cm length, with Oli being the more solid of the two.

BEAUTIFUL HARLEY!!
**NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME**
**NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME**
She is a two-year-old goldendoodle looking for her new family. Harley is currently living with her foster mum and foster sister (another goldendoodle) in Leeds.
Harley joined the DFR family because her previous owner was struggling with her anxieties. She came from a busy home with children and wasn’t coping well.
Harley will need a family where someone is around for most of the day. She can’t be left for any extended period of time because she will grow anxious and it is likely that she may vomit or have diarrhoea. Harley currently sleeps in her fosterers room with the resident dog and has slept soundly every night apart from the night she arrived in foster. It is likely that she will be unsettled when she first arrives in her new home, but after a few days will be much better. She likes to know where her fosterer is as much as possible. She also likes to bark to make herself known!
She does not enjoy car travel and will excessively drool if in the car for any longer than a short trip. Her fosterer has been working on building up Harley’s tolerance to trips in the car and in a short time has already seen an improvement. Her new owner will need to have local access to suitable areas for Harley to exercise in and should not be reliant on car trips for walks.
Harley does not enjoy trips to the groomers or vets. She can become extremely anxious during visits. She will drool and pant heavily and as a result of the overwhelming emotions can experience vomiting and diarrhoea. While in foster, Harley has had a visit from a home groomer and did okay with this. It was a short trim and tidy up and she did pant during the session but showed none of the extreme manifestations of her anxiety detailed above. Her new owner must only use a home-groomer for Harley and her tolerance to these visits will need to be built up over time with short visits. She isn’t a massive fan of being bathed and brushed but will tolerate this with lots of praise and having breaks in between brushing. Harley does not like having her nails trimmed, so again her owner will need to work on building up to this with lots of positive reinforcement. After her baths Harley loves to engage in a bit of a doodle dash!
Harley is quite shy when you first meet her, but once she gets to know you, she falls in love. Her previous owner has said that she can be wary (she will shy away and run to avoid them) of smaller dogs due to an attack when she was younger, but she gets on fine with dogs her own size. She has gotten along with her fosterers resident dog and also enjoyed playing with other dogs in the local park. It is essential that Harley’s new home has at least one calm resident dog (neutered) to show her that everything is going to be okay. She hasn’t met any cats.
Harley knows some basic commands and is a fast learner. She has good recall but due to her anxieties and fears she must not be let off lead by her new owner until they are 100% confident that she is happy to come back to you. She does love to have a run around off lead so a home with lots of outdoor space or an enclosed area within walking distance of your home will be ideal to build up Harley’s recall with you.
Like many doodles, Harley can be a bit fussy with food. She is currently fed butternut box but has days where she doesn’t feel like eating it. She enjoys scrambled eggs, poached eggs and chicken that she has persuaded her foster to make for her with her giant puppy dog eyes. Her vet would like Harley to gain around 5kg (she currently weighs 23kg) so a high protein, nutritious food that Harley likes will be needed if you decide to transition her onto something new. She enjoys treats and LOVES a kong stuffed with Philadelphia cheese and other goodies.
Harley needs an adult only home or a home where resident children are 14 years plus. Her family need to be willing to devote a lot of time to making her comfortable and to strive to bring out the happy, confident dog that we know she can be!
Harley is a gorgeous, cuddly and loving dog and will make a wonderful addition to your family. She just needs someone who understands her little quirks and needs. She is a funny dood, as her foster has warned us that her new owner will need to keep the lid of the toilet down as she loves to sample the water from that! She also loves to play in water and to have a swim. It’s a great way for her to burn energy and take her mind off her worries. She recently visited a pub and had a lovely time! So when she’s comfortable she’ll be able to accompany you on little visits too!
To be considered to adopt Harley, please complete the online application form, ensuring your responses reflect your family’s normal work/school/social circumstances and not those imposed by Covid-19 lockdown/restrictions. Please answer questions fully, giving as much information as possible. All family members, plus any resident dogs, will need to travel to meet Harley at least twice at her foster home in Leeds.

Things to Consider...
NOTE: All rehomed dogs will take time to settle into their new home, and it is to be expected that the dog will present with uncharacteristic and even undesirable behaviours in the days and weeks following rehoming. If you are not prepared to accommodate this, do NOT apply for dogs available for rehoming in this group!
- If you are considering offering a home to a poodle cross, please don't fall for the myths about these dogs being non-shedding, hypoallergenic etc. It is entirely possible to have no reaction to one dog whilst another of the same poodle cross will trigger an allergic reaction. Also, its possible not to react to a puppy coat but to react to the adult coat when it comes in. Allergies to a dog are amongst the most common reasons for rehoming and Doodles for Rehoming's ethos is to support owners in ensuring that their dog’s next home will be its last.
- Poodle crosses are usually high energy dogs who require attention, mental stimulation and frequent walks/regular exercise if they are not to become destructive, anxious or depressed. If your family work full time, unless you are prepared to cover the cost of doggy daycare or make other arrangements to ensure the dog is not left alone for long hours day in, day out, it is unlikely you will be successful in rehoming through the group as the needs of the dogs must come first. Most poodle crosses require regular professional grooming to prevent painful matting.
- Please do not offer a home to any dog on this group if you are not absolutely certain you can meet its needs
