Rehoming Application Form

Loki is reserved
​LOKI - GOLDENDOODLE - THREE YEARS OLD 
​LOKI IS IN CUMBRIA 

Loki is a three year old goldendoodle (standard poodle x golden retriever). He is currently in foster in Cumbria. He weighs around 26kg so is slightly underweight. He has a curly coat and will require daily brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks (he has recently been clipped short due to matting). Loki is booked in to be neutered in the next few days.
Loki is a typical, bouncy doodle who hasn’t realised he is 3 and no longer a puppy. Loki has unfortunately not had much training. He is full of excitement and loves to run. He needs an active home where an adult is around much of the day. He has lived with children in the past but due to his size and bounciness, a home with children over 10 is preferred or an adult only home. Loki came to us because his previous family were struggling with finding the time to work on his training and to meet his needs for regular exercise and mental stimulation. His boundless energy means that when he was going for lead walks he pulled a lot - and he is a big, strong boy, and wanted to explore as much as possible, as quickly as possible. While in foster his lead walking has improved, but this will be an aspect of training that needs to continue when he is in his new home. Loki needs owners who are fit and confident in their ability to manage his pulling while on the lead. He still requires some work on his recall and therefore the ability to manage him while on lead is essential. He should only be allowed off lead in an enclosed space or when you are confident in his recall. Loki’s previous owner was also struggling with toilet training, but since being in foster, apart from a few accidents at the beginning, he has been doing really well. It is to be expected that he may have the odd accident in his new home at first so training will need to be consistent.
Loki has enjoyed the fuss and attention he has received while in foster and he is a real people pleaser. He loves training games and working for treats. His new family must be prepared to provide Loki with lots of opportunities for fun learning and activities which he will enjoy, such as scent work, agility, canicross or flyball. He needs a home that can provide him with the love and attention that he deserves and has gotten used to, so therefore we are looking for a family where someone is around for a lot of the time and who is not working long hours, whether away from the home or inside it. He can be left for 2 hours maximum (a few times a week at most, not every day), but this will only be after he’s had time to settle into your family. Please do not apply if you currently work from home due to Covid or if your work situation is liable to change to working long hours outside of the home.
Loki’s new family must be active and willing to include him on all their adventures. He requires exercise and mental stimulation every day and a home where he is given sufficient opportunities for socialisation and time to engage in activities that he enjoys. He gets along well with most other dogs when slowly introduced, but can be a bit excited at first and currently has a tendency to try to dominate other male dogs – particularly those which are also dominant in their behaviour - which it is hoped his upcoming neutering may curb over the next few months, as testosterone levels reduce. Because of this, we are looking for a home where he will either be an only dog or one with a mature, calm spayed female dog – however, please consider Loki’s size, his lack of lead training and strength, and whether your family can manage to walk him with your dog(s)
Loki’s foster family absolutely adore him! He is a typical doodle - lots of fun, very affectionate and loving, and a very quick learner. They say he will make an absolutely fabulous addition to the right family.

​​Things to consider as a potential owner...

• 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 Doodle Rescue'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

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!
