Doodle Rescue Collective, Inc. (DRC) is a national 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, charitable organization since 2009. Comprised of a "collective" of volunteers dedicated to Labradoodle & Goldendoodle rescue and education, DRC provides refuge, foster homes, vet care, rehabilitation, transport and quality forever homes for doodle dogs in need. DRC also provides re-home assistance, support services and educational resources for doodle owners, aspiring owners, rescuers and enthusiasts.
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER
Our doodles are housed and cared for in volunteer foster homes with loving families throughout the US and CANADA. We are proud to work collaboratively and cooperatively with other rescue organizations providing loving foster homes, facilitating rescue efforts and adoptions and ensuring the safety of homeless doodles throughout North America.
Through and with our programs, services, outreach and educational resources, DRC promotes, inspires and encourages humane volunteerism, responsible companion animal care, ownership and breeding practices and increases public awareness of the plight of the doodle dog associated with the commercial puppy mill and pet trade industry.

Additional adoption info
DRC has strict adoption requirements and policies that are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of every doodle dog in our program.
• We require phone interviews, reference and vet checks and a home visit when possible.
• If you rent, you must have permission from your landlord to keep animals.
• If you have children under the age of 12, a PHYSICAL FENCE is required.
• DRC only adopts doodle dogs to families who will keep them as "inside" pets.
Our Adoption Donations range from: $200 - $395 depending on the age, health and temperament of each dog. In many and most cases a dog's expenses are far greater than the amount of the adoption fee we are requesting.
• DRC DOES NOT SHIP DOGS. Only on the rare occasions when our doodles are fostered in areas of the country where it is difficult to place them in appropriate homes locally will we consider transport. In those rare cases transport costs are in addition to the adoption fee and at the expense of the adopter.
During their stay within our rescue & foster program, our doodle dogs are first provided with a safe home environment, complete veterinary care, including immunizations, worming, HW testing and preventatives, flea and tick preventatives, spay/neuter and micro-chipping. Any and all health issues that DRC are aware of prior to adoption are evaluated/assessed and treated before placing that dog into a permanent home.
DRC addresses all behavioral issues through the practice of “positive reinforcement” training techniques implemented while the dog is in a foster home environment. This includes evaluation, stabilization, socialization, basic training, housebreaking, crate training, personality/activity compatibility with potential adoptive families.
