Cadet, a recent rescue, was listed as a Poodle/Labrador Retriever, but we thought he was a Goldendoodle since he had a curve to his tail. He just had his first trip to the groomer and she thinks he is Labradoodle due to his coat being coarser. She said that his grooming requirements would be less and Labradoodles’ coats were easier to maintain. Cadet was guesstimated to be 2 years old but we thought he acted more like a puppy. Our groomer agreed with us and said he definitely still exhibits puppy characteristics and that he is probably around 10 to 14 months old. He will need a fenced yard to help him run off some of his boundless energy. He is crate trained and sleeps in a crate at night but he would not be able to tolerate being crated all day and then all night. He is about the same height as his foster mom’s 50 pound female Goldendoodle, but when he was taken in to the shelter, he only weighed 25 pounds on 6/16/23. He was extremely underweight but he's gaining weight. Cadet is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Cadet is being fostered in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $915 which includes his $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Cadet, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application.
You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
