Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Do you love frequent hugs with no time limit, curly hair and well-choreographed circle dancing? Abbie may be your answer for a forever housemate. She is approximately 2 1/2 years old, weighs 42 lbs. is a loving, affectionate doodle who loves people and kids. She loves all dogs, but has never met a cat while with our rescue. She does have some excitement pee when it’s time to go for a walk or when a new friend visits and other times too. But that is an easy fix by simply having her wear a diaper in her new home. A calm home for her is a must. We think she may have been abused before coming to our rescue. She loves all types of treats, and will follow one inside her crate. She has not been destructive, and is fine left free roam in the home. She walks well on leash and harness, but she will not go potty on leash so a fenced-in yard is required. She sleeps soundly with her foster mom on the human bed at night. She likes to fetch throwable toys. It seems soft toys are her preference. She barks when the doorbell rings, or when a stranger comes a callin'. She’s fine riding in the car. She is always in the same room with her people - she would prefer for people to be around her at all times. Abbie is young, playful, loyal, affectionate and energetic girl. ** Please read before applying for Abbie: *** Most doodle parents were never told about coat care. They just see "a cute dog." While doodles are low shedders and make wonderful pets, their coats are some of the most difficult and most expensive to maintain. They require more at-home brushing than a poodle and their hair can take twice as long for your groomer to wash and dry than a poodle. Due to their high maintenance, their grooming bill will be significantly higher than a poodle of the same size and they will need grooming more often. DAILY brushing and combing is a MUST to prevent painful mats, with professional grooming required every 4-6 weeks. At-home bath regimens are lengthy. Water will shrink up the two coat types and cause immediate matting. To avoid mats you will need to brush then comb the entire body properly when the pup is dry. This includes if your doodle gets wet from rain. Educate yourself by researching coat care of a doodle. If you are sure you have the time, patience and financial means to devote to Abbie, match ALL of the qualifications above, and you live in the greater Orlando area, please complete an application and tell us how you are the perfect family for her.
