Buddy is a neutered 9-month-old Goldendoodle with very unusual coloring – his ears and the base of his tail are red-gold (like his Golden parent) and the rest of him is cream-colored (like his Poodle parent). He is high energy and needs lots of attention and exercise. The owner has 2 children, one autistic; they also have a cat and a small 8-pound dog, and she was overwhelmed. Buddy is so big and playful he would knock the kids over. He also would take the 2-year old’s pacifier from him very gently and chew on it. They could not give him the attention and exercise he needs. He needed more than he could get from the first family we chose for him, too. That family has three kids all of whom participate in sports, another dog and a highly-demanding job. We don’t know why they thought they would be able to manage another dog! So, after Buddy had all his vetting, an AGR couple fostered this big floppy-eared boy for a few days, until we moved him to his adoptive home. They renamed him Jaxon and told us:

Jaxon is the perfect addition to our family! He loves going for walks and playing tug-of-war with our other fur baby/his big sister Emmy (a black Goldendoodle). They sleep next to each other all day and play together at night. Even though Jaxon is 50 lbs, he thinks he’s a lap dog. He likes to curl up on any of the laps of our three kids, and they love it! We adore Jaxon! We feel so lucky to have him!

We know Jaxon has found the right home this time!
