Sedona is an adorable 4-year-old Goldendoodle, who is a pretty amber/apricot color. Her owners recently had a baby and every time the baby would cry, Sedona would howl, which made the baby cry more, which made Sedona howl more – a vicious and noisy circle. The owners tried to console Sedona by distracting her or putting her outside, but nothing worked, so they had no choice but to surrender her to Rescue. She was placed with an adoptive couple in Phoenix. They immediately fell in love with this pretty girl. They had been hoping for a Doodle and were beyond happy with Sedona. During the follow-up call with the adopters, the man was in the background yelling that Sedona is a covers hog. She was reluctant to get up on the bed at first, but once coaxed up she sleeps there quietly all night. She had been free-fed at her owner’s home, so she was somewhat overweight. She was started on the green bean diet promptly and is being fed only twice a day. Although the owner reported that Sedona did not play with toys, the adopters have found that she loves her toys. She also loves her walks, which she gets three times a day. The adopters related:

Our lives are so much better since Sedona arrived! We can’t wait to get home from work to be greeted by her wiggly body and high pitched howl of happiness and excitement! We’ve changed plans just to be home with her or done things specifically so we could take her with us… she’s so happy and social and full of life and sweetness. The daily walks are for her but so good for everyone’s health and mental stability. We’ve met neighbors and made new friends because she wants to stop and say hello or greet another dog. She is very snuggly and wants bodily contact – often sits across our laps in the recliner or stands with her head on a lap while we’re at the computer. Everyone needs a puppy hug each day and OHHHHH the puppy kisses! We sleep better with her tucked in between us, usually with a head on one of us and her butt pushed up against the other… the security and warmth are unconditional. There’s more laughter in the house with rounds of tug-of-war and watching her fling her many toys around the living room. Or watching her fall asleep in the most awkward, crazy positions. Friends and extended family are stopping by to meet or just love on her – she knows no stranger and loves everyone, so the house has been alive and full! She is definitely an Arizona dog and hates the wet grass on her feet! New Year’s Eve she was unphased by the fireworks and neighborhood commotion – slept through it all! LOVES her toys and stuffed animals but will not chase a ball for any reason! She is a social eater – we put her dish in the dining room and “serve” her supper when we eat so we have a family meal! We canNOT thank AGR enough for the joy, love and happiness of our Goldendoodle Girl!
