22-040 Kenzie is a 4-year-old spayed Goldendoodle. Her owner’s husband had to have brain surgery and had to go to a group home. The owner was not able to care for the dog by herself – Kenzie is a high-energy, bouncy, rambunctious girl. She needed a younger family to give her exercise and attention. Our transporter picked up Luna in Gilbert (see 22-042) and another transporter picked up Kenzie in Surprise. They exchanged dogs in the PetSmart parking lot at Tempe Marketplace. Connie said: We must have looked hysterical trying to coordinate moving all the food, bins and beds and an extra crate plus the two dogs between the vehicles. Robin continued with Kenzie’s story… Kenzie rode well but got carsick, so Robin let the new adopters know about that. Kenzie met the resident 10-year old standard Poodle, Darcy, with no issues and Darcy seemed happy to have a new friend. Kenzie had been well cared for at her former home, so the only thing she needed at a vet was a valley fever test, which came back negative. Now that she has a new friend to play with, Kenzie has settled in and settled down some. When her adoption was finalized, the adopter wrote:

Kenzie is the best and is fitting right in. She likes to go on walks, play with her squeaker toys and roughhouse with our Standard Poodle Darcy. We recently discovered that Kenzie likes the tennis ball. Some quirks... she has the longest eyelashes I have ever seen on a dog, she likes to sleep on our bed and she is not a big fan of the pool! She doesn't even like walking through puddles! Kenzie is a perfect fit to our family and we thank Arizona Golden Rescue for choosing her to be our forever friend and companion.
