22-052 Herman  is a 3 1⁄2-month-old male Goldendoodle. The surrendering owner (SO) had legal custody of her 13-year-old grandson and a friend gave them  Herman . They had the dog only 10 days when the SO realized that the grandson was not bonding with the dog and while he would feed him didn’t take any interest in him. Her husband is disabled, and  Herman  was under his feet  and almost tripped him. The friend that gave them the puppy says he had a parvo shot but doesn’t have any papers to show that or any other shots, so we had to start all over with the vaccines. We will issue an addendum for a neuter to his adoption finalization. He was placed with an adoptive family in Scottsdale . They have mini-Goldendoodle,  Charlie , and a senior cat named  Ginger  .  Herman  made immediate friends with  Charlie . They make quite a striking pair because  Charlie  is white and  Herman  is an amber color. They were about the same size when we delivered Herman , but now Herman is considerably  bigger and will end up about twice  Charlie’s  size. At first, the family didn’t like his name, but it grew on them and they decided not to change it . Here is what the adopter related:

Oh where to start... ever since the day we adopted  Herman , he has been the best addition to our family. His name matches his personality perfectly. From jumping in the pool, to fetch toys, to falling off the couch because he is a bit clumsy, he always makes us laugh. He quickly bonded with his big brother,  Charlie  and is quite playful  with his cat brother,  Ginger . He loves to go on car rides and eats  his food lying down. He experienced the dog park for the first time  a few days ago and loved the freedom to run and play with other dogs. We are so lucky to have found  Herman  when we did, and it all fell into place perfectly. He has been the perfect addition to our family. Thank you  Arizona Golden Rescue  for bringing  Herman  to us. 

We are happy that the dog has worked out so well with this family. He has two animal companions and three ladies who dote on him and give him the attention he deserves.
