Coco, now Roger, is one among 13 Goldendoodles we have rescued in 2021 so far. These mixed-breed dogs sell for a couple thousand dollars if purchased from a breeder! But the adoption fee for a 2 ½-year old like Roger is $375, so getting a Doodle from Rescue is a smoking deal, especially considering we cover the cost of all necessary vetting. In Roger’s case, that included heartworm and valley fever tests and neutering; all his vaccines were up to date. Roger’s family told us they had to move to an apartment where they could not have dogs. An apartment, even one that did not have a dog restriction, would not have been a good place for this very energetic boy – he’s a big, tall dog who doesn’t know the meaning of slow! Good thing his adopters have three teenaged boys, a pool and two other Goldendoodles – Roger is getting plenty of exercise! The adopters wrote:

Roger is a gem! He is full of energy and loves his fellow Doodles at our house (Martha age 2 and Sully age 7). He is thrilled with his human brothers (17, 15 and 13). He is very interested in Pearl, the cat, but Pearl is not interested in him! Roger is very athletic. He is an excellent swimmer and is a good companion runner. Roger has taken a series of beginner obedience classes and has started on ‘scent work’ classes. Scent work is great mental exercise for him, it gets him thinking and using his big nose. We are so happy that Roger has joined our family.

AGR is pleased that Roger has found his forever home with the best possible family!
