Labradoodle Rescue & Goldendoodle Rescue
I wish I could tell you how my life started. Whether it was in a cramped cage in a puppy mill or whether my life had a happier beginning.
I wish I could tell you the story behind why I ended up for adoption, but truthfully I don’t really know if I understand the reason myself.
I do know one thing: I am a special dog. I am just as valuable as any dog purchased from a breeder at top dollar…in fact I am even more special because I need you sooo very much.
I had a rough start at life. Maybe my family didn’t have time for me or maybe I was more work than they could handle (hey, keeping this beautiful coat looking good is no easy task and I understand that) but I am special too.
I deserve the same love and attention that you would give to a dog for which you paid hundreds or thousands of dollars and I am not just a budget friendly option.
I am special, but for whatever reason I need a new home.
I am not a discount dog or clearance dog. Please don’t want me just because I come at a lower price. Want me because I am special. Want me because you will love me. That is why I want you.
I will love you with all of my heart. You will mean the world to me. My body will wiggle with excitement as soon as you walk in the door and I will shower you with doodle kisses.
Want me despite the fact that I have an unknown past. Please understand that I may seem timid and shy for awhile, but that goes back to my unknown past. I will love you, I promise. Just don’t want me because I seem like a good bargain.
Understand that even though I can come into your life for much cheaper than a breeder’s pup, my lifetime costs will be the same. I guarantee that I LOVE to eat and quality food doesn’t come cheap. Treats and toys will be great too (although I may be afraid to take treats from your hand at first or may not know how to play with toys, but give me time and I’ll come around).
I will depend on you to keep me looking my best, which will mean trips to the groomers every 6 weeks or so and I know that will cost you money, but we both want me to look cute and cuddly, right?
I promise to try not to get sick (the vet kinda scares me) but I there will definitely be times when I really need to be seen. I may already have some medical issues or some may pop up in the future, but I hope that you and the vet will do whatever it takes to keep me healthy for the rest of my life. Wow…now that I think about it, I am a lot of work and do cost a lot of money every year, but I promise to pay you back with more love than you can even imagine.
So please, want me because I am special. Want me because we can mean the world to each other. Just don’t want me because you can get me at a good price.

thanks for reading it. sometimes I feel like people want a "rescue dog" for all the wrong reasons.
I think this needs to be emailed to every applicant that applies for a dog. Thank you for sharing this Amy!
Oh Amy this beautiful!....Jeannine and I were reading it first thing this morning and had to fight to hold back tears......Thank you for putting our pup's thoughts into words......: )
