I know many people are looking to expand their Doodle Family. If you may be one of them, check out petfinder.com

I can't believe all the doodle in shelters! There is Mama, Molly McDoodle, with a litter of puppies. I wish I could rescue them all, but most are located too far from me.

Will check out pet finder I have had several inquires lately that can't afford a lot of money this might be the way for them to go. Thanks for the info.

You can have them check out this site too. I update it almost daily with LD's and GD's. There are way too many cute LD's on there. If I could rescue them all, I would, but unfortunately I can't.

http://www.poomixrescue.com/ sent me an email sometime yesterday about Midnight a GD. Today we met him and he is such a charmer!! Our application has been submitted and we are excitedly waiting to see if we get excepted to love and spoil him for life. Wish us luck!!

 

[Shannon(Phantom-Star)]

That must ahve been Jo. She also volunteers. He is a gorgeous guy, just wondering how much he will be. I know they said he was there to try and raise money. He is absolutely the cutest guy. Let us know what happens.

Good luck Anne! Please let us know how it goes...it would be so nice to match you up with a sweet GD!

Hi Shannon, Your right about it being Jo. I just sent off a thank you note to her for the heads up on Midnight. And if we are excepted to adopt him it will be $800. It's going to a good cause. Also I have been saving for a doodle since Oct. which by the way was when he was born. <grin> And thanks Jac, I'll keep you all posted on what happens.

That is great and it is going to a good cause. these doodles are so wonderful, and I am so happy that you may be getting him. He really is just too cute!! I send her the ones on petfinder and she sends the emails, and she sends me what she finds, and I post them to the website. It has been working out great, and we just love to see people adopt them and post about it!!

 

[AnneG]

Well I just had to look at Midnights picture one more time so I went to petfinder to take a peek and found that they have raised his price to $10000 but I am guessing they ment $1,000. Does anyone know if this is standard practice? Does he go to the highest bidder? :? I was nervous before! Now I am really nervous.

 

[Shannon(Phantom-Star)]

To be honest with you, I have not known this to be standard practice at all. I would call the shelter and find out. I know that they are trying to raise money, but that whole thing was new to me. If they told you it was 800, then it should be that. Definitely call or email.

 

[AnneG]

The Shelter called me back this morning and said that it was a miscommunication between the person who posts the info and the shelter.  The cost is still $800 since that was what was posted originally. And they just accepted another sweet dog that has heart worm and will need med. Attention so part of the money will go to that. It truly is a great program!! What a relief!!
Now the BEST news!!! We have been excepted to adopt Midnight!!! I will be picking him up Friday afternoon and was advised to take him straight to a groomer, for he is kind of a mess. YIPPPPPPPPYYYYYYY I just can't wait!!!!! I am keeping it a secret from the family for now. The plan is to get a big bow and have Midnight waiting for The Hubby at the door. Today is his birthday and Midnight will be his surprise present!! What wonderful timing!! Plan on hearing from me soon and often for We will need all the advise we can get/find on this forum.
Proud to sign off,
Midnights Mom

Congratulations Anne! Welcome to the wonderful world of doodles. I was considering Midnight myself! He's gorgeous. So glad that you are able to open up your heart and your home to him. Enjoy!

Congratulations on Midnight! I am so jealous!! I so want to rehome a female as a companion for Dakota, but my husband is just not on that page yet. But I'll wear him down!!

Congratulations Anne and Midnight! He is a stunning puppy! I am certain that you will be in puppy heaven!
Keep us posted about Midnight's arrival and the birthday surprise!

 

[Shannon(Phantom-Star)]

Congratulations Anne!!! When you get him send me a pic, and I will post the adoption on the adopted page of the rescue site. That is just great!!! Congratulations again!!

 

[bmeb012000]

Wow! You and your husband going to have great time. Congratulations!

 

[Shannon(Phantom-Star)]

Okay, so how did the big day go??? Pictures please!!

 

[AnneG]

Wow!!! He is just soooo awesome. We picked him up at 2:00 today and had to take him to the groomers before taking him home. He is not shy at all, but there was a challenge getting him into the car. Once we got home he raced around the whole house and yard and checked out all his new toys &#8230;. What energy this pup has!! J The Hubby was thrilled to meet him. Of course it wasn't the surprise I was hoping for. He was home before us but it was still fun to see them meet for the first time. It's been a fun evening watching Midnight explore and play. He is very under weight but it doesn't show with all that fluff hiding it. Can't wait to fatten him up!! We will work on getting pictures to show everyone ASAP. For now I need to find the thread on best food, chews, and brushes/combs. Thanks for all the "Welcomes" and "Congrats"
The new, proud Doodle Family

 

[Shannon(Phantom-Star)]

Wow, well congrats again!!! I am sooo happy for you and Midnight!!
