Young Labradoodle Needs Home

Lakeville MN

Description

I took in a 1yr old labradoodle off a puppy mill like farm hoping to give her a better life. Unfortunately my heart is bigger then my home and I really didnt think this through outside of getting her into a home. Shes too much for our house. Our other dogs hate her guts, our cats hate her guts. Kids say shes too much and my husband is at the point of "me or the dog" as I definitely didnt ask him about hauling in an additional body. She is a shy but sweet doodle. She seems like she has been abused and neglected so I've been trying my best to work with her. She will initially growl/bark at new people but warms up with some treats and reassurance. She hasn't done well at the dog park, but that may change with time she seems scared of other dogs in a large setting BUT with my dogs at home she is fine over all except she doesnt have any understanding of dog language. She will keep trying to rough house and play even when my other dogs are trying to tell her over and over they are DONE she is pretty relentless with the pestering. My dogs have been hiding out a lot lately to avoid interactions which sucks...I never meant to upset the whole household. She hasnt bothered my cats much, but my cats are LIVID...one has recently started peeing all over the house and never has done that in the 4 or 5years weve had cats. This doodlenoodle would probably be best with older kids because shes kinda like a bull in a China shop. She just doesnt realize she is a big clumsy dog. I was never sent any vet paperwork so my assumption is she hasnt had any vetting. I know shes not fixed as the previous owner was talking about using her has a breeder dog if she didnt sell. I did spend more then I'd like to admit to get her, plus the travel costs. So there will be an adoption fee, but idk what to actually charge so make a fair offer? Weve been working on crate training and housebreaking she was a farm dog so she does have accidents but is getting way better adjusting to house life and would thrive in a less chaotic environment with someone who has time to work one on one with her. I wanted this to work out but I bit off way more then I can chew in my tiny home already packed with humans and animals. I was told she is an F1 labradoodle. She is solid black and has straighter wavy hair but she was groomed short not that long ago so her hair isnt very fluffy anymore. She does shed but minimal. She also has happy tail and idk if it's because shes not quite used to houses but she will bust her tip of the tail on walls/door frames. Its pretty common for labs to get.
