Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue Spotlight Dog!

Meet Doodle!


Doodle is a yellow Lab mix who came to DLRR in pretty bad shape from living on the streets, but he is all healthy and happy now, active and bright-eyed. He's gentle, very cuddly and affectionate, and a real sweetie. He has charmed his foster family with his adorable, clown-like antics and his loving personality. He is calm and well-behaved in the house, and walks very well on a leash using a head halter. He is housebroken and has easily learned several basic obedience commands, though he'll benefit from some more formal training. He is an angel about ear cleanings and nail trimmings. He is very good with children, and not good with cats or other small animals.
Doodle is on the smaller side, absolutely adores a soft comfy bed, has huge beautiful eyes, and runs like the wind! No drooling, counter-surfing, or ball obsession with this guy! He thinks he is a lap dog, and at 45 pounds, he can almost fit in your lap.
Doodle likes to play with most other dogs. Once he is comfortable with his new doggy friends, he'll initiate many fun games of chase and tug. He gets along fabulously with his foster big brother (a big mellow Lab) - he follows him around, copies him, and pesters him to play, just like little brothers do. He is fine left loose in his foster home when his people are away, as long as his foster brother is home with him.
Because of his difficult past, Doodle can be timid and anxious at first in new situations, though he adapts quickly. He needs a family that can spend a lot of time with him, and he would really like to have an active doggy housemate or two to play with and keep him company in his new home. He is taking an inexpensive daily medication to help with his anxiety. This adorable, sweet, and funny boy has a TON of personality and is overflowing with love to give. He is really blossoming in his foster home, but he deserves a forever home of his own! He will be a lovely pet for the right family.
