Arizona Golden Rescue

Zoey is a two-year-old, white-and-tan Goldendoodle. She and her brother were living in an apartment and being far too vocal while their owner was at a work. Thanks to their barking, the owner was facing eviction if she did not address the issue quickly. An adoptive couple promptly gave Zoey a new home. While many Doodles don’t shed or only shed minimally, they do need regular grooming – many like Zoey have hair instead of fur, and their hair grows just like ours does. Zoey came in pretty shaggy. With a good grooming, she looked like a different dog. The resident dog wasn’t enthusiastic about the prospect of a sibling, but Zoey is the kind of dog that gets along with everyone. As her adopter wrote later: "Zoey and Charlie (our original pup) have become pals and play without issue. We’ve taken her to the dog park a couple of times and she’s done well there around other dogs and people. She is also eating regularly and is clearly food motivated. Treats have helped refresh her memory on coming when called and sitting.” It is relatively easy to train (or retrain) a food-motivated dog, and we are happy that Zoey has responded."
