This is Josey, the new member of our now 3-dog family. We got her through the Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin (GRROW), where her mother was rescued from a puppy mill. She's a Golden Doodle...we've never had any interest in poodles, but after talking to several folks who own them I told GRROW that we'd take her. And I'm glad I did! It's been 8+ years since we've had a puppy in this house, but I have to say she's training very quickly. Now if only I could get my two old boys (a Newfoundland and a Golden Retriever) to give her the time of day. I'd highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a dog to go through your local rescue organizations. We learned that there are over 2000 Golden Retrievers in Wisconsin alone that are in need of adoption. It was a great experience for us, and when the time comes, we'll definitely adopt and/or foster another dog from a rescue organization. Josey ( photo / image / picture from kaseylib's Garden )
Oh... my goodness. How cute can one puppy be??? How old is she? It makes me want a puppy too.... I am supporter of the Rescue groups too -- best way to go. Have fun with her! What does she think of the two old boys?
I firmly believe in rescue societies for adding to your furry family and I think you've struck gold with that adorable pup of yours. Does she have a name yet? She looks so soft and cuddly that I want to reach into my computer and give her a hug.
You did a great thing by adopting her kaseylib, at least Josey got her forever home, I hope the rest are as lucky. It is so sad to see Golden Doodles in rescue groups already. I do not believe in designer dogs, there's enough dogs being abused and neglected now. All of my dogs are rescues.
My brother has a rescue labradoodle also. Great dog. Both of our Dobies are rescues. Great job! You got a lovely gal and she looks like quite the personality. Babies are such fun.
Josey is soooo cute. I would love to pet and squeeze her. Poodles are so smart and I bet she got lots of poodle genes. She has such a sweet face.
Oh kaseylib Josey is adoreable. Such a little cutie. I remember when Busby came into our house our older dog Bobbie took a little while to accept him but once he did they got on really well, apart from the odd scrap as Busby grew and tried to take liberties
She sure is a cutie. Our Chance came from a box outside of a K-Mart store just before Christmas one year. Did your watering can survive? dooley
Yes, Dooley, my watering can is fine an free of holes!!! Josey's been a great pup so far and we couldn't be happier! And thanks for the hope Gardengirl...my two old boys still won't give her the time of day!
