Program update on 22 Aug 2025 •…✨ We unexpectedly welcomed one of our F1b Goldendoodles back into our home. ✨ Her original family has been facing serious health challenges and, with heavy hearts, decided they could no longer care for her. She is now 4 months old and ready to meet her forever family. This sweet girl has been with us for about a week, and she’s already settled in beautifully. She is a happy, playful puppy with lots of energy. She loves to play with our 2 year old miniature poodle, gets along well with others, and is such a smart little one she knows how to sit and is very food motivated. We have her on a puppy schedule and she sleeps through the night in her kennel. She will make such a loving addition to the right home. 💕🐾 If you think your family might be the one for her, please reach out to us.
