Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (long coat). ABBY makes friends everywhere she goes! After her groom on Saturday at Steph’s Bubbles & Bows, she enjoyed a long walk and playtime back at the shelter, and introduced herself to a former adopter who dropped off donations for the shelter pets. Abby is on the “fluffy” side due to too much human food, from the stories we have heard. Obesity in dogs is a real thing, and spay surgery for overweight dogs is much more complicated. Ten pounds is her weight loss goal, and her new family will need to work hard to help her with that. We are seeing more of her lab characteristics as we spend time with her and introduce her to toys in the playyard. We were told she lived with cats (and her housemate-senior-cat Dexter was brought to the shelter at the same time), and kids. We hope to get a read on which dogs might be her best friends and encourage her to be more active in the next couple days.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labradoodle is a charming and increasingly popular hybrid breed, originating in Australia in the late 1980s with the goal of creating a guide dog for a visually impaired individual allergic to dog hair. This delightful canine combines the best traits of its parent breeds: the intelligent Poodle (Standard) and the friendly Labrador Retriever. Physically, Labradoodles boast a range of sizes and coat types, from wavy fleece to curly wool, often shed-reduced, making them a potential option for individuals with mild allergies. Their coats come in various colors, including cream, chocolate, and black. Temperamentally, they are known for being sociable, intelligent, and trainable, making them excellent family pets. They thrive on human companionship and require moderate exercise to stay happy and healthy. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they generally prefer homes with yards over small apartments, though daily walks are essential. Common health considerations, inherited from their parent breeds, can include hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers, so choosing a reputable breeder is crucial for a healthy companion.
