Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (medium coat). Meet April! Lovely April is such a gorgeous dog! She was found wandering along a freeway in rural WA. Despite best efforts, no owner was able to be traced. April was in poor condition and very emaciated and scared. She had likely been wandering for some time. She is around 1.5 years old and around 50 lbs. April is settling into her foster home very well. It was clear when she arrived that she did not know anything about anything. Her foster family is wonderful and worked with her gently to introduce her to the home, the sounds, to a leash, to walks and finally some great adventures on the beach and in their boat. April is timid and a little unsure of herself and she finds great comfort in the other dog in her foster home. She follows him around and takes his cues and that helps her to be braver. April still has more to learn and more confidence to gain but she is doing very well. Her journey will continue in a forever home. We would like to see her in a home with another dog who is calm and confident. She will do best in a home without small children, who may be a bit overwhelming for her. She needs a secure fenced yard. A more quiet residential area will be great for her - busy streets with lots of traffic can be a bit scary still. April is such a beautiful soul and we hope to find her a family who see that and who are willing to continue working with her. April is vaccinated and chipped. She is scheduled to be spayed. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.

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.
