ADOPTED ON 05-22-15 - Fran had a very rough start to life, but we have assured her that she will NEVER be mistreated again. Fran was previously tied outside to a tree and very mistreated. She used to be extremely nervous, but through her time in foster care, she has been learning that humans can be kind and loving, and that she can trust them again. Fran is so special, she even has her very own recliner in her foster home. Fran is a 3 year old female Labradoodle. She is 44 pounds, spayed and up to date on all vaccinations.
Fran will be available to come north after June 1st.
This dog cannot be adopted to Massachusetts residents due to new laws regarding rescue dogs being prohibited from adoption. Please contact Patricia Cabral at: 617-626-1786 or Mike Cahill at: 617-626-1794 for questions regarding what dogs you are allowed to adopt.
RESCUE IS THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM
Fran is the biggest sweetheart. She waits for her foster mother to come home from work every day in the window, and when she sees her car, she goes wild with joy!! She loves to be with her people and she even gives hugs! Fran has an affection for puddles, but ironically, she does not know how to swim. Her foster home has a pool, but she will not go in it. Fran enjoys chasing the cows on the farm and playing outside with the neighbors dogs. She has an indoor cat friend she gets along with, but does tend to chase the cats outside as well as squirrels. Fran's foster home includes 3 children who she loves, plays with and sleeps with. She is fully house trained, but has never been crated. Fran has walked on a leash before with no problem. Fran is a little unsure of the car at first, but settles down easily in the backseat. Fran is also a little unsure of bad weather, but that is because she was tied outside for so long.
Fran is very loving and sweet, but due to her past she does need a few minutes to warm up to new people and animals. However, it does not take her very long because she is very curious, and wants to see what they are all about. Fran is a dog that does best with routine as it helps her feel secure and relaxed. Routine is key for any dog, but we cannot emphasize this enough with Fran.
The ideal home for Fran would be a home with lots of room inside and outside for her to run and play. She would do best with another dog in the home for a companion, as playing with dogs is one of her favorite activities. Fran would love to go to a home with children, where she could hang out and be part of their daily activities and then cuddle with them at night. Fran has plenty of hugs to give if someone is willing to open their arms and their heart!!
ABOUT THE BREED:
Labradoodles are generally active and agile. They are happiest with daily walks and lots of outdoor play. Without enough attention and activity, they can get bored and restless. Also, if you can give your Labradoodle the opportunity to frolic in water, by all means do.
Labradoodles do not like to be left alone for hours on end. They love being around people and are able to form bonds with each member of the family, as opposed to bonding with just one person. Labradoodles are ideal family dogs, being both patient and playful with children. They also make superb watchdogs, barking zealously when strangers approach the home.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
