My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 9 months old



Gender: Female



Breed: Golden Doodle



Weight: 21 lbs



Loosey’s background: Loosey got out of adopters home and was unable to be caught. Babs Fry(the dog recovery expert) drove up to Nor Cal to set trap and successfully trap Loosey who had run away from home (we think due to abuse) and was on her own in the wild for about 2 weeks. She had been through the wringer and was in very bad shape emotionally and physically. She has made remarkable progress in such a short amount of time and absolutely loves playing with her foster brothers and meeting new friendly dogs at the dog park.



Personality: Loosey is so so sweet and cuddly after she starts trusting(takes a few days of decompression) that it's incredible! Her loyalty and love is unmatched. She is learning to enjoy car rides. She LOVES playing with balls and frisbees and playing with other dogs. Loves treats. Very anxious and nervous around kids, and gets spooked with quick movements and loud sounds. She has a huge smile when she is running with her foster brothers. She NEEDS dog siblings.



Education: Working on bathroom and leash training. Will need puppy lessons. Not yet used to a crate.



Favorite Activities: Walks with her foster brothers, playing with frisbees and balls, cuddling on the couch, getting belly rubs, playing and chasing other dogs.



Looking for: Loosey would positively thrive in a house with at least one other dog, preferably a couple dogs. Her foster brothers have really helped her come out of her shell and teach her how to be a puppy. She feels really safe with them and took her no time to feel like part of the dog squad. I don’t think she would do well with kids as they really scare her and make her nervous. A mellow household with somewhat active pups to keep her company and where she wouldn’t be alone too often would be best for her.



Special needs: It seems like Loosey was previously abused and takes a while to warm up to new people, but once she has she is super loyal. Can be afraid of meeting new people outside of her home, working on socializing her. She was an extreme flight risk when we first got her and she could not be off leash whatsoever. She is now great off leash, but Babs Fry who rescued her strongly believes her flight risk will be retriggered with the stress of going to a new home, so the adopters will have to be extremely careful until she is comfortable.



Adoption Fee: $ 1000

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We prioritize local San Diego applicants. We do not provide transport of dogs to other states, and don't allow the dogs to fly in the cargo of the plane.
Our adoption process from start to finish, involves 3 standard forms, and 2 situational.
All potential applicants must be capable of providing their adopted pet with routine and emergency veterinary care (yearly health checks, keeping vaccinations current, heartworm/flea preventatives, and immediate care in the event the animal is sick or injured). They are required to license their pet, and keep an identification tag on their pet at all times.
All applicants must agree to a home check, and provide us with a veterinary reference, or personal references if you're a first-time pet owner. Our home checks are not to invade the privacy of the applicants, we do this to ensure the pet is going into a safe home. We do not discriminate against non-homeowners, or those living in apartments, condos, or otherwise.
Our adoption fees vary from $150-1000.
Applicants must agree in writing that if for any reason they are unable to keep or care for their pet, the pet will be surrendered back to our rescue and not re-homed, turned over to a shelter, pound, rescue, new owner, sold, etc.
