Story
Bailey is a very fluffy, soft, shy girlie around 1 yr old. She's a perfect medium size - around 35lbs. She gets along great with other pups of all sizes and adores her canine companions - would do best in a home with another dog. She is an active pup who is as happy watching Netflix as she is going for a walk. She's great with children as well, just an easy-going dog who happens to also be super cute! She will need regular grooming every 6 weeks so please understand the expense of a dog like this. Bailey is still working on her housetraining and needs a patient family to help her learn. Bailey is located in Houston TX. There will be a video meet and greet upon approved application. Transport will be arranged at that time. Her fee is $850.

Labradoodle Bouvier des Flandres

Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ember is a very energetic and fun medium sized pup (55lbs). She's young (1-2yrs) and vibrant and looking for a home where she can participate in family activities like hikes and walks and Netflix nights. She's as good of a snuggler as she is a jogging companion. Her fur is soft and fluffy and she is lower shedding but we CANNOT guarantee hypoallergenic. She is strong and requires a fit owner who can handle a large and active pup. She did have some matting that resulted in dry skin (hence the shaved spot) that was exmained by a vet who performed a skin scraping to ensure there was no mange or underlying condition (test results were negative). She should be kept on a high quality kibble with fish oil supplements. Ember is located in Houston TX and can be picked up there or we can discuss transport options. Her fee is $850. Meet and greets are done via video chat after an approved application has been submitted. Complete an application for her at recycleddogsrescue.org if interested!

Story
Chewbacca is the sweetest little nugget you'll ever meet who is always at your side snuggled up. He's a terrier though, so he can be feisty walking by other dogs on a leash but he's all bark and no bite. He adores his people and would do best in a home with children, another playful small dog and a family who is home often. He does mark inside on occasion but is housetrained most of the time. His fee is $850 - he is located in Houston TX and will transported upon completed adoption. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED AT: www.recycleddogsrescue.org/adoption-application
