Story
In Moneta: My name is Dove and I am often called Ms. Dove by my foster mom because I frequently poodle pose so elegantly. I was rescued in Oklahoma.
I’m a 5-month-old, female, 12-pound Aussiedoodle with an interest in everything – so much is new to me! I am an excellent eater, talker and companion as I like to be involved in anything and everything that goes on both in the house and outside in the yard. I’m happiest when my humans are within sight and close enough for lots of tender pets and good cuddles. I'm a real people pleaser and velcro pup!
I have beautiful blue merle markings, a pink highlighted nose, blue eyes and the cutest curlicue tail that question marks over my back.
I’m still learning all the wonders of the world from birds singing to geese floating by on the big body of lake water, the joys of rain (not sure about thunder), and how I can play equally with all the myriads of toys in my toybox. Since I am highly intelligent, I need an adopter who will work to keep my mind and body busy. Dog sports, puzzles, obedience training, rally, therapy, I’m ready for just about anything!
When awake, I’m very alert, engaged and interested in doing things, demonstrating strong vision and hearing skills. Just today I mastered coming down the stairs at full puppy speed. I love to chase my toys and am a pretty good retriever, whatever it takes to keep the game going! I sleep well through the night in a crate with line of sight to my foster dad. He’s happy that I only need to go out usually once during the night.
I am open and friendly to other dogs so I can fit easily into a single or multi-pet home. I’m learning basic commands and have almost mastered potty training. One thing I can assure you – you’ll be showered with love and affection!
Dove is being fostered in Moneta, VA and is utd on vaccines and preventatives and also microchipped. She will need to be spayed when she is old enough.
We do NOT know if Dove has a hypoallergenic coat and that may not be apparent until her adult coat comes in. She will need regular grooming to keep the poodle curls/aussie length beautiful.
If Dove sounds perfect for you, please fill out our application:

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family, a $50 REFUNDABLE spay deposit that will be refunded upon proof of spay and a $100 transport fee which is 1/2 of what we paid to transport her from Oklahoma to Virginia.
