Personality

Pepsi is incredibly affectionate, playful, and loves nothing more than being near her special people. She’s a smart little doodle who enjoys training and mental stimulation, and you cannot help but smile when she’s around you.

She’s the sort of dog who will want to come on walks, trips, holidays, wherever you are, she’ll want to be too. She very much deserves to be at the centre of her family, involved in everything you do. She loves being near you, and will settle happily at your feet when you are working. She has always slept in her owners bedroom (on their bed) and this has continued in her foster home, and we would like this to continue in her forever home.

Like many young dogs, she can at times be a little overwhelmed and excitable in too busy places, although this is improving with her foster family’s support. She needs someone patient who understands that confidence grows with positive experiences, and consideration needs to be applied for experiences to be positive.

Ideal Home

Pepsi would suit someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and likes the idea of doing things with their dog. Walks, exploring, training, all at Pepsi’s pace and when she is ready.

She’d do best in a home:

• With time for training, exercise and enrichment

• Happy to continue with lead walking and recall training

• With confident, calm handling and a commitment to positive, reward-based training

• Perhaps with another well matched neutered/spayed dog

• Pepsi is not cat tested, so introductions would need careful management

• Pepsi is crate trained but has chosen not to make use of her crate whilst in foster

• Where children/frequently visiting children are aged 10 years or over

• No holidays or breaks booked unless you can take Pepsi with you

• All family members (including any dog(s)) will need to meet Pepsi before adoption

Training Requirements

Pepsi absolutely loves to learn, is food motivated, intelligent, and responds well to positive methods, which makes her a really rewarding dog to work with. Her lead walking and recall training, whilst improving, will need to be continued

Doodle Rescue only supports positive, force-free training methods. Those who know these dogs will know that doodles are highly sensitive dogs which can easily be sent into a tail spin if subtle signs of anxiety are missed and if resultant behaviours are mishandled. We expect our fosterers and adopters to employ positive, reward based training techniques which these dogs respond well to. We categorically do not support and will not tolerate the use of aversive, punitive “training techniques” on our dogs.

Doodle Rescue is run by a small team of volunteers. We regret that we are unable to respond to unsuccessful applicants individually. If your application has been shortlisted to the next stage of our vetting process, or if we require additional information to enable us to fully consider your application, one of our volunteer admin will contact you via Facebook Messenger, by email or by phone/SMS within 3 days of your adoption application form submission. If you do not hear from us within this time frame, regrettably your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. We endeavour to provide sufficient information in each dog’s adoption bio to give an overview of our assessment of the dog and the required criteria to be considered to adopt the dog, to enable interested parties to assess suitability before submitting an adoption application. We regret that at this early stage of our vetting processes it is not possible for our volunteer admins to respond to requests for further information on a dog available for foster or adoption since – with limited resources and time - we must prioritise finding the right home for the dog and we are grateful for your understanding in this matter. We regret that we are unable to enter into any correspondence with unsuccessful applicants or with those who are considering submitting an application but who have not yet done so. Note: due to GDPR we do not retain unsuccessful applications on our system and a new application will need to be submitted for any other available dogs

Please be aware that our vetting processes are thorough to ensure the welfare of the dogs and by submitting an application you are agreeing to cooperate with our processes, which will include a home check and references.
