Heath :- Chester snapped his Dew claw off but no issues from that, it just grew back

Had one or two ear infections but other than that he is in very good health

No known allergies

Grooming Requirements

Chester has soft wavy coat ,only sheds minimally,as all dogs shed some amount

He does not mind being brushed at home ,we recommend every few days

Chester attends a professional groomers every 7 to 8 weeks and is very well behaved at the salon

Exercise

Chester has two walks per ,day he so loves going out for his exercise

He may pull on his walks,owners use a Halti,you may like to swap this first a comfortable harness later

His recall is adverse could do with some training in this de parent,he can get easily distracted whilst out and about

As a responsible charity ,we do not recommend allowing any newly rescued dog off lead,until such times he or she has the confidence and trust to come back to you

Chester interacts with dogs very well,but does a bit deaf when being called back as he is having so much fun

As we know not all dogs are friendly ,so do keep control of him at all times,training yourself to train him ,would be perfect bonding

Chester is very food motivated ,thus being good for all his training purposes

Further Information

Chester is lively and bouncy but calms down after people come into his home

Owners have tried hard to prevent him jumping up ,and he is pretty good but always needs some distraction in this department

He is a very loving, cuddly dog ,although he is not allowed on the furniture , he will cuddle up to you on the floor

Chester likes to lick his humans,not all humans react well to this ,but we thought we we just highlight this,as doodle beards can be lovely ,even if you do not appreciate it

Chester is a very affectionate boy and very soppy in his character

He has never shown any aggressive behaviour or bitten

Chesters quirks ,he lays on the floor ,when he sees another dog, and then pounces in a playful way

He does run as fast as he can when he sees people ,which can be a bit a intimidating ,his owners do put him back on a lead when walking in the woods ,especially if they see children ,as they wouldn't want him to accidently knock them over.

Chesters is quite well socialised, however as he is very bouncy and loves to steal food and drink any drinks, ownersdo have to lock him out the room ,when people come over

They do not take him to other peoples houses because you need eyes in the back of your head,as a food and drink thief (more training and keeping edibles out of reach of Chester’s reach is a must)

You must not leave any food about and you must have a dog proof bin

Owners think he got sick from chicken ,but could have been something he ate from the bins

Chester is toilet trained, but we always like to state accidents may occur with any dog entering a new environment

Never been destructive in his home

Chester is not crate trained

Car travel ;- fair traveller,however he hasnt been in the car that often but does moan a little bit but will settle down

We think again if it was a more regular thing ,he would be fine with more journeys and confidence it’s ok to travel

Unknown if Chester can swim,he has never tried

Favourite games and toys ;- Any play time activities. He likes it when you throw a ball and he brings it back

His owners really just want him to go to a loving home where is wanted and treated with love and care ,which is really what he deserves as he is a lovely dog.

Introducing Dylan

Please do read all the following information fully ,if you do not meet Dylan’s criteria ,do not apply thank you

Dylan is located in Hampshire Post Code area PO16

NOTE the potential applicant will be requested to travel to carry out as many meet and greets as requested.

DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CANNOT MEET THESE REQUESTS

Dylan is adored by his current owners but significant change in circumstance means rehoming is in Dylan’s best interest. Despite best efforts and a lot of patience from Dylan, he has not adjusted to small children and is often shut away or put in the garden for his own protection (which Dylan finds distressing due to separation anxiety). Since the arrival of littles humans, Dylan has not received the affection and attention he has grown accustomed to and this has been detrimental to Dylan’s happiness. With heavy hearts, Dylan’s current owners want to put Dylan’s needs before their own and feel he would thrive in an environment with older children who understand how to respect his space and shower him in the gentle attention and playfulness that he craves. Dylan would equally suit an active retiree(s), and the company of one other dog in an environment filled with long walks and undivided attention.

Our Requirements for Rehoming Dylan

Active home,with persons who are fit and energetic

Can be wary around men,but will settle and gain confidence with time

Dylan is an active young doodle,who just loves company

We need to place him in a home ,where humans are at home all day ,this is very important for Dylan as he needs the comfort he so deserves

Can live with dog savvy older children aged 10 plus ,whom are respectful around dogs

Preferably no visiting babies or young children,and if your young and planning a family this is not the dog for you

Can live with ONE other dog ,not a multi household with other dogs

The other dog must have no behavioural issues,you must be prepared to travel ,for as many meet and greets as required

Absolutely no cats

Your garden must be secure ,if you have gates they must have a lock

If you have a deep pond we request it is covered

Check you have no toxic plants or vegetables

If you have any holidays planned,please state on your application form

Meet Dylan

Type Australian Labradoodle

Colour Ginger and White Tuxedo

DOB July 2021

Male

Dylan is neutered

Height 20 inches

Weight 17 to 18 Kgs approximately

Microchipped which has been checked

Fully vaccinated booster due September 2025

Wormer administered November 2024

Flea and tick treatment administered April 2025

Dylan is in good health

Allergies :- allergic reaction to Metacam and possibly any other anti inflammatories,

NOTE :- this was discovered after Dylan was neutered

Meloxicam (brand names Metacam® Loxicom®, OroCAM®, Rheumocam) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever in dogs and cats. It is indicated for the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs and cats. Meloxicam is also used to treat pain associated with surgery.

Dylan has a healthy appetite, he doesn’t resource guard but does have food sensitivities i.e. will vomit bile if stomach is empty too long. Two meals daily and plenty of healthy treats will keep Dylan’s tummy happy. Dylan previously thrived on Butternut box but has transitioned to Naturo (Grain Free) as a more affordable option ahead of rehoming.

Grooming Requirements

Dylan has a soft silky wavy coat,only sheds minimal,all dogs shed some amount

Every few days a light brushing of knot prone areas (ears, beard and tail) with detangling brush

He prefers to be brushed whilst having a cuddle in bed, shortly after waking

Dylan is calm enough to allow brushing at this time of the day, later in the day Dylan will be too excited to allow brushing

Professional Groomer:-Dylan is washed/trimmed by groomer at least once a month. Extra wash appointments during rainy/muddy seasons. Dylan doesn’t really enjoy being washed at home, he is nervous of the shower head. Full cut dependant on growth and time of year

Dylan is hypoallergenic and professionally groomed/cut every 6wks. During muddy months, Dylan has additional wash only appointments to keep his fur clean and matt-free.

Doodle Aid is always happy to recommend an qualified experienced groomer

Exercise

During the week Dylan has brief morning walk at local park (20mins), off lead walk (1hr) , plus lots of garden play. Weekends - 2hrs daily countryside/beach walks

Dylans recall is good , (recall to whistle (with fingers) or Dylan)

NOTE :- Doodle Aid does not recommend any newly adopted dog to go off lead unless in a secure hired paddock ,or when you have complete trust in each other this is most important

Whilst on a lead Dylan did pull on his lead when a puppy, Dylan would attempt to chase cars meaning Dylan is accustomed to off lead countryside/beach walks. Dylan can be road walked as this behaviour now rarely occurs, but new owners should be wary of Dylan being spooked by cars !

This might be something that his new owners might like to explore with a dog behaviourist ,if they feel they have not got the experience

This lovely boys obedience is good and he interacts well with other dogs whilst out and about

Dylan would flourish in agility classes/competition,totally wonderful for both humans and dogs to bond

Further information

Dylan is Affectionate, Cuddly, Excitable, Intelligent, and can be protective over his family ,Dylan has a very expressive tail

Behavioural occurrences :- Back in January 2025, a Ridgeback knocked over our toddler. Dylan rushed to protect him and was subsequently attacked by the Ridgeback. Fortunately this incident resulted in superficial wounds only, and Dylan’s personality or behaviour has remained unchanged

Dylan can be nervous around new people, in particular, knocking at the door and / entering the home,he will bark until settled and reassured

Dylan has a curly piglet tail

This unique feature means it’s easy to judge Dylan’s mood

It curls when he’s happy, excited and becomes floppy when Dylan feels nervous, or poorly

Dylan will respond to the following commands:

- Sit

- Wait (show Dylan your palm)

- Lie Down (touch 2-fingers to the floor)

- “On your bed”

- Go on OR Come on (to release him from ‘wait’ and / to have him follow you)

- Recall to whistle (with fingers) or ‘Dylan’

He has attended puppy training classes and taught additional behaviours at home. Very intelligent and food motivated - highly capable of advanced tricks and skills

Dylan is extremely affectionate and loving, but does suffer from separation anxiety. Because of this, Dylan’s current owners feel he cannot be left alone for significant periods of time (2 hours), and generally take Dylan out with the

Doggy company would significantly improve Dylan’s anxiety about being left alone

Dylan owns several soft toys for ‘suckling’ when stressed

Very energetic and highly intelligent, Dylan is food motivated and has the capacity to learn tricks, commands or even agility training

Dylan’s favourite game is fetch, he has never resource guarded toys but often forgets not to play indoors and hasn’t outgrown ‘play nipping’

Dylan can be nervous/protective of his ‘pack’ around new people, in particular, knocking at the door and / entering the home

Dylan will bark and rush the door/ person. This is a front, as Dylan will quickly befriend visitors when presented with treats

At present, Dylan is shut in a separate room before opening the front door to deliveries etc

Dylan cannot be left unattended around human food and though he shows little/no interest in fox poo, he will treat human faeces and horse poo as tasty snacks

Dylan is toilet trained , but we always like to state accidents may occur with any dog entering a new environment

This darling boy loves to sleep with his humans ,human bed sleeper, has been known to share the pillow

Dylan has spent the majority of his life sleeping at the foot of the bed or on the floor next to the bed

For past 2mths, Dylan has slept downstairs on the sofa but would prefer not to be separated from his loved ones

Can be left alone only for a maximum of 2 hours only (note this it’s important as he needs human company)

Dylan has never been destructive in his home

He owns several soft toys for ‘suckling’,this is comfort whilst owners go out

He is not crate trained,no reason to be crated

Car travel :- Well behaved, free roam in boot but prefers to sit in front passenger seat with a restraint please

Height 14/15 inches

Weight 16.2 Kgs

Colour red

Microchipped

Please read all this advert fully before submitting your application,if you DO NOT match the criteria do not apply.Thank you

Duggee is located in Blackpool Post Code Area FY4 ,you will be expected to carry out as many meet and greets as requested

His family purchased Duggee at 13 weeks old ,his behaviour started to change at around 5 months old.He just finds it very hard to switch off and is on the go constantly.

Duggee is a very active,highly strung little chap,he has difficulty settling down and chilling for any short periods of time.

His family love him dearly but finding it difficult managing Duggee’s personality and his needs,they have tried many aspects.

In his environment he follows the owner of the house persistently,and barks even when the owner needs to attend to the child in their home

The family have to watch him around the home as he gets up to mischievous behaviour,pinching children’s toys and various items of clothing,mostly socks.

Duggee is at present is not surgically neutered,but he is chemically neutered,this was to see if it helped with his behaviour.

He is also on 20 mg daily of Fluoxetine to help ease his behaviour

Duggee is not an aggressive dog and has never bitten ,he doesn’t not resource guard and he does not have separation anxiety

He is crate trained and will settle in his crate for hours ,if his owners need to go out.

His crate should be a nice cosy den for him to take himself off too,if he needs too him his foster home

Duggee might cry in the car for a short while but soon settles

He is toilet trained,but we do state any dog can mark in a new and strange environment

Duggee has never been destructive in his home

His diet is Wainwrights ,two meals per day

Likes to play ball and his crinkle toys are his favourite

We are looking for a Foster home willing to help Duggee settle more ,we are not sure why he is constantly on the go.

Could be environmental,could be he needs more exercise and more mental stimulation.Also he certainly will need a calm area for his crate so he can have downtime to chill.

The first week we would like him just to explore his foster home,and his family he is living with,take things steady day by day.

After a week we would like his foster to take him to the vets to have a full health check,which should include full blood count.

All vets invoices are paid by Doodle Aid,as is food,dog trainers or behaviourists.

If he needs a groom contact us and we will find a groomer for you

Doodle Aid will always support any dog in foster and the foster parents,you just need to work as a team with us and us with you .

We like weekly updates and a few photos please

If you feel you have the time to put into Duggee needs please do fill out this form

Bud needs someone who is gentle but consistent,a family who is outdoors a lot with the time to put in some training.Preferably another dog who can manage a bit of a bossy fella at times - although he is very friendly - he can sometimes be abit of a pest ,and not leave the other dog alone and wants to play constantly so perhaps another dog that matches his energy. He loves his luxuries- on the sofa, needs to be touching you- will sleep on your feet if needs be, he’s an absolute chancer - give him an inch - he will take a mile. He will make sure he’s not getting any of your food before eating his own - As mentioned above - he is lovely but needs someone with previous dog experience who is gentle but with a kind firm manner ,as he’s a big boy and doesn’t know his size or strength

All potential applicants will be requested to have a full vetting and a full home-check

An adoption fee of £300 is requested,this goes back into the charity

If you live in rented accommodation we will require documentation that a dog can live in your property

Nova is seeking a foster home ,due to personal circumstances within her family

Bloods have been taken and an MRI carried out,we do have all the vet history

Nova cannot be spayed ,this comes with the advice from the vets ,this is due to the general anaesthetic and her condition

Vaccinations,flea,tick and worming are at a stand still at present as these pesticides may make her condition worse

Whilst in Foster care we will ask the fosters to take Nova to the vets for a complete health check ,and if she needs to see another specialist we would expect them to take her there as well

Nova can lead a normal long life if we can help you all know Doodle Aid will move heaven and earth for dogs in our care,working along side her fosters.

Together we can all make a difference we are certain,so let’s try together.

Nova is a real sweetheart,a bit of a couch potato as with her condition she does not want to exercise far.

IF YOU HAVE VISITING BABIES OR CHILDREN,OR ARE PLANNING A FAMILY IN THE FUTURE THIS IS NOT THE DOG FOR YOU,SORRY.

Bearnard is looking for a new home due to living in a busy environment ,which he is now finding it very hard to adapt too.

When he was purchased there were older children in his home ,who he coped with,but recently there have been two new arrivals,a toddler and a new born.

Sadly Bearnard and the toddler cannot be left together,as he likes the toddlers toys and the toddler wants the toys.

This has become an issues for all concerned,as neither child or doodle mix well.

His owner has decided after an incident to rehome him,Bearnard was having a filled kong ,and toddler thought they might like the kong as well.This resulted in Bearnard growling and nipping the toddlers finger,no blood was drawn only a small mark.

Bearnard has been to training after the incident,but his owners now feel this is not the home for him with two tiny children.

We advise no long lasting treats,or raw bones for Bearnard ,as he tends to resource guard these items.

Must be very difficult to keep an eye on Bearnard, and all the children in their home,and they must put everyone’s needs first.

Introducing Max

Location Essex

Please do read all the following information fully before applying,thank you

Max is in need of an urgent foster home ,as work commitments have meant he is being left for long periods per day.

This has resulted in him getting up to mischief, as he so needs human interaction ,more exercise and stimulation.

He has been licking his paws whilst on the human sofa/and human beds making the furniture damp.

This could well be because he is bored,anxious or may even have an allergy.

His diet will need changing, as we believe as a charity this also could be a factor in his behaviour.

At night if he hears the foxes he will bark,this has resulted in the family not getting some sleep at night.

The family have decided this is all too much to deal with ,and would like to rehome Max as soon as possible.

Max is an adorable boy just needs the attention he so requires.

He has never been aggressive we have been informed.

General Information

Max is a lively,energetic ball of fluff,he needs some training,but most of all company.

He has been left for long periods on his own ,and this has resulted in some unwanted behaviour including being anxious and not settling.

He has scratched a leather chair and marked sofa/beds covers from licking his paws.

This could well be because he is lonely,bored,May have or all the following.

He is an affectionate dog,will come and sit next to you when he wants attention.

He is toilet trained,but we state with any dog entering a new environment please allow for any accidents

He used to sleep in the kitchen ,but could see and hear foxes which started him barking.

So now he sleeps at the top of the landing in his bed.

ADOPTED

Hugo is a lovely boy ,other charities will not consider taking him because of his allergies.

This issue he has is controlled ,he may even be able to come off or reduce medication in the future.

This would be under supervision of any vet and their advice,you never know how things can work out with allergies.

Please please do not let this put you off rehoming Hugo ,as he has so much to give in return.

Happy to advertise and carry out homechecks,and meet and greets if all parties are happy with our policy over the holiday period.

Please do read this advert FULLY before applying for Hugo,do not apply if you do not fit his criteria,thank you

Looking for a home with people whom are very fit & active ,as Hugo is active boy himself.

Hugo can live with another dog

Can live with children 8 plus (note children always need to be respectful around dogs)

No cats please

Garden needs to be safe and secure,fences walls etc at least 6 foot,gates must have a lock

We need Hugo in a home with people at home most of the time as this boy loves attention and company.

If you live in rented accommodation we will ask for documentation that a dog can live in this property

Hugo is located in Essex and we would ask the potential applicant ,to carry out as many and greets as required.We do this because this is about Hugo’s future ,everyone needs to be happy ,especially Hugo.

It has been such a hard decision for Hugo’s owners to contact us ,to ask us to help rehome him.

He has been dearly loved since a puppy and is still loved ,but sadly circumstances have changed within their family.

Work commitments,lifestyle changes,expense,children etc and they feel Hugo needs more than they can give him.

It’s the most unselfish act any owner can do,putting their dogs needs before their own.

We as a caring charity ,are so privileged we can help find this lovely boy a forever home,and we will try our best to be the best.

PLEASE READ THIS SEGMENT CAREFULLY

Hugo suffers with allergies ,he has been through many tests at the vets ,and his owners have made sure they are doing everything possible to relieve the symptoms and stress to help Hugo.

He was on Apoquel for a short period of time,but these cannot be used long term.

About a year ago the vet put him on allergy injections called Cytopoint,these are being administered every 6 weeks at present.

In time these maybe to be reduced further with the vet advice ,always go with the vets recommendations.

These injections cost at the owners vets £114.00 every six weeks and have really improved Hugo’s allergies.

We believe his allergies are grass,maybe pollen related and he cannot have any food stuffs containing wheat products.

Please please do see past his allergies as Hugo is the most kind natured,happy,loving boy and needs our support finding him that special home.

The insurance company is quite happy to transfer the policy over to the new owners,and this will be discussed further when we go through the rehoming process.

Meet Winston

Type Cockapoo

Colour Chocolate & White

DOB June 2023

Male whom will be neutered under our rehoming policy

Weight 7 Kgs

Height 15 inches

Microchipped which has been checked

Booster due October 2025

Flea/tick/wormer all administered September 2024

No known health issues,or allergies

Grooming Requirements

Winston has a wavy coat, he only minimally sheds ,all dogs shed some amount

Does not mind being brushed at home ,just as long he is given treats.

He is professionally groomed every 2 to 3 months,no issues at the groomers to report.

Exercise

Winston gets walked twice a day 1 hour per day longer at the weekends.

He really enjoys his walks especially when it involves lots of smells to sniff.

Winston needs training with his recall ,he is very treat orientated which is great for training.

We do not advise his new owners to allow him off lead,until you have complete trust in his recall.

Whilst out on walks he picks and chooses what dogs he likes to play with,some he just ignores.He loves to meet and greet other dogs and may pull on his lead to do so.

General Information

Winston is very bouncy and cuddly, wants to be involved in everything. He is very curious and always needs to be with you, for example if his owner is cooking he needs to look in every cupboard you open.

If you sit on the floor he will run over to you for cuddle time.

Winstons general obedience is good to fair he knows what is expected of him ,but he will misbehave if you haven’t got eyes on him at all times.

He loves people. He will generally ignore them when out on walks and on a lead but if his owners have visitors over he gets very boisterous and jumpy. He jumps all over visitors and does get very excited. He is very friendly but very pushy, if you stop stroking him he will happily get in your face until you keep fussing him.

This would need some addressing with some training put into place.

Children :- Winston lives with two little children and a 6 month old baby.

It’s a very busy household .Winston is tolerant but he always wants to be involved, if you are playing with the baby and sat on the floor he wants to come and play too. He sometimes plays a little too rough with the older kids,not in an aggressive manner.

With the baby he is constantly licking the baby, pawing her when she’s playing on the floor and jumping up to steal food from her hands when she’s in her high chair.

He resource guards with the older children, growling if they come near his food.

This his owners have been working on by feeding him on snuffle matts and in kongs.

Winston now will learn to swap an item for a treat,this training will need to continue.

He will bark at any little noise, routinely waking the baby from her naps. He does not like being left alone in another room if he knows owners are in the house, and if he is left alone uncrated he will get up to mischief eating nappies, child toys or going through the bin. We have had to child lock the bin and crate him when his owners go upstairs.

Training works for a little while but as soon as you try and wean him off the treats as a reward it stops working. He is a lovely dog but very bouncy and over friendly which is not ideal with a small baby. It’s so difficult for his owners with a lively puppy and a baby to separate the attention they both need.

Winston is toilet trained,but please allow for any accidents when any new dogs enter a new environment

He sleeps in his crate at night ,and popped in there whilst owners are busy or going out for short periods of time.

In the home Winston has only been destructive the children’s toys or socks. He has never chewed or destroyed any furniture.

Travels well in the car inside a dog crate

No known dislikes

Winston has been swimming a number of times and he seems to enjoy it.

Favourite items his rope toys and balls

His owners state ,Winston is genuinely a lovely dog and we feel so sad to give him up, but since the baby we are not the right family for him. He deserves much more time and attention than we can give

All potential applications will be subjected to a full vetting and a visual homecheck.

If you live in rented accommodation we require documentation that a dog can live in your property

The adoption fee for Winston is £300.00 which goes back into the charity

We are only a tiny team ,so please allow 48 hours for a reply if you contact us

Thank in advance

His owners feel he would be best suited in either a child free home or with much older dog savvy children.

Or an adult home only.

It’s really hard for the family as they love him so much ,especially one of the children.

But as a responsible family they are worried with the resource guarding .

At present Max has given warning growls ,showed teeth,and went to snap ,due to resource guarding an item they tried to take away from him.

We are looking for experienced dog owners whom are happy to support Max through his issue.

Doodle Aid is very happy to put support in place with dog trainer/behaviourist as when required.

We are happy to supply a professional groomer when needed.

All expenses will be covered by the charity but you must contact us firstly.
