Thinking about rescuing a doodle? While there’s nothing wrong with supporting responsible, ethical doodle breeders, it can be an incredibly rewarding to rescue your furry best friend and save a life in the process.
However, finding doodles to adopt from shelters and rescues isn’t always an easy task. Not only are poodle mixes in high demand, but it can be tricky to navigate the sea of scammers out there as well.
To help the many prospective doodle owners in our community, we’ve compiled a directory of reputable doodle rescues to give you a head-start on your search!
How to Use This Directory:
- Scroll through the list or use the search box to find doodle rescues who will adopt in your area.
- Visit their website and read their adoption requirements to see if you qualify.
- If they accept general applications, submit one. If they only accept application for specific dogs, bookmark their “available dogs” page and check back often!
- If you have questions about the process, reach out using the email listed. Remember, these are usually volunteers who are extremely busy…please be patient!
- In addition to these doodle and poodle-specific organizations, consider searching on PetFinder for general rescues and shelters in your area who may have doodles in need of their forever home.
Check back often as we’ll be updating this list periodically as we discover more amazing doodle rescues!
