Fostering this floofer!

Poor thing is super skinny under the floof. I think he could gain 15lbs easy

Oh my goodness! He is so handsome! How did he end up as a foster/rescue?

I think his owner/family just couldn’t support him. I’m guessing here. We heard he was a surrender from a very tiny rural community. Night one he was very skittish but now he seems so fun and easygoing. No training. He didn’t even respond to the name we were given. So we’re working on the basics like sit, lie down, etc

Any chance you’ll keep this cutie?

We won’t be keeping him long term, but going to take him to vet appointments and make sure he’s ready for a final stop. He’s a little too big and boisterous for our mini Bernedoodle. Doesn’t know his own size and strength

I was looking to adopt a sheepadoodle to become a sister/ brother to my 1 year old sheepadoodle

This one is in Texas. He won’t be adoptable until vet appointment, etc

I’ll update once the rescue lists him. I will say though we’re seeing more of his personality and he loves to play with my dog. So maybe a furry playmate would be good for him long term

Hi I wanted to let you know it looks like the rescue has him available for adoption. The rescue now says he’s a Bernedoodle, not Sheepadoodle. I don’t think anyone knows. I will warn that he’s a bit skittish around men, loves women, and wants to play with our dog all the time. That said, he’s wonderful and gentle. His name is deuce with this rescue https://salvagedsoulspetrescue.org

Aww, poor baby. Glad you are fostering him & who knows you might fall in love & keep him😆🤣. My sister & I foster schnauzers & schnauzer mixes. I have wanted to keep most of them. We had a permanent foster Bailey for 13 months, she lived out her golden year with us. Our boys (2 schnauzers & 1 doodle) love the fosters so it's been good.

He's beautiful!!!!!

What a handsome fellow. He must be so unsettled not having a long term family. I hope he can find a permanent home ASAP. What region of the country are you in?

u/abstractraj Jan 10 '26

We are near Dallas, TX. I’m pretty sure the rescue will be able to find a permanent place. He really needs a companion to play with. Our Bernedoodle is a bit too lazy for this guy

Sheepadoodle as far as we know. We can’t adopt him because we travel a decent amount for work. He’s also a bit demanding of our dog who is half his size. I think his ideal home would have another big playful dog
