At IDOG Rescue, we don’t want any Doodle to end up in a shelter, which is why we offer our Rehoming Program to owners who need to find their dog a new home. We have some limitations on the types of breed mixes, medical and behavioral issues we are able to accept into IDOG.

IDOG Rescue was created in 2006 as a rescue dedicated to the protection of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles. Over the decades IDOG has accepted and successfully adopted out other types of Standard Poodle/Doodle mixes. There are certain Doodle mixes, however, that we do not feel are a good fit for IDOG Rescue and we are unable to assist in rehoming these types of mixes: Giant, Guardian, Livestock Guardian and Working Breed Doodle mixes such as Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Doberman, Husky, and St. Bernard mixes.

If you have a Doodle mix and are unsure if IDOG can assist you with rehoming your dog you can email us at [email protected] to inquire as to whether we are able to assist you before completing our Rehome Request Form.

Rest assured, that you will be treated with respect, and your dog’s welfare will be our top priority. We have been finding great homes for our "pre-loved" Doodles since IDOG's creation in 2006.

We will help guide you through this difficult time.  If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot keep your dog, please take these steps.

IDOG has many wonderful foster homes in many states in the U.S. Our ability to help rehome your dog will be dependent upon the availability of an appropriate foster home for your dog. If we are able to find an appropriate foster family for your dog’s specific needs, you will need to be willing to transport your dog to an appropriate foster home.  If you are willing to transport your dog, please complete this Rehome Request Form in its entirety. After completion of this Form, please email a photo of your dog(s) and its complete vet records to [email protected].

1) The first step is to complete our rehome form fully which is located here: Rehome Form  

2) Email your dog's photo and vet records to us at [email protected].

3) Expect an email from our rescue team to let you know if we are able to accept your dog in to our Rehoming Program.

4) Take stock of how long you can continue to house the dog.  If we are able to accept the dog into our rehome program, we may need time to handle the transition.

5) Email us at [email protected] if you no longer need our assistance in rehoming your dog.
