Kade

My story

Kade is a one year old Goldendoodle. He arrived at SOAR when he escaped from a new family that purchased him from a breeder. Instead of waiting for him to be safely returned, they bought another pup from the same breeder. One of our partners rescued Kade after tracking his movements over time outside. He was surrendered to the shelter, where we pulled him. Kade likes other dogs, big and small, and has found a best friend here in another dog, Bubba. He is housed with a crew of dogs of all ages and types. We think he would do well with or without another dog. Kade has been around humans of all ages and sizes, and does fine. Because of his experience as a pup, he still sometimes lacks confidence. He prefers a family who thrives with structure and daily/weekly routine, so he knows what to expect and what happens next in his day. Kade would like to be included in family activities, and likes people who are gentle and patient, so he can continue to grow into a confident boy. He is flight risk until he knows his people, so will require a secure and fenced yard. He has been joining our dog walker and does excellently on a leash. He’s very sweet, and once you’re his person, likes to snuggle and gives little small kisses. Kade has done well crated here, and goes potty outside using a crate. Our team has recently started working with him to be left free-roaming in his space as well. Kade requires grooming every 6-8 weeks, so adopters should be aware of that financially.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Kade, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
