Welcome to RAGOM, Zoe! Zoe is a 3 year old Goldendoodle, cute as can be, and just a little peanut. I think she must have been mixed with a miniature poodle (see photo with one of my 65 lb. goldens for comparison). She hasn't been to the vet yet this week, but so far appears healthy, has a gorgeous doodle coat, is eating well, no potty accidents, and is doing great with my two resident dogs. Zoe was surrendered by a loving family due to separation anxiety. She was an only dog, and didn't do well with both parents gone for a full work day. Her anxiety seemed to be growing and she was spending a lot of time in her crate. Zoe has only been in foster care a few days, but so far she is doing great! I've only left her for short periods, but she hasn't exhibited much in the way of anxiety. She is a high energy girl, and definitely needs some direction and training, but she is a smart cookie and eager to learn. Right now she is being crated when I leave, which she doesn't love, but she will go in willingly with a treat. She barks & whines a little at first, and definitely wants to get out as soon as I come home, but I think she is quiet while I'm gone (as far as I can tell from sneaking around outside). It's too soon to tell, but possible that having other dogs in the home will make all the difference in helping her to overcome her separation anxiety. She previously lived with kids and a cat, and appears to get along with everyone. More soon as we get to know this little cutie. She will be attending the RAGOM event at the Eden Prairie PetSmart on Saturday.
