Rehoming + Adoption

Things you should know about buying or adopting a pet

While pet sellers can be reputable individuals or breeders who treat their animals well, the ease of selling pets over the Internet also makes it attractive to careless, irresponsible breeders and scammers. To protect yourself, you must be careful and believe only what you see and not what you are told. It is highly recommended to arrange for an inspection of the home where the pets are bred. This allows you to check that the mother and other animals are living in suitable conditions, being well cared for, and are in good health.

Remember that the Kijiji Pets section is NOT intended to facilitate uncontrolled breeding, irresponsible commercial pet trading, trade of dogs or any other animal for the purpose of fighting or stud services. Any ads that are suspected of promoting this kind of activity or reported to us will be removed. Users are responsible for adhering to the applicable conditions in relation to adopting, buying, selling or listing of an ad on Kijiji.

Kijiji encourages, where possible, the adoption of pets and encourages all pet owners to have their animals spayed or neutered as well as microchipped.

When looking for a pet, it is important to meet the breeder or seller and examine the pet before agreeing to anything. Since Kijiji is local to your community, this should be easy to arrange. Never adopt/buy a pet from someone who is unwilling to let you see how and where the animal is living!

Description

With a heavy heart and lifestyle changes, the owner is unable to take care of dog that once accompanied her throughout her clincal practice and is looking to rehome this energetic, eager to please and always ready to love, labradoodle. He is 6-7 years old and looking for a loving home, from someone preferable that has experience with training and handling service animals and dogs.

Background History:

Thanks for your patience in our replies with these emails and screening for the right fit, for those interested.

His temperment is eager to please, happy, loving , interested in the world and when we use the word "energetic" we mean, always ready. He seems to be always ready for a command, to play (during his playtime) and always ready to please. He has built a relationship to the owner through his training and loves that bonding time of running through his command, "relax", place and "stay" (lying down and not engaging with the movement of the house while having dinner/meals, watching tv, transitions in the home, when guests come. tot he door or leave).

He is great. on leash, with owner and the relationship they have, he is walked leashless most times, but this may be the bond they have since 8 weeks old. He is. housed with another dog and gets along with cats and dogs. They type of. therapy dog he as used for was for grounding the space, and being a presence of calm/love. He. worked in the clinical setting prior to the pandemic for those being treated.for anxiety and ptsd. After the pandemic the training changed due to being out of the. office environment and was used to shadow the owners work only in community. He became to excitable in the transition which demanded more time from owner to get him in a training mode ( being calm before entering establishments, community events, etc.,) therefore his work was resigned at the time and he was more the home dog, so to speak.

He loves being trained, "stay", "sit", "down stay", etc., and engaged with with his person and LOVES fetch!
