Spaying and neutering are core to responsible rescue work. Every year, millions of unwanted pets enter shelters across the country, and sadly, not all find homes. By ensuring that every Doodle Dandy Rescue dog who is medically able is spayed or neutered — or has a contract in place requiring sterilization at the appropriate age — we help break that heartbreaking cycle.

As much as we all love the amazing Thanksgiving food and festivities, so do our furry friends!

In the world of dog rescue, we see it all—matted fur, trembling paws, eyes that have forgotten how to hope. But we also see something else: the quiet miracle that happens when kindness is consistent, patient, and persistent. That miracle is trust. And trust, once earned, becomes the foundation for transformation. Positive reinforcement isn’t just a training method—it’s a love language.

When a doodle first arrives at Doodle Dandy Rescue, our veterinary partners check for parasites — those tiny but troublesome creatures that can make our pups sick and uncomfortable. While the idea of worms may make you squirm, learning about them is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Hookworms are one of the most common intestinal parasites found in dogs, especially in rescues or strays. The good news? Hookworms are treatable and preventable.

Let’s take a closer look at what causes allergies in doodles, how to spot the signs, and what you can do to help your pup feel their best.

When you’re adopting a rescue dog, you might come across stories of pups who were once “heartworm positive.” It can sound a little scary at first, but with the right care and understanding, it’s not as intimidating as it seems.

Some dogs arrive at rescue with tails wagging and hearts wide open. Others, like Vader, need time — and love — to believe the world can be kind.
