Doodle rehome in PA. 4 yo female goldendoodle.Update:
Sue, hope all is well, a dog rescue friend in PA, is trying to help rehome a golden doodle, not sure if you know of any doodle rescue groups also if anyone you know wants a doodle, she is 4, takes time to warm up due to she is on her 3rd home already her first 2 homes she was very neglected & abused, she has trust issues but with her current family is very good, but she lives with a special needs boy & has bite 2 of his nurses, so family wants to rehome her. she will take some positive reward training to learn to trust again. she loves cats & some other dogs.
I have asked her about where in Pa the dog lives, shots and health and do they want $$$$? Also sent the DRC and IDOG info to her.
Will keep you posted and get contact info soon with hopefully a picture. Thanks everyone.
UPDATE; This girl lives in Martinsburg, Pa. They are offering to "possibly arrange" transport. Her name is Honey. She can be driven to Florida area in Sept. by mutual friends if anyone along the way is interested. I will post picture as soon as I get home from work. Can't do on iPad. I will send her pix to my photos on DK and if someone can post in this discussion, that would be great. Thank you. She is white, like my Bella, and in the picture has on a harness. Very cute. ( just want to be sure you dont post a pix of Bella. She wouldn't like to read that she is being rehomed!!! Lol. )

It is really, really important that the next home be the last home for this poor doodle. If they choose to rehome her themselves, rather than through a rescue group, they must make sure that the new family is absolutely committed to keeping her, no matter what.
She won't learn to trust again until she has a permanent stable environment, a consistent routine, and an adult person she can depend upon.

this is so sad for the doodle. I hope they decide to go through a rescue organization who can better assess her needs and vet applicants.

I agree with both Nancy and Karen. I do not know how many times can a dog handle being rehomed. And, if she really did bite and not just nip the 2 nurses it would be best for her to be handled by a rescue organization that could place her with a responsible, experienced dog person prepared to work with her and hopefully be willing to guarantee a forever placement.

Not the first thing I wanted to see here today but I know it's a fact of life. I wonder how long this family has had her? Poor baby! Knowing that she bit is going to take a very committed person, perhaps an older single with no children.
I know what it's like to have a dog that bites and frankly it is not that difficult to keep the dog out of the situation but you truly must really love the dog as we did.
I wish the sun and the moon and the starts for this girl!

This is truly sad. It is going to take a special person to provide this Doodle girl with what she needs. Because she has already learned to bite, whoever adopts her is going to need to understand how to relate to her, and will need to be in a position to provide training/behavioral support. This going to be a big commitment for someone....I so hope the right owner is out there for her. This is what happens when these poor dogs get shuffled around.

I agree with everyone, it would be wonderful if that special person was on DK and we could be kept up with her progress. I wish the best for her. Really sad I know.

Sorry to see this happening. This is very sad. I was wondering about the circumstances surrounding the biting. As she has "only" bitten the nurses. Perhaps she has become bonded with the child and this was protective or to get their attention due to a problem. I am sure that she give the child happiness that is otherwise hard to find.
Instead of rehoming maybe these people would be better off investing in TRAINING for the doodle.
(Yes I do realize that these people have a lot on their plate but I also know how much joy a dog can bring to a child that has "special needs".)
