I've noticed elderly folks tend to be really good at training up a dog, though can be often borderline negligent in the care. Being retired allows for extended time for bonding and training, but the humans aren't always aware of how much their energy, memory, and physical ability has declined. I'm just glad Doodle's owner made the hard, but right decision to send her to a home that can give her the care she needs.

"she doesn't bark". Mark my words, she'll find her voice once she feels comfortable in her forever home. The rescue we got one of our dogs from said she didn't make a peep, and was a very quiet dog.

My Pebbles came to me with some pretty big issues from previous home/s. I've never seen a dog so INCREDIBLY timid & afraid... like even soft music on the radio sent her cowering & shaking. Worse still, if I walked by with an object in my hand, she immediately cowered, as if she was waiting to be hit. 😭 She wouldn't make a sound until after about two months, we heard a tiny, little bark. She was stuck in the bathroom. 😊 Besides that, she barked once when a dog approached me - she was my 6 lb guardian 😂 She still only barks when she's stuck in a room, but over the 3 yrs we've had her, she has learned to relax & trust. She still has a little noise sensitivity but it's easily managed now. The fear of being hit seems entirely gone - I think she realizes that she will never, ever have to worry about that again. Dogs are proof that God loves us more than we deserve.

We adopted our chihuahua from my sister-in-law's relative. That person thought she was getting a teacup chihuahua because she chose the smallest puppy. Instead, she ended up becoming one of the tallest chihuahuas I've ever seen in my life. The previous owner kept her in a cage most of the time and didn't feed her much because she was trying to keep the dog small. But, when she realized it wasn't going to be a teacup chihuahua, she decided to give it away for free. My mom went over to that woman's house, met the chihuahua, and brought her home that same day. The chihuahua was super shy and went many weeks without barking. Then, when she realized we weren't going to treat her like garbage like her last home, she started showing off her real personality. Which includes being a very vocal chihuahua who woke my family up at 3 am one morning because a raccoon broke into the chicken coop and she heard the noise with her super powerful hearing.

And then there's my beautiful Lakeland Terrier. Terriers are known to be big barkers and rambunctious, but she was so quiet and chill! She was just over a year old when she barked for the first time! We were out in the backyard and she startled all of us and scared the bejesus out of herself! She very seldom used that voice - not even when someone came to the door. She adored visiiirs and we always joked that she'd give any burglar a guided tour - "This is where they keep the silver, the big TV is in here..." 😂😂 She was lively (but not crazy) and enjoyed games and puzzles and one of her favorite outdoor games was soccer. She had commandeered one of my daughter's playground balls with a huge picture of Mickey Mouse and she loved to play. She'd run and kick it along in front of her, like any good soccer player. But if she felt you might be able to get it, she'd just step over it and tuck it under her tummy so she was standing over it. She knew we would never attempt to kick the ball or otherwise get it, so she'd tuck it and then stand there, so proud of herself! But she never barked even during the excitement of the game. She would bark when boarded and would sometimes come home with hoarseness. But at home, she only barked when she was calling or greeting her squirrel friend. Every day, at 4pm on the dot, they met by the mulberry tree and whoever got there first called to the other. They'd spend about a half hour playing and then they'd part ways. I grieved along with my baby when suddenly the squirrel stopped coming. She continued to look for the squirrel every time she went out for years. 😢 I still miss her - she lived to 18 and she lived with us all of her life. She's been gone 19 years and I think of her (and all my dog babies) every day. Anyway, it's entirely possible that this dog could be the same. Simply a non-barker.

Once you shaved her, she looked remarkably like a Pointer! Poor baby... I hope she finds a forever home that will love her and let her blossom!

Ooof! That is a lot of emotional assault coming at you all at once. Making that decision is the hardest I’ve ever had to do but it is quality over quantity. Hope for a quick mend for your husband and maybe a fluffy covered heart, if you feel ready. We weren’t sure if we wanted to wait, get another after, or leave off entirely, as our 18 yr old toy mix is beginning to decline significantly, and we have never had the freedom of not working around a pack members needs before. Husband found a very happy guy dumped near his work about a week after we started talking about it. Brought him to the shelter to look for owners because he was in good shape but no one claimed him. We didn’t want to leave him there and have him lose his super sweet personality so JD joined our pack. He’s actually helped our grumpy old man enjoy more of his life, we are more active and he’s loving life, so I guess the universe knew better.

A good reason to be careful about the breeder. You really should be able to meet the dam and any remaining puppies because hopefully the breeder has them in a comfortable spacious area, whether inside the home or some insulated outer building. And if the sire isn’t there at least have some information about him. I wouldn’t trust someone if I couldn’t see that the parents are as claimed and that they are well cared for (or I can’t get a reliable recommendation from a trusted source if the breeder is distant.)

She is one of THE MOST well behaved 1 year old Doodle I have ever seen. My family has only ever had standard poodles and we live in rural Vermont. Maybe we'll look into adopting her!

She’s a little angel and her behavior speaks volumes to that. I’d expect dogs who were neglected to be more panicked and uncertain, but she’s so calm. Too bad I don’t have a place of my own or live in Canada. Otherwise I’d adopt this sweetie pie in a heartbeat 🥺💖

I see a lot of hate and negativity towards the elderly lady. She should not be blamed. You don't know her story. The elderly population is increasingly becoming more financially unstable as they live longer. I know she's in Canada, but I can assume, just like in the US, elderly support wasn't planned for people living as long as they are. She likely wanted a small dog for a multitude of reasons. Small dogs are generally a lot less expensive than larger dogs, are better suited for small apartments, and typically don't demand a very active lifestyle. Small dogs food needs are less, their grooming is less expensive, and their vet bills are usually less. The lady was probably embarrassed and ashamed so didn't reach out for help sooner. She obviously loved this dog, she doesn't show signs of physical abuse, doesn't have any ailments or mange, and is very well mannered. This beautiful pup is now on her way to recovery and to another loving home more well suited for her. Thank you Vanessa for being unbiased when it comes to animals in this situation. You never assume blame and just lay out the facts. I wish the comment feed was more like you.❤

Well...if you don't count the fact that the dog is skin and bones, then yes, there are no ailments.

I wish everyone screaming about bad owners would take a step back. From Doodle's behavior thru the video, she probably wasn't actively harmed, but she was absolutely not cared for well enough to maintain a minimum standard of health. Her calmness and overall tolerance for contact tells me the owner was simply too old/frail/senile to keep up with her. The owner may very well have been on a budget or simply unable to buy enough food for both of them. But yeah, the breeder was absolutely at fault.

Someone told this old woman that the dog would not be "big". I was once told the "shrubs" I was buying would not be over 6 foot tall. Turns out I planted the east coat "redwood" tree on either side of my door. Shame. Edit: I looked it up and we planted arborvitae which was not the low growing 6' tall, but the 40 to 60 foot trees. These were past off as the other shrub type. It was hell digging them out! We planted holly.

I used to have a downstairs neighbor in a really small apartment with a large dog, bigger than this one even.

Just rescued a medium big guy (55 lbs) who we found near my husband’s work. We think it was a dump because he is in near perfect body condition. We are active and make sure he gets one really long walk in the morning when it’s cooler and then multiple sniffs and play/train sessions through the day. He is picking up skills faster than I can teach them but had none of them when we met a month ago so all I can think is someone knew someone with unexpected puppies (he is unique looking) and they didn’t want them going to the shelter but couldn’t really give him what he needs.

I have a feeling that once she's secure in her forever home, Doodles will really come out of her shell. Seeing this baby finally get clean for the first time in perhaps ever really squeezed at my heart and hit close to home. One of our poodles is from an unethical breeder who used him as the poodle half to create doodles. He came home having lived in a kennel for all his seven years and scared stiff. He didn't know how to walk on a leash, up and down stairs, he wasn't house trained, etc. He was covered up to his knees and beyond in a layer of his own poo; it was aweful! My dad gave him a bath and he was just so still and silent because he didn't know what to do with himself. It made me want to cry seeing Doodles somewhat similar, being scared to the point of peeing, but such a good, sweet girl! I so loved seeing her run free in the yard, so carefree. Our boy has come so far in five years, and he was well grown. Doodles is still a puppy, really. I'm so glad she has a second chance so young!

Exactly the same here! Can’t condone the breeding practices, truly these dogs are being exploited. But man, they really can be some of the sweetest most loving babies

Can’t you just hear Doodles singing, “I feel pretty, Oh so pretty!!!” Watch her strut her stuff! I hope you can give us an update when she’s adopted? I know there’s a family out there that will love this girl to pieces!!! So thankful that her first groom was in the loving hands of Vanessa!😇Lying backyard breeders…your name is going in the freezer for abusing not one but two precious lives.😡

Oh, so heartwarming to see how happy she is once the groom is over, and she can frolic in your yard. What a positively sweet dog.

She's a beautiful sweet girl. She'll get snapped up by her forever home quickly.❤

O, do please give us an update on this precious dog when she finds her forever home! I would be so thankful and happy for her.

She is such a stunningly colored dog. I know it was an irresponsible breeder but that girl is beautiful. Such a gentle angel too. I so hope she finds a wonderful forever home.

I can't imagine what those backyard scam artists charged the poor elderly woman for this dog, on top of completely lying to her about them. Awful.

I'm honestly just crying, she is so thin. F**** both the breeder and the owner. I don't care if they are elderly they at least could have fed her. I hope she is adopted by the best people possible and lives a life full of love and care

Such a sweet girl! I don’t understand why an elderly person with possible mobility issues would buy a puppy. Perfect companion would have been an elderly dog. Calmer and obviously you’d know that they aren’t going to have a growth spurt.

My grandmother did this back in the 90s as well. She got it in her head that she wanted a sheltie like she had when she was a little girl and bought a puppy from a breeder. The sheltie grew up to be on of those big boned shelties (beautiful) and was way too much for my grandmother. Even though she loved the dog (and he loved her), she could not give him the exercise he needed. When my grandmother died, my mother went back and flew Chauncey from Pittsburgh to San Diego and he lived a really good life (new fence for a multi-level huge back yard and daily walks) with my parents and siblings for the significant number of years he had left.

This was the best behaved dog I have seen on this channel, such an angel and very pretty too.

My opinion, the poodle in her is so smart that she says “I am in a much better place now and I’m going to behave so well I will never end up in a bad situation again” she is so, so special.

Absolutely! There's just something so incredibly intelligent and also empathetic about poodles, and I imagine that translates to mixes as well. I have a silver poodle girl who came to our home at barely three years old. She was just coming off puppy food because the owner before last had bred her to make sheepadoodles or something. Anyway, the puppy food had started to upset her stomach, so little did I know she had a terrible diarrhea in the middle of the night. She came to paw me awake like she does when she needs to potty, so I took her right upstairs to the main floor and outside. I was so half-asleep that it was only on my way back down with her that I found her accident. It was as though she had come to say "I'm sorry, I had an accident, forgive me?" She makes these funny throat sounds, as if trying to form words, looks at me with her deep brown eyes, and my heart just melts. She's just turned five and yeah, she is my BABY! I hope Doodles finds her way to someone who loves her and she loves back, like my Layla girl found me. Doodles deserves the best the world can give her.

She has beautiful colours!!! So relieving she was rescued & brought to you for grooming!!! & of course we hope she finds a loving caring home that she deserves!!! She looks absolutely adorable!!!💖💖💖

i'm so glad she is in a safe place now. i'm sure her elderly owner is relieved.

Thank you Vanessa and Doodles ! Today (6/22/24) is the one year anniversary of my Auggie's transistion to spirit. He was a short legged, 23 lb,. Poodle mix I adopted from a shelter in 2009 at 18 months. He lived to be 15-1/2 - a joyous pup always with terrible separation anxiety. His nickname was "Doodles" . Thank you for this oh so timely groom and the sweet memories which flooded in.

She did amazingly well for never being groomed! What a gorgeous fur baby.❤

I can’t tell you how much I respect you for addressing the Doodle issue and the back yard breeder issue. As someone that has been doing breed specific rescue for almost 40 years, bybs are destroying so many breeds. And the fad of designer breeds (aka Doodles) has accomplished nothing but fill shelters with even more dogs. You do so much good with your channel and your work.

What a sweet lady! Sending all the feels from Texas in the US & hope she finds the perfect forever home ❤ Also thank you so much for giving all of your clients the best care, love and liberating them from all that hair/pain. You are a hero 🦸‍♀️

Her pure joy hopping through the grass after being groomed brightened my day. She must feel so much better now that her paws and claws have been taken care of and she can walk comfortably. She really is a sweet girl and I hope she gets the very best loving home. Thank you for all you do!!

Oh yea, I'm sure she's adopted...5 seconds flat! What a sweetie!

I'm amazed how good she was with paw touch since clearly she'd not had nails or paw fur trimmed in a long time, perhaps never. It was good to see her playing as it was worrying that she was so shut down.

What a difference you made for Doodles. She looked so relieved and happy. You change a life for the better Vanessa. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

She has to feel much better. Good luck baby.

She is such a lovely dog, I feel so sad for the life she has had so far. She was SO good for you, having things done to her that probably had never happened before. If I didn’t live in Australia I would adopt her myself. 😢❤❤❤

I tend to agree about the name; she definitely needs something that showcases her beautiful spirit more, rather than being a riff on her mixed heritage. There's only one dog I can remember getting that we actually kept her name, other than puppeaes who had no names of course, because it just fit her so well. Everyone else got new names. Our very first poodle, toy size, was called "snowball" by his neglectful/abusive apartment-living owners. It took one evening for him to be renamed "Tuffy". A cutesy name, yes, but fit his personality perfectly. Our first standard poodle we got from a lady at 7 months old who'd bought him from a breeder and didn't want him anymore was called "Lestat" by her. Ugh... yep, that had to go! Now, and for the last nearly 9 years, he has been "Maximus". There are others, but those were the two worst original names. Fortunately, neither really knew them so it was easy to train their new names.

Fostering is the hardest but most rewarding feeling at the same time. I started to foster after my first baby passed after 19 years. I couldn't handle the eventual death of a pet. Now I foster and as hard as it is to say goodbye, it's paired with the joy of seeing them so happy in a home thats perfect for them. I get a few updates from the forever homes to make sure they are indeed happy and then I just pretend they are immortal, forever living their best life. ❤

“Pretend they are immortal”. Yes, please! My husband and I were going back and forth as our 18 year old toy mix is in decline. Do we get one now, after, foster or just leave it empty for now? He found a very happy guy wandering around his work about a week after our last conversation. One year old, potty trained, and super trainable. We brought him to the shelter first because we aren’t thieves (he’s in good condition) and he needed to be neutered. A week later, he was ours. He will likely be our last but he has actually helped our senior out a little more pep in his step and I have so much fun training him so I think maybe it was just meant to be.

My pitbull Selena was a drop off in our neighborhood, she looked this skinny and boney, but she will be 4 in Oct. She had 10 puppies and now I call her Pudgey😅 Seriously this dog here will be a great asset to anyones home. She is so sweet. Vanessa your an Amazing person 💕💕

She seems like such an intelligent dog. I believe she will have a remarkable personality once she is in a proper good home. So happy and grateful she was rescued.❤ Thank-you for your wonderful work Vanessa! 🙏

My sisters poodle looks exactly like that when being bathed. He's a happy, content and energetic 18 mo puppy, but as soon as you start preparing for bath time he puts that sad and utterly defeated face on. And on it stays until he's let out of the bath room. Then he just snaps out of it and is back to normal. 😂

True if it was deliberate. But I have worked as a dog trainer with a lot of pet owners who don't have a great understanding of how to judge their dog's weight, how to assess their body condition or how to properly increase food for a puppy's growth needs without some education. I think many people look at the dog to assess weight, but with a big matted coat it would appear to weigh more than she really did. So it's also possible it was a bad situation for pup and owner alike and just be thankful she is in foster and off to a better place.

She is wonderful... I'm so happy she was seen by so many people, because one of them is sure to adopt her and give her the best life and all the love she deserves. ❤

That breaks my heart how some people can be so cruel to animals…I hope she gets a good forever home and lots of love.

What a sweet dog! Hope she gets healthier and adopted soon by just the right person.

Promoting fostering is such a wonderful thing! While not dogs I fostered cats for a while and its such an amazing experince working with the animals for them to move to their forever homes. Hopefully such a sweetheart like Doodles gets hers soon too!

Her personality and temperament are beautiful. She’s so sweet. I hope she finds a wonderful new home.

What a gentle sweetheart. I can’t tell if she’s nervous about being groomed, is afraid of human contact, or if she just hasn’t experienced kindness in her life. She deserves a home where she will be showered with love, affection, and lots of food and play.

She is the sweetest girl, I hope she gets a home with kids, I feel like she'd love that

I think the elderly past owner actually tried her best with Doodle, as she's so well behaved and is crate trained. It was just really unfortunate/bad backyard breeding the previous owner got sold a dog in bad faith and wasn't able to look after a big energetic dog.

Might not have realized, given that they were thinking they were feeding for a small dog with a fluffy coat, just how under weight Doodles was getting. Maybe did their best with limited finances, maybe lots of reasons...but the important thing is that they let her go to find a home where she can thrive.
