Hi there! I'm Zachary, an adorable Mini Golden Doodle puppy, and I'm ready to find my forever home! I'm a confident, active little guy weighing in at just 10 pounds. At about 2 months old, I'm playful with the resident dogs and bring joy to everyone I meet. My curiosity and eagerness to be involved in whatever is happening make me a delightful companion.

I'm not just cute but also smart and receptive to training. I'm catching on quickly to commands like "sit" and "go potty," and with consistent scheduling, I'm very close to being potty trained. While I'm already crate trained, I'm working on my leash skills and making great progress. With a little more practice, I'll be a pro at walking on a leash.

My favorite pastime? Playing with squeaky toys and just being present with my humans. I love cuddles and will just be there with you, whether you're watching TV, reading a book, or working from home. I will fetch socks while you fold the laundry and be your cheerful little helper. I'm great with children and get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. While I do bark often, my lively personality and potential to excel with positive training make up for it. Once I know more about you and my new home, I am sure I will be less vocal.

I would thrive in a home where I can be involved in lots of activities. I don't need a fenced yard as long as I get my regular leash walks. Ideally, my new family will be home most of the time to keep me company and continue my training. I think I'd be happiest with someone or a family that would involve me in a lot of activities because I'm very smart and with positive training, I could excel at any task.

If you're looking for a smart, joyful, and playful addition to your family, I could be the perfect match for you!

*I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. 

T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.  

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
