More About Mystique

Mystique is a gorgeous, young female Labradoodle who is white with dark gray markings and looks like a miniature Old English Sheepdog. She is so gorgeous with her party colors and she knows that she is, too! She is confident and outgoing and loves everyone. She was turned into a shelter when her owners moved and were unable to take her with them.

Mystique is so incredible and sweet and beautiful, it is hard to believe that we took her out of a shelter on the the day that they were going to put her down. She is young and adorable, and now is in great health and ready to find the best home on earth. This is just another example of why we need to regulate breeders and STOP the designer dog craze that is causing even more breeding as in the case of "Labradoodles" like Mystique. Mystique and the other Labradoodles and Doodle combinations we currently have all came from shelters on their very last day and would have died for sure if we had not taken them, yet designer dog breeders are still over breeding and selling them for thousands of dollars. These breeders could care less about the fact that there are already too many dogs that cannot find homes and are dying in shelters every day. People reading this, please don't buy a designer dog from a breeder.

We've had calls from ten shelters recently with more Labradoodles, and you can find them all over great websites like Petfinder for adoption . PLEASE, if you want a Labradoodle or so called "Designer Dog," get them from a rescue, a shelter or seek them out on websites like Petfinder. Do NOT support the Designer Dog breeders that do this for profit and that only assure our shelters will remain full, that dogs will die everyday, and that rescues like us who don't believe in breeding will continue to have the unfathomable job of trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon as we clean up the messes that these breeders are continuing to make with their over breeding! We will make sure that Mystique finds the best home on earth where he will be loved and adored and appreciated and where he will be happy and safe for life!

The fact that such an amazing wonderful dog like Mystique could ever have been discarded and left to die in a shelter shows why all of us should support all the new laws regulating breeding. Obviously, there are far too many dogs being pumped out by some greedy breeders when as wonderful a dog as Mystique could wind up dead in a shelter had we not taken her out on her last day! - just as that happens every day for the millions of other wonderful beloved dogs of all breeds and mixes.Every life is precious and should be valued and protected. Until the news laws are fully enacted and the greedy breeders stopped, this sad situation will continue where precious lives are at risk and unless we rescuers come to their aid, they are and will continue to be lost every day! Please read about our support for the new laws regulating breeding at this link on our website: (http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/ca_healthy_pets_act_page_1.htm#act1). Read our letter, and please write your own letters in support of these new laws so that together we can help make this a more moral world where every dog and cat and puppy and kitten will be assured a safe and loving home for life!

Because we receive hundreds of inquiries each week about the many beautiful dogs that we have for adoption, and because we have a limited staff, we can only answer inquiries about our available dogs IF YOU HAVE AN APPROVED ADOPTION APPLICATION ON FILE WITH US!

Please fill out our Adoption Application to inquire about or to adopt this Gentle Giant or Little Giant at http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/forms/adoption_application.htm

If you cannot adopt a dog at this time, please consider giving a tax deductible donation http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/donations.htm#donation1
to help provide food, shelter and medical care to the many needy dogs we rescue each week who are looking for safe, loving homes for life!

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, de-wormed, and are treated with Advantix for fleas and ticks. They are also micro-chipped.

Mystique is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
