BANJO-TEXAS's Story

PLEASE CLICK "SHOW MORE" below to continue reading ALL about Banjo-Texas.<br/><br/>Meet Beautiful Banjo-Texas: a 3 year old male 55 lb. Bernedoodle, who is in an IDOG foster home in Houston, Texas!<br/><br/>*AGE: 3 years old (born June 2023)<br/><br/>*WEIGHT: 55 lbs. <br/><br/>*FENCE REQUIREMENT: A physical fence and yard are required as we feel this would help set him up for success. No electronic/invisible fences, or e-collars will <br/>be allowed.<br/><br/>*COAT TYPE: gorgeous curly low-shedding coat. You should be prepared to have him groomed regularly (every 8 weeks) with an estimated cost of $120/groom.<br/><br/>*ENERGY LEVEL/ENERGY NEEDS: moderate. He gets excited when it’s time to go on a walk or go outside to play. He also gets super excited to greet you when you get home but the excitement is short lived. He is such a happy, behaved, loving boy with a very easy, chill temperament. He gets about 30-60 mins of play everyday whether that be playing fetch, going on a walk, or swimming. I would not categorize him as hyper or super active, but he really enjoys the activities. If he is ever amped up, it is very short lived.<br/><br/>*DOGS: he lived with an older dog in his prior home and reportedly did well. His foster home doesn’t have another dog and he does fine as an only dog. He really LOVES his humans and will be like Velcro to them. He gets super excited when the kids come home from school.<br/><br/>*CATS: unknown; he has no exposure to cats in his foster home.<br/><br/>*KIDS: Yes! He is very good with 3 and 7 year old children in his foster home. <br/><br/>*CAR: good in the car!<br/><br/>*CRATE: He is not crated and does well out of the crate when no one is home.<br/><br/>*HOUSE TRAINED: Yes! He does not get on furniture, and he does not into things at all, potty trained. Very polite, demur pup!<br/> <br/>*LEASH: he was not leash trained prior to coming in to rescue. His foster has been working on it with him and he is getting way better. I would say he’s at 80% and will need continued training on leash.<br/><br/>*AT THE VET: prior owner said he was very good at the vet.<br/><br/>*AT THE GROOMER: prior owner said he was very good at the groomer.<br/><br/>MORE DETAILS:<br/><br/>Beautiful Banjo is a 3 year old Bernedoodle who weighs 55 lbs. He was surrendered to IDOG by his owner who loved him very much but they were overwhelmed with having a new baby and wanted him to be with a family who had more time to give him attention and exercise.<br/><br/>Banjo is SUPER sweet, behaved, and so affectionate. I think any family ready to give and receive love would be so happy with Banjo! He also trains very well. I noticed he didn’t go on walks at his last home so we have been leash training him and he picked it up quickly. <br/><br/>One thing we are still working on which he has also gotten better at not darting as soon as the door opens. I have been working on him with “stay” he is gotten A LOT better and if he does accidently slip out I say “Banjo inside!” and he runs back inside the house.<br/><br/>We think the ideal type of home for Banjo is:<br/>-a loving family who will ensure his exercise needs are met <br/>– he likes to run outside and play fetch, he LOVES walks and gets super amped up when you grab the leash, his energy is very short lived.<br/>-yard and fence for him to run and play<br/>-kids of all ages because he is such a sweet, loving, behaved dog.<br/><br/>Adjectives that describe Banjo:<br/>*Gentle<br/>*Happy<br/>*Playful<br/>*Super Friendly – does not need time to warm up to anyone<br/>*Confident<br/>*Snuggly<br/>*Submissive<br/>*Affectionate<br/>*So behaved<br/><br/>Activities that Banjo enjoys:<br/>++fetch<br/>_PLEASE CLICK "SHOW MORE" below to continue reading ALL about Banjo-Texas.<br/>Meet Beautiful Banjo-Texas: a 3 year old male 55 lb.

For 3 days after adoption/transition, the dog may wonder who you are, what the routine is, who the other dogs are. After about 3 weeks, the dog has typically acclimated to your schedule & knows her role in the house. After about 3 months, the dog has revealed their temperament & personality & settled in.<br/><br/>ADOPTION PROCESS DETAILS:<br/>*Please read ALL the information in Banjo's listing before applying to ensure you understand what he needs to be successful in his new home.<br/><br/>*Please complete our adoption application at http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application (copy/paste URL into your browser).<br/><br/>*If you completed an adoption application in the last 6 months & would like for your application to be considered for Banjo please email us at rescue@idogdoodlerescue.org.<br/><br/>*You must complete our adoption application fully.

We do not transport our dogs.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $575 adoption fee<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE EXPLANATION: Puppies & highly adoptable dogs have a higher adoption fee to help IDOG cover the vetting & expenses of the other dogs in IDOG whose adoption fees do not cover their expenses. Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.<br/><br/>TO APPLY FOR BANJO-TEXAS, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application

IDOG Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
BEFORE YOU APPLY Please consider all aspects before applying to adopt a dog. Rescue dogs usually come with a few issues and we prefer applicants that have realistic expectations and dog experience. We prefer a physical fence in most cases but will consider this on a case by case basis. Please read through all the information on our website before completing the application. To adopt one of our dogs you MUST first complete our online application. We do require an interview. In addition, a home visit will be required. We only adopt dogs to families who will keep them as inside pets. If you are not willing to work with your new rescue dog and let them get to know you at their own pace, please don't apply for one of our dogs. Returning a dog within 24-48 hours of picking it up is hard on the dog. Rescuing a dog is a lifetime commitment and if you give your all, you will get a great friend in return. They need time and patience. WHO WE ARE IDOG Rescue is a national U.S. foster-based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) public charity organization and has remained in good standing with the IRS since 2006 when IDOG was created. IDOG has been offering rescue and rehome services to Doodles, Standard Poodles and Poodle mixes since 2006. We have helped over 3,700 Doodles and Poodles to date. IDOG Rescue was the first specific rescue for Labradoodles and Goldendoodles and is endorsed by both the Australian Labradoodle Association of America and the Goldendoodle Association of America. IDOG is an approved Rescue Partner in shelters across the country and has an outstanding reputation for helping Doodles in need, no matter what color, age or health status. LOCATION OF DOGS IDOG has dogs in foster homes all over the U.S. Please see the location listed in the dog's name (for example, Toby-TX is located in a foster home in TX). In most instances, you will be required to live within driving distance of where the dog is located and to visit the dog in person. IDOG does not ship or transport dogs unless this option is stated in the listing. Shipping is stressful on the dog, and stressful for the volunteer who has to spend many hours preparing the dog and the paperwork, transporting and waiting at airports. It is not simply a matter of paying the shipping charge. We will only ship a dog if we cannot find it a home near where it is being fostered. ADOPTION FEES All of our IDOGs have an adoption fee that is non-negotiable and non-refundable. OUR ADOPTION FEES RANGE FROM $100 - $750 depending on the dog. We will require the adoption fee be paid prior to or when we transfer the IDOG to its new family. The adoption fee helps IDOG with the expenses related to the care of all of the dogs in our program and is not directly tied to the expenses incurred for that particular dog. Adoption fees allow IDOG to continue doing our life-saving work as we are 100% dependent upon adoption fees and donations to cover the costs of the dogs in our care. Each dog is assessed individually to determine the adoption fee. It currently costs IDOG an average of over $400 for basic vet, grooming, and foster care on each dog; that does not allow for the ones who get sick, need surgery, have special needs, or are heartworm positive. Adoption fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, core vaccines, fecal test/dewormer, heartworm testing, heartworm/flea/tick prevention and microchipping. All IDOGS are evaluated by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. HOW TO APPLY To apply for any of our dogs, please complete the application on our website: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application REHOMING ASSISTANCE - FOR FAMILIES WHO NEED TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOODLE/POODLE IDOG Rescue also provides assistance and support for people who need to find a new home for their family pet - our motivation is to get these dogs into homes that understand the temperaments and needs of these energetic, playful & loving dogs.
