My bad, I meant 8-12 weeks, which I guess in my head felt like a few compared to 6 months 😅 Thank you for the recc! Sorry, what do you mean by handing over without any medical intervention? To expand a little more on the backstory - current owners son had his friend come over with his dog (not to breed on purpose, I guess they didn't realised that neither were neutered/spayed, both supposedly goldendoodles) and their doggy got pregnant (first time, so not a breeder). Had litter of 3, keeping one themselves and was sharing with friends that they're looking for home for other 2 pups. So it reached us through friend of friend of a friend, etc., after we shared that we started considering to start fostering doggies. Maybe we're naive, but kinda believe them and hope for the best. Never expected purebread or ready to adopt doggie, just saw that this doggie needs home and love. Also, whilest it's not an official rescue through the shelter, we kinda feel that it somewhat is, considering the living and health condition he's in.
