Meet Poe and Roger!  These two loving doodles are ready to bring laughter and lots of cuddles into your life! They came into rescue due to their owner’s busy lifestyle and are in a foster home in Central Iowa.  They are a bonded pair and will be adopted together.

Poe is a 2-year-old Pyrenees Doodle who is very tall and weighs 68 pounds. She has a sweet personality, loves snuggles, and big stretches. She’ll happily plop right on your lap to get love. 

Roger is a 1.5-year-old black Goldendoodle weighing 54 pounds. He’s a sensitive sweetheart with a goofy side. He adores car rides (and might try to “eat” a few cars that pass by). 

Both dogs are incredibly gentle with kids, despite their larger size. They’re crate trained, sleep in their crates at night, and when home alone, and know basic commands such as sit and come. They love running in the yard and playing together. Poe especially loves rolling around in the grass. Neither dog has chewed anything in our house and show no signs of resource guarding. 

They’re still working on being fully house trained and do best with regular potty breaks.  Poe & Roger are also working through their reactivity to other dogs and large trucks, but they’re making progress.  On walks, Roger especially gets excited and pulls, but Gentle Leaders have helped a lot.

 Requirements:  

Children: Currently live with loud and active 8 and 10-year-old boys and do very well with all neighborhood children who visit.  Families should be aware that Poe and Roger do run hard when they get the zoomies and could inadvertently knock over a kiddo. 

Dogs: No other dogs in the house.  Both Poe and Roger are working to lessen their reactivity to other dogs.  

Cats: Unknown 

Fence: Physical ​fence required: Both stay in our 4-foot-tall fence.  They love having the space to run with each other in the yard. 

Home: They would not be suited for an apartment as they do have a loud bark.
