Meet Andy, a young small Goldendoodle with a gentle soul and a quiet, thoughtful presence. Andy came into rescue on 12/24/25 after his previous owners could not afford life-saving surgery for a mishap he had. He has fully recovered and is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and will need a dental in the near future due to early tartar. Andy weighs 22 lbs (underweight) and will need to gain at least 5 pounds to be fully healthy.

Andy is a sensitive, careful dog who thrives in calm, consistent environments. He’s not looking for chaos, constant activity, or frequent visitors. What he wants most is steady guidance, patience, and a predictable home, ideally with another confident dog to mentor him through transitions.

🏡 Best in calm, stable households with clear routines and minimal change
