Hi Everyone - my name is Skipper! I am a 4-month old Black Goldendoodle who came into RAGOM after being rescued from the breeder cycle. I arrived just over a week ago and am already accustomed to the fancy lifestyle of a suburban boy.

My foster mom started telling me to "sit" one day, so I sat, because I seemed to already know how to do it! She now keeps saying the words "lay down" and I think it means that I should fall asleep on the floor but I'm still trying to understand her a bit more. My foster mom says I'm a really smart boy!

My favorite things to do are chew all of my new fun toys (my favorite is a rope toy with tennis balls on both ends), nap on the couch on top of my human, play with my new neighbor doggy friends, and explore the neighborhood on those leash things.

I'm fine going to the bathroom in my fenced yard or on the leash thing they put me on - so I don't need a fenced in yard but boy are they fun to run around in! I’d prefer a fenced yard, but if you don’t have one, my foster mom will want to hear about your plan to keep me safe while in the yard.

PS: my parents are really impressed that I only go bathroom outside and haven't had any accidents in the house… why would I want to go bathroom inside?

I get along with my chihuahua brother (even though he's not the biggest fan of me) and I also don't mind my cat brother, he seems fun! I've met my neighbors that are a bunch of different doggos and I liked them all so much! I love friends! I met the kids next door and really like them so it's okay if you have kids running around.. maybe they'd even play with me!

My foster parents keep trying to put me in the crate which I don't love but, after crying for a little bit, I give up and fall asleep. Since I'm still a puppy, I'm still learning manners and do stuff like chew on remotes and other fun things around the house. I even put my tall legs to use to see onto the counter but I suppose I'll learn with time that I should probably stay on the ground.

My dream life is to have a family that will take me on long walks to tire me out, play fetch with me, and hopefully have animal siblings or close animal friends that I can have fun with daily! I also love car rides so if you would be willing to take me fun places like vacation or day care to meet new friends, that sounds so exciting!

I will be ready to go to my forever home following my neuter on April 7th. I hope to hear from you soon!
