Hi Lynne, thank you for your note. As a newbie, my first question is this......do I only complete an application for a specific doodle or do you require a completed application prior to applying to adopt a specific doodle so you have our info on hand?

We live in Fairfield, CT and I notice that there are adorable doodles in Pennsylvania (Louis the doodle) and Maryland (Sunny the doodle) yet the info tells me that the agency only adopts within a certain geographic distance from their location. So, my second question is........am I restricted to the New England area when searching for a new four-legged addition to the family? I did write a note to SpankysProject in hopes of beginning discussions to adopt Louis the doodle. As Louis is deaf and we already have a special needs westie named William (deaf and 80% blind) that we rescued a year ago, I feel we would be able to provide Louis a wonderful forever family and home with the understanding and efforts required for a special needs dog. However, SpankysProject advised that we are 1.5hrs out of their adoption region and therefore not a consideration. If this is concrete and I cannot persue adoption of Louis, what areas/agencies should I be watching for given where we live?

Lynne, thank you for your guidance at the beginning of our journey to adopt a doodle. We are excited about adding a new four-legged addition to our family and providing a wonderful home to another dog.

Best, Sylvia Hall
