A Note from the Foster: 🐾 About Lemon:
Lemon is a bouncy, happy 3-year-old Mini Aussiedoodle who is equal parts snuggle bug and zoomie queen. With her adorable curls, intelligent eyes, and zest for life, she’s impossible not to fall in love with.
💥 Energy & Exercise:
Lemon has the classic Aussiedoodle energy—she loves to run, play, and jump (very high!). This girl would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or regular access to open spaces where she can stretch those long legs daily. Her ideal home includes another playful dog (preferably her size or larger) to match her energy level and help burn off that enthusiasm.
🐕 Social Skills & Confidence:
While Lemon is full of personality, she can be a bit skittish when meeting new people or experiencing new things. She needs a patient, understanding home that will give her time and space to build trust at her own pace. Once she warms up, her sweet and playful nature shines.
She’s still working on her social manners—jumping is her love language right now, but with consistency and guidance, she’ll learn to channel that excitement more politely. She hasn’t been exposed to small children or cats, so we’re not sure how she’d do with them.
💤 Home Life:
Crates? No thanks. Lemon much prefers to be close to her people—especially at bedtime. She’s incredibly affectionate and would love to curl up next to you on the couch after a busy day of adventures.
🍗 Food & Grooming:
She’s a very healthy eater and absolutely food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. Her fluffy, poodle-influenced coat will require regular grooming, so her future family should be prepared for the upkeep (and fluff!).
🧠 Personality:
Both her Aussie and Poodle roots bring intelligence, charm, and a big personality to this little lady. She’s clever, curious, and confident once she feels safe—and she’ll make you laugh every single day.
🏡 Ideal Home for Lemon:
Active lifestyle with daily physical activity
A playful canine companion
A family ready to continue positive reinforcement training
A calm, patient environment for slow introductions
A home where she’s not crated for long periods
Commitment to routine grooming
No small kids or cats, unless willing to do careful introductions
Ready to add a little zest to your life?
Lemon is waiting to find her forever family who will give her love, structure, and space to shine. Could it be you?
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
