Golden Retriever and Yellow Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Wendell
2.5 years old 53 lbs Doodle mix

Wendell is a happy, outgoing doodle with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. Transferred to Take Paws from a rural area, he's now getting the structure and guidance he needs to become the amazing companion he's meant to be.

True to his breed, Wendell is high energy, playful, and always ready for action. He's super friendly and loves people-he just hasn't quite figured out his manners yet. His foster is actively working with him on house training, crate training, and leash skills, and he's already showing that he's a smart boy who's eager to learn.

Wendell can get a little overexcited during play and may nip playfully, so he would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy kids for now. It's all puppy-like enthusiasm-there's no aggression here, just a dog who needs guidance and outlets for his energy.
