Expresso Needs a Foster or Adopter by March 14, 2026 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Expresso is currently in Arkansas and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure his spot on the 3/14 transport from Arkansas to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we’re hopeful the right person is out there.

Meet Expresso

Expresso is an approximately 1-year-old Lab/Doodle mix who is ready for a fresh start. He and his siblings (Latte and Mocha also available) were found as an
abandoned litter and brought to a kill shelter in Arkansas when they were young pups. After being moved around multiple times, they are now at a smaller local shelter and being fostered on someone’s property, though they do not live inside the home. Expresso has spent much of his young life waiting and bouncing between places, and he deserves stability and a forever family.

Expresso, Latte, and Mocha are the last three remaining from their litter. There were a few more siblings who have since been adopted, including Whiskers who got adopted off our 2/14 transport.

He has a sweet, friendly personality and enjoys being around people. Expresso does well with dogs and is good with kids. He has not yet been tested with cats, but would likely do fine with proper introductions.

Expresso weighs about 50 pounds, is neutered, and heartworm negative. Because he has not been living inside a home, he may need guidance with house training and leash manners, but he is young and ready to learn. With consistency and love, he is sure to blossom into a devoted companion.

Gender: Male (neutered)
Weight: 50 lbs
Breed: Lab/Doodle mix

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**

The labradoodle is a popular crossbreed known for its friendly and sociable nature, making it an excellent family pet. This hybrid dog is a mix between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, combining the intelligence of the Poodle with the outgoing personality of the Labrador. Labradoodles come in various sizes, colors, and coat types due to their mixed heritage. They are highly adaptable, easy to train, and known for their hypoallergenic fur, making them a favorite choice for allergy sufferers.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
