Bamboo

Let me start by saying I have the most fabulous silver/gray Labradoodle on earth. He was 8 years old when I decided I needed to get a friend for him to learn how to be a fabulous dog too. I was not in a hurry and I knew I would pick out the right dog if it came along. When I first saw Bamboo at Poodle Rescue of Vermont via Petfinder, his picture looked like a miniature Sterling. I was instantly on a mission to get this cutie pie into my life. I love poodles and poodle mixes. They are so smart and sweet. I had no reservations even though Bamboo should not go to a home with children. My grandson lives far away and I live alone with my two dogs in the town where I work. I contacted PRVT and went through all the steps to adopt Bamboo. The adoption fee was $500. At first I thought that was a little steep, however…they flew Bamboo up from Massachusetts to Vermont, put me and my sister (and my big dog) up in a hotel room for the night and also had me meet their trainer. They gave me an hour of training, training equipment and a pet carrier to bring my new baby home. I think I got the better deal! I only had to drive from Central NY to Vermont and back. Bamboo was a handful with his own set of problems, but I felt I was given the tools I needed to ease him into my little family. He is thriving now and a great little guy. Bamboo (Boo Boo) still has a few issues, but we are working on them constantly. It’s been less than a year and I think he has made great strides. He loves his big brother and follows him around trying to do everything Sterling is doing.
