All "Doodle" dogs adopted

PORTLAND, Ore. - More than three dozen Goldendoodle and Labradoodle dogs surrendered to the Oregon Humane Society this week have found homes, the organization said Saturday.

More than 1,000 people came to the OHS shelter at 1067 N.E. Columbia Blvd. Friday to adopt one of the dogs, which came to the organization from an overwhelmed dog breeder in St. Helens. The shelter also received more than 1,800 calls about the canines.

"There are almost 100 other adorable and adoptable dogs at the shelter," said Sharon Harmon, the agency's executive director, in a press release. "We urge everyone to come to the shelter, feel the love, and take home your new best friend – even if it is not a 'doodle' dog."

The dogs were a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, or a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They included 18 puppies, eight adult dogs, four small mixed-breed dogs, and one female mother with seven 3-day-old puppies.
