Latke will initially be placed on a foster basis. Should her fosterers wish to adopt her, they may apply to do so—at which point an adoption fee will apply. Full support is provided during the foster period, including coverage of all care-related costs.

Latke is a bright, sensitive, and incredibly loving little Cavapoo who is looking for her perfect match. At 3 years old, she has so much personality and loyalty to give — once she trusts you, she’s all in. But building that trust takes time, patience, and a gentle, understanding heart.

💖 What Makes Latke So Special?

Latke is full of character. She knows loads of tricks — sit, stay, paw, spin, fancy sit, and roll over — and she’s wonderfully food-motivated, which makes training (and winning her over) much easier. Her lead is her favourite thing in the world — just picking it up gets her excited for a walk.

On walks, she’s curious and confident with the right handler. She tends to get along best with small, fluffy dogs but doesn’t enjoy big dogs (she’s been attacked before) and doesn’t like dogs sniffing her face or taking your attention. 

💡 Important to Know

Latke has fear-based behaviours that require management and understanding. She’s not comfortable around children — she may growl or snap if approached, especially suddenly or when touched on the top of her head. Her ideal home would be a calm, quiet one with no children or visiting children, and no other pets. She needs adults who are experienced with dogs who are patient and understanding towards her.

She can growl or snap if handled when she’s resting, in her bed, eating, or if she feels overwhelmed — even with people she knows well. But this isn’t coming from a place of malice — it’s fear. After these incidents, she often shows remorse and seeks comfort. She’s a sensitive soul who just wants to feel safe.

🧠 Her Journey So Far

Latke was an outgoing puppy but always had a sensitive side. After a difficult first season and being spayed, her anxiety and wariness around people worsened. She’s been tried on a few medications to help her feel a bit more at ease — but she still needs careful, consistent emotional support to build her confidence and feel secure in her environment.

She is not suited to a home where people come and go frequently, or where there’s a lot of unpredictability. She needs someone with no upcoming holidays, who can give her stability, consistency, and patience. If you have a quiet home without many visitors then Latke will be perfect for you. 

Training & Handling Approach

Doodles like Latke are sensitive, intuitive dogs who require calm, confident, and positive handling.


We do not permit aversive or punitive training methods, including shouting, physical correction, isolating the dog, or any form of rough handling.

Fosterers and adopters must have a gentle, reward-based approach and the ability to spot and respond appropriately to subtle signs of anxiety or stress. Latke is a dog who will flourish with understanding and consistent, compassionate training.

You will be supported by Doodle Rescue with Latke’s behavioural needs to make sure her transition to your home is positive for all. 

Latke’s owners describe her as being the perfect dog most of the time. She is 98% pure joy and love — but the 2% that requires patience and commitment is crucial.Her current family loves her dearly but knows that their current home situation is not suitable for Latke, the stress for Latke will only increase.

Application & Vetting Process

Doodle Rescue is a small, volunteer-run organisation. Due to high volumes of applications:

  • Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted—within 3 days of submission—via Facebook Messenger or email.

  • If you do not hear from us within 3 days, your application has unfortunately not been successful.

  • We are unable to respond to requests for further information before an application is submitted, and we do not retain unsuccessful applications due to GDPR.

By submitting an application, you agree to our full vetting process, including reference checks and a home visit.

If you believe you can provide Latke with the home he needs to thrive—either as a foster carer or in hopes of adopting—please submit your application today.


Doodle Rescue is run by a small team of volunteers. We typically receive in excess of 100 applications for available dogs and we regret that we are unable to respond to unsuccessful applicants individually. If your application has been shortlisted to the next stage of our vetting process, or if we require additional information to enable us to fully consider your application, one of our volunteer admin will contact you via Facebook Messenger, by email or by phone/SMS within 3 days of your adoption application form submission. If you do not hear from us within this time frame, regrettably your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. We endeavour to provide sufficient information in each dog’s adoption bio to give an overview of our assessment of the dog and the required criteria to be considered to adopt the dog, to enable interested parties to assess suitability before submitting an adoption application. We regret that at this early stage of our vetting processes it is not possible for our volunteer admins to respond to requests for further information on a dog available for adoption since – with limited resources and time - we must prioritise finding the right home for the dog and we are grateful for your understanding in this matter. We regret that we are unable to enter into any correspondence with unsuccessful applicants or with those who are considering submitting an application but who have not yet done so. Note: due to GDPR we do not retain unsuccessful applications on our system and a new application will need to be submitted for any other available dogs. Please be aware that our vetting processes are thorough to ensure the welfare of the dogs and by submitting an application you are agreeing to cooperate with our processes. Note: due to GDPR we do not retain unsuccessful applications on our system and a new application will need to be submitted for any other available dog.

EVERY DOG IN OUR CARE IS CAREFULLY ASSESSED AND OUR ASSESSMENTS FORM THE BASIS OF THE CRITERIA TO BE CONSIDERED TO FOSTER OR ADOPT THEM. OUR PRIORITY IS THE WELFARE OF THE DOGS AND WE REGRET THAT THE STATED CRITERIA ARE NOT OPEN TO NEGOTIATION.
