Meet Ethel, an almost four-year-old, 53-pound Goldendoodle who has made remarkable progress in her foster care. While she may be naturally timid and skittish, Ethel has developed into a gentle companion who loves getting pets and accepting treats with finesse. She’s discovering that the world holds much promise and safety. Once she connects with you, Ethel turns into a devoted little shadow, perfectly content to be near her favorite humans. She's an ideal companion for anyone working from home, happily curling up close while you focus on your tasks. Ethel walks nicely on a leash and is learning commands like sit and down. She’s crate trained and finds comfort in her cozy crate, which she views as her safe retreat. When it’s playtime, she enjoys the company of both small and large dogs, getting along well with them. Ethel would thrive in a calm, patient home without small children, allowing her to continue building her confidence at her own pace. As she warms up, you’ll find a loyal companion eager to be by your side. If you’re willing to nurture this shy girl, Ethel is ready to reveal just how special she can be. Her minimum adoption fee is $300, plus a $15 rabies registration fee for residents of McLean County. Ethel has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. Get ready to welcome Ethel into your life!
