About Cedrik

Meet Cedrik! This sweet eleven-and-a-half-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle is currently in Gilbertsville, PA. Cedrik exudes a gentle mix of devotion, playfulness, and golden-coated charm, weighing in at 29 pounds. A medium-sized boy, Cedrik loves to be near his favorite people. He adores hugs, kisses, and cozy bedtime companionship. His unique way of communicating—offering a soft half-bark and a direct stare when he wants dinner or a potty break—is simply adorable. It’s hard to resist that face! Cedrik is smart, having completed formal obedience training, and knows commands like sit, paw, and bedtime. He enjoys squeaky toys, car rides, and is fully house-trained. He thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time, as being alone is tough for him. Loud noises, like fireworks, can be frightening, and he tends to bark at other dogs and get excited by passing trucks during walks, so attentive leash handling is essential. He's compatible with some dogs, but his relationship with cats remains a mystery, and he's had limited recent interactions with children. As a senior, Cedrik requires thoughtful health support. He shows signs of arthritis and has experienced seizures tied to overheating or overstimulation. His last seizure was about a year ago, and while careful monitoring is essential, daily medication isn’t currently required. Dog parks and grooming salons should be avoided, but mobile grooming every five weeks suits him well. Cedrik is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He would thrive in a calm, loving environment where he can receive gentle routines, positive reinforcement, and plenty of affection. This lovely boy could be the golden sidekick you've been looking for, ready to share your days, cuddles, and quiet adventures.

He can also be considered for long-distance adoption; love knows no bounds when finding the perfect companion!
