<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When PETA\u2019s after-hours emergency team received a call about a supposedly dangerous dog, they were prepared for the worst. The caller claimed that her 3-year-old dog, Keke, had attacked another canine, and that the offending animal had to go. PETA\u2019s intrepid fieldworkers geared up, ready for the treacherous task of safely securing an unpredictable, potentially aggressive dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, they found themselves face-to-face with a terrified goldendoodle whose curls were matted and urine-stained from being perpetually crated in her own waste. Keke didn\u2019t know how to walk on a leash\u2014she cowered and flattened her body against the front porch, trying desperately to make herself as small as possible. The PETA workers were nearly overwhelmed by the stench of ammonia emanating from the house and from Keke\u2019s hair, which hit them, in their words, \u201clike a freight train.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a>
Being liberated from that filthy crate sure got Keke in her feelings. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They were already on high alert that something shifty was afoot\u2014Keke displayed no sign of aggression and was instead completely shut down\u2014and their concern grew when the woman wouldn\u2019t allow them to check on the other crated dog in the house. And when they brought Keke back to PETA\u2019s headquarters, she was so petrified that she wouldn\u2019t even walk\u2014it took 10 minutes just to coax her out of the transport crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Keke,<\/a>
\u201cLook, the new me is really still the real me.\u201d \u2013Keke, after a serious grooming sesh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

PETA notified local animal control authorities of the situation, who seized Keke as evidence that her former owner had failed to provide her with the care required by law. After a brief stint in the local municipal shelter, Keke was transferred back to PETA to recuperate and gain confidence before searching for a more permanent home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Keke,<\/a>
\u201cAre you riding?\u201d (To the park, because Keke would like to come too, please.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once Keke realized she was free from that fetid crate forever, her real personality began to peek through\u2014and it\u2019s nothing like the original description. She\u2019s quiet, chill, and laidback\u2014unusual for goldendoodles, typically known for their next-level energy. She\u2019s no longer afraid of leashes or walks, although she does like to take a break mid-stroll to lean against her human pals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Keke<\/a>
Adopt Keke, and she\u2019ll never ever leave from beside you. (Literally. The human in this photo may or may not have fallen over from the power of her super-relaxed lean.) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Having spent years largely ignored in a crate all day and forced to eliminate in the same small space where she slept, she\u2019s understandably still getting the hang of house training. Her new family must be patient as she masters the art of relieving herself outdoors. One skill she\u2019s already an expert in? Winning over everyone she meets with her contagious canine grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a>
\u201c’Cause I want ya, and I need ya!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At about 35 pounds, Keke is not the biggest doodle around, but she\u2019s still working toward a healthy weight. She\u2019s spayed and ready to ride anywhere on the East Coast for the perfect home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a>
Keke doesn\u2019t care about your net-net-net worth. (But she would like the code-code to the treat safe. You do have a treat safe, right?) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
