Adopting a Labradoodle in Newfoundland and Labrador
The Labradoodle is a Labrador Retriever crossed with a Poodle, originally bred in Australia as a low-shedding guide dog. There is a pleasing local footnote here: the Labrador half of the cross traces back to the St. John's water dog of this very coast, so half the ancestry of a Labradoodle is Newfoundland working stock. What that means in practice is a dog that loves water, retrieves everything, and has serious stamina.
Like all doodles, they are in high demand and scarce in Newfoundland rescue, appearing mainly as adolescents whose owners underestimated the exercise or the coat. This page pulls every adoptable Labradoodle and Lab-Poodle cross from the Newfoundland shelters we cover into one place, refreshed regularly.
Energy, coat care, and the wet-weather problem
Labradoodles from working Labrador lines are athletic dogs that need an hour or more of daily exercise plus training and chew outlets. They are affectionate, biddable, and good with children, and they are also mouthy through adolescence and prone to weight gain later, so measured feeding matters as it does with any Lab.
Coat care is the ongoing cost. A wavy or curly doodle coat mats quickly when wet, and this is a province where wet is the default, so plan on brushing several times a week and professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Groomers are readily available in the St. John's metro and thinner elsewhere in the province. Ask the rescue about hip and elbow health and about eye conditions, both of which are worth checking in either parent breed. Newfoundland rescues provide a veterinary assessment before adoption.

Labradoodle Adoption FAQ — St. John's
How many Labradoodles are available for adoption in St. John's?
As of August 2026, there are no Labradoodles listed in St. John's rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Labradoodles are among the rarer dogs in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Labradoodle mix.
Where can I adopt a Labradoodle near me in Newfoundland?
Labradoodles are scarce in NL rescue and appear mostly as adolescents surrendered once the exercise and grooming became real. This page aggregates every adoptable Labradoodle and Lab-Poodle cross from the Newfoundland shelters we cover; set an alert, and consider a Poodle or Lab cross, which are far more available.
Are Labradoodles hypoallergenic?
Not guaranteed. A first-generation Lab-Poodle cross can inherit either coat, and a shedding Labradoodle is entirely possible. Low-shedding coats help some people with mild allergies because dander is the real allergen, but if allergies are the reason you want the cross, spend time with the specific dog before committing.
How much exercise does a Labradoodle need?
An hour or more a day for a young one, plus training and something to chew. Both parent breeds are working retrievers, so this is an athletic cross rather than a low-key companion. Retrieving games, swimming, and scent work satisfy them better than walking alone, and an under-exercised doodle becomes destructive.
Should I buy or adopt a Labradoodle in Newfoundland?
Adopt. Doodle puppies are expensive, heavily marketed, and often produced without health testing on either side, while a rescue adult arrives with a veterinary assessment, spay or neuter, vaccinations, a microchip, and a known adult size and coat. Poodles and Poodle crosses in rescue offer the same coat advantages with better availability.
How much does it cost to adopt a Labradoodle in St. John's?
Adopting a Labradoodle in St. John's typically costs $400 to $800, and puppies usually carry a premium at $600 to $1,000. The exact fee varies by rescue, and older dogs are often reduced. That fee is not a purchase price. It covers work already done on the dog: spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a basic vet workup, which would cost several hundred dollars more if you arranged it yourself after buying. Buying the same breed from a registered breeder generally runs well over $1,000, usually with a waitlist. Ask the rescue what is included before you apply, since a few include extras like a starter bag of food or a first-month insurance trial.
Are these Labradoodles for sale in St. John's?
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Labradoodle here comes from a St. John's-area rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically a few hundred dollars and already include spay or neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip, versus roughly $2,000 to $5,000+ to buy a Labradoodle from a breeder. If you searched "labradoodle for sale St. John's," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
Where can I buy a Labradoodle in St. John's, and should I?
You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Labradoodle breeder typically charges $2,000 to $5,000+ and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Labradoodle costs a few hundred dollars fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap "for sale" ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or puppy-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on meeting the parents, seeing where the litter was raised, and getting vet records. For most St. John's families, adopting a rescue Labradoodle is cheaper, faster, and gives a dog in need a home.
