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 — Newfoundland and Labrador
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.
