Sheepadoodle Puppies: A Loving New Companion with a Special Purpose
We recently welcomed a litter of Sheepadoodle puppies to Santuario Esperanza — and they're doing double duty. These pups are looking for committed, loving homes, and while they wait, they're helping us rebuild.
Generously donated by a sanctuary supporter, the litter is part of a special fundraising effort rather than a rescue intake. Every placement fee goes straight into sanctuary upgrades and rainy-season preparations — the repairs and reinforcements that keep our animals safe, dry, and comfortable through the months ahead. A home for one puppy means a better, sturdier sanctuary for everyone in our care.
Includes: age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming received prior to placement, plus complete health records
Born: August 9, 2026
Ready for new homes: the weekend of November 20, 2026, subject to veterinary clearance
Families are responsible for remaining puppy vaccinations and ongoing veterinary care. Every placement is carefully screened — our priority is finding families prepared to give the time, patience, training, and lifelong commitment each puppy deserves.
Meet the Sheepadoodle
Part loyal Sheepdog, part clever Poodle — all heart. These are the teddy-bear friends who follow you from room to room, greet you like you've been gone for years, and believe your lap is the only correct place to be.
Size: 50–85 lbs
Personality: affectionate, playful, gentle with kids and other pets
Brains: very smart — keep them busy and they'll learn anything
Coat: fluffy, wavy, black-and-white; low-shedding, but not no-shedding
Care: a daily walk, a good brush, and a groomer every 4–6 weeks
The catch: they hate being alone. This dog wants you.
Meet Cesar
Say hello to Cesar — Cleo's brother, and proof that littermates can be complete opposites. Where his sister is a shadow, Cesar is a comedian: the one who launches into a full-body wiggle the second you walk in, then flops over for a belly rub like he's been rehearsing it. A young Sheepadoodle with Old English Sheepdog and Poodle in his bloodline, he's all goofy confidence and good-natured mischief, and he has never once met a stranger.
Cesar is the athlete of the litter — a born runner, jumper, and enthusiastic participant in anything that looks like a game. He's smart in the way that gets him into trouble: he'll figure out the puzzle, then figure out how to open the cupboard where the treats live. Give him a job, a ball, or a scent to chase and he's the happiest dog on the property. Give him nothing to do and he'll invent something, usually involving your shoes.
For all that energy, he's a softie. Cesar is affectionate to the bone — leans into your legs, rests his chin on your knee, and follows you around hoping the next stop is somewhere interesting. He's gentle with kids and easygoing with other pets, though his playful streak means he'd rather have a wrestling buddy than a solo audience.
His coat is a striking black-and-white with a wavy, slightly unruly wave to it — the kind of fur that looks adorable right up until it meets a mud puddle. He's low-shedding, not no-shedding, so plan on regular brushing and a groomer every 4–6 weeks.
Cesar is at that wonderful young-dog stage: physically nearly grown, mentally still a puppy, and hungry to learn. He's eager to please and food-motivated, which makes him a dream in training sessions — he'll pick up sit, down, recall, and a solid loose-leash walk quickly with consistency and rewards. He'd thrive with an active family, a yard to tear around, or a dog-savvy household that enjoys a daily adventure. A tired Cesar is a very good Cesar, and a mentally tired one is even better.
If you've been looking for a running partner with a sense of humor, Cesar would like to apply for the job. He's ready to make someone laugh every single day — and follow them room to room while he does it.
