Introducing the incredible Douglas, affectionately known as Dougie! 🎉 This tenderhearted gentleman is truly a heartbreaker in the making. Can you believe this wise soul has already graced the world for 13 glorious years? 🌟 Once basking in the love of his devoted human, Dougie faced a heartbreaking transition when his person had to move into a nursing home, leaving our sweet boy searching for a new companion to cherish him in his golden years. 💔 But fear not, because Dougie is ready to find his forever home, where love and care will wrap around him like a cozy blanket! Initially, the change weighed heavy on Dougie’s furry heart, and he spent his first weeks in foster care in quiet solitude—a true canine philosopher lost in thought, napping the days away. 🐶 But with a gentle nudge from his foster mom, Dougie began to break free from his shell! Now, when she’s nearby, he joyfully wags his tail, seeking head pats, ear rubs, and those delightful back scratches. And guess what? Instead of snoozing all day, he now confidently explores his foster home! His backyard escapades are a highlight, as he adores basking in the sun and paying visits to Mr. Bunny—a loyal statue friend that always stays put! ☀️🐰 Though Dougie’s vision and hearing might not be as sharp as they used to be, every little touch surprises him and fills him with joy! This loving soul seeks a gentle, quiet home with patient adults who will allow him to adjust at his own pace while showering him with encouragement as he blossoms into a more active and outgoing fellow. 🌼 As an independent gentleman, Dougie isn’t much of a snuggler just yet, but who knows? More cozy moments might be in his future as he grows comfortable in your care. 🥰 He requires a fenced-in yard for his sun-worshipping adventures and, while he isn’t leash-trained (and seems uninterested in the idea!), he’ll need assistance navigating steps. His ideal humans will be present throughout the day to help him enjoy frequent time outside, exploring every corner and sniffing all the wonderful scents of his new world! He’s mostly housebroken with the safety net of pee pads, and he can sleep through the night like a little champ. Dougie is also perfectly fine being home alone while his humans step out for errands, proving that he can be both independent and charming! Can you be the loving soul that gives Dougie the soft landing he desperately deserves? This delightful 6-pound companion is eagerly waiting for his forever home! Please remember, you must apply to adopt him through the Buddy App! 🐾💖
