Introducing Dug, the delightful lab mix who’s around a year and a half old and ready to steal hearts everywhere! 💖 Picture this: a pup who embodies pure joy with a dash of playful shyness! Dug is very puppylike, overflowing with affection and the kind of love that could warm even the coldest of hearts. His greatest passions? Anything you’re eating or holding, and, of course, the art of belly rubs and treats! 🍖✨ Now, Dug's journey hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. Like many rescue pups, he faced some challenges early on with humans who didn’t treat him right. This experience has given him a touch of shyness. 🐾 But fear not, because he's learning and growing every single day! With his wonderful foster family, he’s been getting all the love and encouragement he needs. Just keep in mind, he may greet you with a bark at first. But don’t worry—once he feels your warmth, he’ll be all in for belly rubs! 😄 Dug has some specific needs for his forever home. He’d thrive best in a family without small children, as little hands can be a bit intimidating for him. A home with another dog would be fantastic! His foster siblings have helped him build confidence and learn some essential doggy manners! 🐶👏 Most importantly, he’s looking for experienced parents who understand dogs and are ready to help him flourish. So, if you’re looking for a companion who will steal your heart (and maybe a few socks along the way 🧦), Dug could be your perfect match. He’s ready to fill your life with love, laughter, and belly rubs galore! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Dug through the Buddy App today, and let this affectionate pup become a cherished part of your family!
