Meet Dozer, the adorable, bear-like German Shepherd who's ready to steal your heart! 🐻💕 This handsome boy came to us from a tricky situation, arriving alongside two companions. Can you imagine? Left feeling a tad abandoned, Dozer initially preferred the quiet corner of the room. But oh, the magic that comes with patience! 🌈 Our journey began with gentle whispers and warm smiles. Initially, it took four or five cozy ‘sit-in’ sessions, where he could take his sweet time to approach on his terms. Slowly but surely, bonds formed like a beautiful tapestry. With each passing moment, Dozer learned that humans can be trusted and delightful! 🥰 Now, he struts around with a tail that wags like he's in a parade! 🎉 Though he’s working through some lingering fears, his progress has been nothing short of miraculous. Recently, he joined a playgroup where he shone brighter than the sun, making friends and enjoying the company of other dogs! 🐕💖 And let’s not forget the Happy Tails Hike, where he hiked side by side with his buddy Dora—talk about a dynamic duo! 🚶‍♂️🐾 Getting out of cars can still be a little daunting for him, but with your support and love, there’s no limit to how this sweet, gentle soul can thrive. At around five years old, Dozer is ready and waiting for a patient, loving home where he can blossom even further. If a loyal, teddy-bear-hearted companion is what the heart desires, then look no further than Dozer! 🥳💘 He’s looking for a special someone to share his adventures and cuddles. You can meet him at the Burbank Animal Shelter, but make sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to begin your journey together!✨
