About Doc

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Doc, although his foster mom affectionately calls him Teddy! At 7 years old, he's a wonderful senior who brings a playful spirit wherever he goes. Even though he's considered a senior, his love of play hasn't faded, but he also equally enjoys curling up on top of his favorite person for some heartfelt snuggles. Snuggle time is his number one favorite activity! Doc gets along nicely with other dogs, though he would prefer slow introductions to new canine friends to ensure everyone feels comfortable. He does experience a bit of arthritis in his back legs, so joint supplements and occasional pain medication make a big difference for him—something his future family should be ready to provide. Despite this, he gets around well and is eager to please, proving he's still full of joy and affection. With a heart brimming with love, Doc is searching for his forever home where he can continue bringing happiness and laughter. As a late Pisces, he's known for his gentle soul and loving nature. Are you ready to open your heart to this snuggly companion? They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
