About Doogan

Doogan is a husky-corgi mix who proves big hearts sometimes come in smaller, goofy packages. Despite his short legs and compact frame, he manages to stand out—he greets everyone with a wide, toothy grin and non-stop butt wiggles, even if his excited smile gives strangers pause at first. Doogan's happiest moments are spent with people: belly rubs, leaning into hugs, and staking his claim for your attention with the occasional enthusiastic paw tap. He’s a master at entertaining himself, whether that means playing with toys or rolling gleefully in the dirt. Doogan craves human company more than anything, but he’s less comfortable with other dogs due to a lack of early socialization. He can snap if another dog pushes his limits or gets too close, so he'd thrive as the only dog in the house. Over time he might learn to share space with another gentle pup, but his best life is probably a solo act on the dog front. The good news: Doogan minds his manners around cats, usually ignoring them, and he’s gentle when kids are involved. If you’ve got patience and want a loyal, quirky companion to keep you smiling, Doogan’s eager to make your home his. Click apply to start the adoption process.
