About Doug

Doug is about a year old and impossible to ignore—he is pure puppy energy from head to toe. Since he was picked up as a stray, there’s not much known about his past, but it’s clear he was built for fun. Playtime tops Doug’s list of passions, and sometimes he gets so excited he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Doug clicks with other dogs—especially energetic ones—and would do well in a home with a playful canine companion who enjoys romping around as much as he does. Already housetrained, Doug brings a solid behavioral base to the table, but he still needs some guidance. A patient, caring adopter willing to keep up training will get his full devotion—and he gives it easily. Doug is eager to please and loves his people, which makes him a quick study and a remarkable bonding partner. Offer him structure, affection, and a solid game of fetch, and you’ll unlock everything he has to give in return. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
