About Dougie!

Dougie! is the guy who shows everyone up at the pool party. He’s an American Bulldog who took to swimming like he’d been doing it for years—he couldn’t wait to jump in, and the look on his face says water is now non-negotiable. At home, he’s all about snuggling on the couch or gnawing on a bone. Fetch keeps things interesting, but Dougie! doesn’t need to burn off crazy energy. He’s calm indoors, content to lounge, and mellow by nature. Dougie! is completely housebroken and crate-trained, which makes things easy. He gets along well with other dogs—big or small—but doesn’t have to have a canine companion. Kids are his crowd, and he’s gentle with them. When it comes to cats, he gets a little too excited and tends to bark. Coming out of his shell on road trips is never a problem; he loves the ride and will happily travel to meet you. CHILL sums up his lifestyle, and he makes fitting into family life look effortless. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
