About Don

Don is settling in smoothly, like a pup who knows he’s home and has discovered there are snacks to be had. His walks aren’t just a journey; they’re a thorough exploration of every intriguing scent and patch of grass. He gets along well with dogs and cats, but he’s also perfectly fine in a home without them. What really matters to Don is knowing where his favorite person is; he enjoys keeping close tabs and will follow you from room to room. You can often find him by your side, napping on the couch or standing on his hind legs for a hug. If you happen to pause your petting too soon, he’ll tap your hand to politely urge you to continue. Don sleeps soundly through the night and has never had any accidents. He enjoys car rides, leash walks, and spending time in the backyard, taking his sniffing duties seriously while also watching the world from the window. Even though he has a minor heart murmur and some arthritis, he's still quite mobile and can manage stairs easily. He enjoys cuddle time, though he may not be the best fit for homes with very young children. If approached gently, he tolerates being picked up for a short while. If a cozy companion who loves quality snuggle time sounds perfect for you, Don might just be the one. Fostered in Rockville, MD. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
