About DougieUPDATE

Meet DougieSWEETEST, a charming 6-year-old Rat Terrier with a knack for giving the warmest hugs, wrapping his long legs around your neck! He was surrendered right before the 4th of July because his owners were moving. At only 11.5 lbs, he came to us in a vulnerable state, but he's already gained 3 pounds with just regular meals, showing his spirit and love for food. This affectionate boy adores cuddling and follows you around with his big doe eyes, longing for attention. He has previously lived with kids and larger dogs, fitting in effortlessly thanks to his gentle nature. DougieSWEETEST is looking for stability and regular meals to thrive in the years to come. If you're interested in giving Dougie the forever home he deserves, please email njwoof@cs.com to arrange a meeting in Northern NJ. Let's help him on his journey to a happy life.
