About Dooley

Dooley is a gentle giant with a heart full of love. He had a tough start and takes his time to trust new people. This sweet boy needs a patient home where he can settle in and feel safe.

Given his sensitive nature, it’s important for any potential adopters to keep him mentally and physically active. If there are other dogs or children in the home, he will need to meet them first to ensure a good fit. Every adoption comes with spay or neuter surgery, current vaccinations, deworming treatment, flea treatment, and a microchip. Please consider giving Dooley the second chance he deserves.
