About Doc

Doc is a retired breeding dog beginning to discover the joys of life as a family pet. Having spent most of his years in a kennel, he is still acclimating to new experiences typical pet owners appreciate, like cuddling and being around people. Doc isn't quite sure how to react to all this love, but with patience and kindness from his new family, he will learn to embrace it. His familiarity lies much more with his canine companions than with humans, so he thrives around other friendly dogs. Adopting Doc into a home with an existing dog can help guide him as he learns the ropes of pet life. This sweet boy requires an understanding family that recognizes his journey towards trust. A home with older children, or younger ones who can be gentle and patient, would be ideal. While he may not rush to snuggle just yet, we believe he will come to love those tender moments. Doc is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a fresh start. It’s time for Doc to experience life beyond the kennel. A loving family, a comfy bed, and some gentle guidance could transform his world entirely. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
