About Dooley

Dooley is a vibrant 3-year-old, 95-pound Great Pyrenees who embodies the joy of companionship. Always the optimist, he approaches every moment with a belief that there’s a friend to be made or a pet to be had. His temperament is equally affectionate and playful, making him a favorite among people and other dogs. Dooley's interest in cats suggests that a savvy feline would likely fit in well with him. This gentle giant thrives on being involved in his humans' lives, whether it’s joining for a walk, playing outside, or just supervising activities that need a bit of furry expertise. He would flourish in an active home where he can enjoy regular exercise and has a bit of routine to keep things orderly. While he enjoys the company of children, a home with kids over 8 or 10 would be ideal, given his size and exuberant nature. One important note: Dooley has a knack for climbing fences, including those six-foot privacy ones, so he’ll need to be leashed during outdoor adventures. Despite this, he considers himself not just manageable but an easy-going companion who requests little beyond love and play. If a friendly and engaging dog who brightens your life sounds right, Dooley can’t wait to meet you. Your new best friend is just one click away.
