About Doug

Meet Doug! Doug is a 6-year-old purebred Miniature Poodle with a gentle spirit and a remarkable backstory. Rescued after being found severely matted, he had to be shaved down completely. But don’t fret—his lovely poodle curls will soon return! This sweet boy comes from champion bloodlines, yet he has had a tough time, changing owners multiple times despite his young age. His original breeder was unreachable, leaving Doug once again searching for a stable home. So far, Doug is adjusting well to his foster home, demonstrating his potty training skills without issue. While he’s friendly with dogs, he would prefer a home without small children. Doug deserves a loving family that will stick by him for good. He’s not looking for another temporary stay; he’s ready for his forever home. Transport is available throughout Florida for the right family! Ready to give Doug the happy ending he deserves?
