Howdy, I’m Dougie Doo. I’ve been in foster care for over a year now and, while I love my foster family, I’m really ready for a place to call my true home. I’m basically a teenage boy in a dog’s body—full of joy, confidence and the belief that I might just be top dog. I love being part of a family and I’m actually pretty great at the important stuff: I’m crate-trained, house-trained, respectful indoors, not food aggressive and I can settle quietly on my bed after a fun day. Speaking of fun … Everyday in my world is a Dougie Doo day! And spending time with my family is my kinda fun. We could be swimming, biking, walking, playing with toys or just relaxing together. I’m game for almost anything. The dog park isn’t really my scene though; I get so excited to meet everyone that my listening skills (and basic commands like “come” or “sit”) temporarily disappear. I still pull a bit on leash and do best with a head collar or figure-8 slip collar. I also need a secure fenced yard—despite healing from broken toes after being hit by a car, I still think running alongside vehicles to see who’s faster sounds like a good idea. I’d thrive in a home with people who enjoy spending time with me and have patience, consistency and a sense of humor. I could be your only dog, or live with a female dog after a slow introduction. I’m not perfect—but with time, guidance and love, I could be your perfect. If you’re ready to work toward that together, I’m ready to meet you.
