My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Doug – A Spirited Companion with Lots of Love to Give!

Doug is a vibrant and energetic pup looking for an active and patient home to help him thrive. This lively dog is food-motivated (always ready to earn treats!) and loves adventures, from car rides with the windows down to bracing walks in the cold and wind. His high energy and curiosity mean he needs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and sturdy toys like Nylabones or balls to keep him entertained.

While Doug is working on his manners, he’s already made great strides. He’s learning leash etiquette, settling into his crate with a little help from white noise and a cozy setup, and becoming more confident in his potty training. He’s fantastic at passing people on walks and even stopping to say hello! However, his excitement can sometimes lead to nipping or vocalizing when he needs attention, so he’d do best with someone ready to guide him with structure and clear boundaries.

At home, Doug loves enrichment activities like lick mats and Kong toys and enjoys chilling with a seatbelt leash in the car. He’s adapting to life indoors but still needs support in avoiding counter surfing and feeling confident when left alone. On the bright side, he’s unfazed by loud noises like thunder, sirens, or household sounds, making him a resilient and adaptable companion.

If you’re looking for a spirited and affectionate pup who’s eager to learn and full of potential, Doug might just be your perfect match. With consistent training, exercise, and love, he’ll reward you with endless joy and loyalty. Come meet him and see if he’s the right fit for your home!
