Meet Doug

Doug came to Safe Haven as a stray found near I80, south of Ladora. He was never reclaimed - so he's found himself being loved on and cared for by our great team at Safe Haven until his forever home comes along!Doug has a great personality - he is quick to charm, but truly has loved everyone he has met so far. He enjoys his outside time going on several walks a day and more importantly, he LOVES snuggling up for rest time (even better if his person(s) snuggle up with him!) Getting a routine that works for Doug will be an important first step in his new home. Since we don't have any further history for this gentleman, we know it will be important to have a routine established to help with housetraining, sleep training, and much more in his new home. Doug is a smart boy - so we think he would learn a routine fairly quickly with patience and proper rewarding.Doug has not been with us long enough for any canine socialization within the shelter setting - as we get to know him more, we will update with any dog introduction happenings. If you're interested in meeting Doug and happen to already have a resident dog at home - we would ask for an initial meet & greet of the canines to take place to ensure proper introductions go well. These introductions can sometimes take several meetings before the dogs are comfortable or get a good "feel" for one another and whether or not the placement will work out. Our goal is to help Doug find the best suited home possible - so please inquire about him soon! We don't think this goofy, sociable boy will last long!Please complete an online adoption application as the first step of the meeting process. This application can be found on our wesbite at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps. 

Adoption Process
Adopters must fill out an application and be approved. Appointment is made to meet/pick up the pet. Adoption fee is returned if the adopter notifies us the adoption in not working and returns the pet within two weeks.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
