Meet Doug

Meet Doug — The Black-and-White Dynamo with a Heart of Gold ?? Doug is a 1-year-old, 36-pound bundle of charm who’s ready to leap straight into your heart—and maybe into a pile of leaves while he’s at it! With his striking black-and-white coat and joyful energy, Doug is the kind of pup who turns heads and wins hearts wherever he goes. This playful boy adores other dogs and thrives on social time and zoomies. He’s got that irresistible puppy energy, but don’t let the wiggles fool you—Doug is smart, eager to please, and already picking up basic commands like a pro. He’s doing great with crate training and would benefit from continued obedience classes to help him grow into the best boy ever. Doug dreams of a home with a fenced yard where he can toss his toys in the air, romp with doggie pals, and explore the world one sniff at a time. He’d make a fantastic hiking buddy, always up for an adventure and ready to be your loyal sidekick. But he’s just as happy snuggling up after a day of fun, soaking in the love from his favorite humans. With his awesome personality, affectionate nature, and zest for life, Doug is looking for a family who’s all about fun, love, and togetherness. He’s ready to give his whole heart—he just needs someone to give him theirs. Ready to meet your new best friend? Doug’s waiting to make your life brighter, one tail wag at a time.
