Meet 2502-0645 Douglas

SUPER FUN & SUPER CUTE! DOUGLAS - 3 years old, 50 pounds, friendly, playful, active, very puppy like Douglas arrived as a stray but, bc he is microchipped, we already know his name and age.  Someone loved him. Someone provided a good home and seemed to socialize him pretty well. He is friendly from the start. Happy and sweet and this boy loves treats! Douglas is very active. As soon as we got into the yard, he spotted a toy and that was the end of it! He grabbed it, ran around with it and squeaked it. So funny! He would always come back to me to play but didn't drop it unless I offered a treat. I had to be quick, though, when getting the toy as he jumped for the treat!  And then off again, he ran like lightening to retrieve the toy. We don't know much more about Douglas so learning as we go with this staff described GOOD BOY :)  Douglas seems very puppy like in his energy and spontaneity. Potential adopters should also be ready for this with patience and maybe some training to help create that unbreakable bond that comes with respect and obedience. We don't know how he feels about other dogs so bring yours in for a meet and greet and please understand that supervision will be vital with adopting. Douglas is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him when you come in, please just ask.
