Hello potential new friends!
My name is Dougy and after spending a while with my fosters, I am ready to find my forever home!
About Me:
I am a 6 month old, male, Cattle dog mix. I am a stocky boy, weighing in at 45 lbs.
I love to bounce around and play with toys. Chase is my favorite game.
I am a very brave pup and even when some things scare me, I recover quickly and investigate.
I love other dogs but can be a little reserved at first. Slow introductions are best.
I am shy with new people but once I get to know you, I am a sweet and affectionate boy.
I am mostly polite with kitties but can be a bit much at times, I just want to play! I could learn to ignore a cat if they taught boundaries.
I love playing with kids once I get to know them, they can be so fun! Dog savvy kids would be best because I can be skittish at first.
The kennel isn’t my favorite place but I am willing to take a nap in there as long as my needs are met. I sleep all night without a peep.
I am doing great on potty training and have had no accidents in my crate or inside the house. I should do well if kept on a schedule.
I am a very good walker and like to go for walks when it's cool outside.
I love spending time outside, especially if I have a stick to chew.
I do need to learn a few manners but my fosters are working on that. With your help I'll grow to be a perfect gentleman.
I listen well to corrections.
My Ideal Family:
I would love to have a family who is active. I have puppy energy and even though I love to nap in my kennel, I love to play and run even more.
It is important my new family is patient with me while I adjust but also gives me the attention I need. A family willing to continue training would be amazing.
A family with dog experience, even better if they have experience with skittish dogs.
I would love to have another dog in my new home but will do okay as a single dog as well.
Things to Remember.
I can be very reserved and skittish at first. (This is most likely due to being under socialized at the shelter.) This means that I will need to have a family who is dedicated to socializing me properly and doing training so that I can grow to become the best dog I can be.
I am 100% worth all of it and I will show you just how great I can be. If I sound like a great fit for you, apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
