Please contact Nancy Anderson (nancya@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy boy ready to play! DOUG NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Doug and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Oct. 6th) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Doug Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd and retriever mix Best Guess for Age: 9 months as of July 2024 SEX: Male Estimated Weight: 22 lbs as of 6/7/24; he likely is still growing! Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested Currently Living at: DC area foster home. Special Adoption Considerations: Because Doug is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing him in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise. Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash. We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant. Doug is Looking For: His forever home. This cutie may look like a big boy but he's really a big older puppy! He hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and is eager to have his own humans for romps in parks and all the adventures they can dream up, and make lots of people and pup pals along the way. Exploring all the toys to see which he likes best sounds great too, And he's excited to go to dog school so he can show how super smart he is!Most of all, though, he wants to be a well-loved dog for all his days. In exchange he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is he the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Doug is a lively 22-pound bundle of love. He is shy at first with new people, but quickly warms up with a little time and plenty of treats. He bonds closely once his trust is won, relishing cuddles on the couch and lavishing kisses on his people. Doug adores the company of other dogs, big and small. He loves to play run and hide, or simply sit side-by-side, sniff, and lick ears. He also respects boundaries they set. He is fond of toys, especially plush toys and chew bones. He plays ball enthusiastically, tossing and catching the ball by himself when no one else is around. He likes his playtime outside, often indulging in wild zoomie loops around the yard. He enjoys long walks and sniffing along the way, although we are working on curbing his enthusiastic tugging when squirrels or deer pass by. Doug has caught on quickly to simple commands like “sit” and “touch.” He takes his favorite cheese and liver treats gently from our hands. He has made great progress with house training. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night and willingly enters it when we leave home. Our family has enjoyed fostering Doug, who has become a dear companion to us and a playful buddy for our two dogs (big shephusky and tiny bichon). Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.
