Dozer

My story

Dozer has been waiting to be a permanent guest on someones couch for 210 DAYS! He is one of our favorites in the rescue, he's goofy, cuddly, and a big baby! He always runs out of his kennel with a toy in his mouth because he's just so excited! When excited he will try and nibble you with the front of his teeth if theres not a toy around to grab. this can look intimidating to people if you don't know him. Dozer has limited range of motion in his neck due to wobblers syndrome. Before being surrendered to us, he had 2 intensive surgeries on his neck to get him back to himself. Because of the operations his surgeons said that he is only to be walked on a harness. For the most part, he is non systematic. The one thing we've noticed since we've had him is he will every now and then drag his back foot. He's still up for going on long walks! Other than that he's a healthy and fit, but clumsy guy! His favorite thing is car rides!! He does FANTASTIC in the car and is always down for an adventure. As of now, we are looking for a home without any other dogs. He does well with dogs, but because of his neck, we want to limit rough play. Prior to his surrender, he lived with a young golden retriever. They did well together, but the owner couldn't read when Dozer was done playing with the overexcited puppy, so Dozer was forced to hand out some corrections to the other dog. Dozer needs to go to a home with NO cats. If other dogs are in the home, the prospective adopter must be ok with multiple greetings, slow introductions, and keeping the dogs separated in the beginning. Dozer is absolutely ready for his next and final adventure! Want to learn more about him? Fill out an application for him here: https://www.handoverrover.org/adoptionapplication
