Douglas

Fill out an adoption form

Have you been looking for a new best friend?…then you need Douglas!
He will dedicate his life to his person and want to be with you all the time, but don’t worry, when you need to go out, he can stay with his Kong treat or in his crate.

And if you work from home, he would make a great office mate. His daily routine involves a lot of napping, especially after his post breakfast stroll and lunchtime meander.

Douglas is house trained, crate trained and a really fast learner. He is very food motivated so training is a breeze. He has completed his Good Pup training and is now in a nose work class where he is having a great time.

Douglas needs slow introductions to people, but he has discovered he likes them because they often have treats.
He never learned to play nicely with dogs, but he is working on it. It would be best that he be the only dog in the household and his play style may be too much for cats.
Dougie is a bit too energetic for young kiddos, but dog-savvy older children who will help with training would be just fine.

Don’t miss this special boy, he will give you his heart!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
