A little about them
Meet Dooley, a playful, loyal Labrador mix with a big heart and plenty of energy. This smart, affectionate one-year-old enjoys fetch, water play, belly rubs, and spending time with his people. He is social with small and senior dogs and would love a playful canine companion.
Ideal Home
Dooley would thrive with an experienced adopter who can provide consistency, exercise, companionship, and a secure space. A yard for fetch would be a wonderful bonus. He is cautious with new people at first but warms up quickly. He has not been tested with cats or children.
Ongoing Health
Dooley becomes nervous and may bark during loud noises such as thunder. He can occasionally get carsick, so short trips are best for now.
