DOUGLAS

Douglas has the kind of face that tells a story, but the best part of his story is happening right now. This handsome senior gentleman may have arrived a little worn around the edges, but his heart is as warm as ever. While he was initially more interested in treats than making new friends, it didn't take long for his sweet personality to shine through. During his exam, Douglas made it clear that he enjoys affection, repeatedly turning around to make sure people had easy access to his favorite scratching spots. If you've ever met a dog who believes every petting session should continue indefinitely, you'll understand Douglas immediately. At an estimated seven to eight years old, Douglas has the easygoing charm that comes with maturity. He allowed handling without issue, stood patiently for his care, and showed everyone what a kind soul he is. Douglas is currently receiving attention for some medical concerns, including being underweight and having a sore paw, but his gentle nature remains front and center. He deserves a home where he can trade uncertainty for comfort, enjoy good meals, soft beds, and all the affection he can convince people to provide. For someone looking for a loyal companion with a loving heart and plenty of character, Douglas is ready to step into the role.
