My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dozer, a vibrant and intelligent dog who thrives on interaction and play. His boundless energy and friendly nature make him the perfect companion for active individuals or families. Smart and trainable, Dozer knows his house manners but could benefit from some additional obedience training to channel his excitement and occasional jumpy behavior. With other dogs, Dozer is wonderfully submissive and respectful, showing a gentle side to his playful personality. He`s also cautious yet friendly when meeting cats, ensuring a peaceful interaction. However, Dozer`s energetic spirit means he can be a bit too rough for young children so he`ll need to live with kids at least 12 years old. He`s a bit needy for attention and loves to chew, so he`ll thrive with someone who appreciates his intensity and can provide plenty of toys and engagement. He would love a big back yard and lots of people to provide an outlet for his energy. He weighs 43 pounds and likes fetch, running, toys, walks (yes, he leads the way), and chase. He knows the sit, come, no, and off commands. He loves being petted and is fond of belly rubs. Adopt Dozer for a loyal and loving addition to your home. (tw 11/14/2025)
