Story
Meet Brooks! This handsome 3-year-old Dogo Argentino came into a Northern California shelter with his brother Dunn (yes, Brooks & Dunn, but no country songs required here ). While Dunn found his path, Brooks waited patiently for over a year until a kind foster opened their home to him. Now, thanks to DC Dogos, Brooks officially has a chance to find his forever family. Brooks is the total package: Trained & Polite – Crate trained, housebroken, walks nicely on leash, and knows his basic obedience. Talented – Can catch treats mid-air like a pro and enjoys puzzles, nose work, and enrichment games. Playful & Goofy – Loves tossing his stuffies in the air, catching them, and zooming around proudly. He’ll even “bite the air” when he’s feeling silly. Loving Companion – Cuddles, kisses, and snuggles are his specialties. He plays well with balanced female dogs and takes good care of his toys. Adventure-Ready – Loads into the car easily and is a wonderful passenger. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, and loyal best friend who’s ready to sing his own love song with you, Brooks might just be your guy. Apply to adopt: dcdogos.org/adopt Location: Ukiah, CA

Meet MILES: Miles is just a baby at approximately 1.5 years of age. He is fully vetted and neutered, of course. Up-to-date on shots and healthy. He is house trained, crate trained, and has had professional training. He’s great on a leash. He is good with other dogs, but not cats. Fostered in the Palmdale, CA area. Miles is a very sweet, loving and friendly boy. He does really need a home the tends to be more alpha and will be able to give him the exercise that he needs. Engagement with playing and walks would be great! He’s a beautiful boy with a lot of love to give and would make a great addition to the right home.
