Story
Meet Dougy the distinguished gentleman you've been waiting for. Looking for a calm, loyal companion who still enjoys a little sparkle of adventure? Dougy, an 8-year-old Maltese with impeccable manners and a kind heart, is ready to meet his forever person or people. A former puppy mill resident, this well-mannered fellow now enjoys all the comforts of a peaceful home snoozing in his fosters bedroom, lounging on the couch, and going for gentle strolls. Hes fully house trained, crate trained, and great on leash and in the car. Think of him as the perfect partner for laid-back coffee dates, lazy mornings, and cozy movie nights.Dougy may be a senior, but he still has plenty of pep and personality. He jumps when excited and definitely has his playful moments. Hes a smart boy who loves his treats and knows his sit, spin, and shake paw tricks proof that you can teach an old dog new moves! Ever the attentive companion, Dougy will politely alert you if someones at the door, but he much prefers quiet households where he can feel safe and adored. He gets along beautifully with kids, select (male and female) dogs. While he can be a little shy meeting new people, some kind words and gentle affection quickly win him over. Grooming time (minus the ear cleaning part!) is a-ok for Dougy...after all a gentleman has to look his best. If youre looking for a sweet, soft-hearted gentleman to share your quiet days and cozy evenings, Dougy is your match. All he needs now is a warm lap, an open heart, and a forever home. Please note Dougy is on Ursodiol and Denamarin for liver support and will require the supplements for the remainder of his life to keep him healthy and happy.
