In a few words:
Goofy, adorable, unique, fun, easy to be around, young at heart. Calm on the lead, good with other dogs mostly girls, would actually do well with another female. Water baby, travels ok in the car, enjoys adventures, likes to try to train and.. has unique feature, bless him, has no teeth!
Why is he an underdog?
In more depth
Anyone interested in Dooley please start by watching the video with Jon, who fostered him as it gives a great assessment of who he is.
Dooley is a wonderful dog who came to the UK from Romania via another rescue and ended up with us as his foster placement fell through. He came to us a little shy and not used to walking on lead but is now a transformed dog. Dooley is an amazing character, very street dog like, with a lifetime of experience, he is a real enthusiastic dog and very funny with it. His up-down ears and tongue to the side (no teeth 😊) give him huge character too. Dooley always likes to do a little
dance before going on a walk, and then trots off like it's the best thing in the world.
He does need an experienced home just because he needs people sensitive to the fact that as an older street boy, everything or most things will be new to him ion a home. He has been hugely loved when out on foster, and no doubt he will bring a lot of sunshine to any home with his cute ways and his fun personality.
We are looking to place him as an only dog or with a well-matched female dog, in and adult only, experienced home. He will do great in a suburban or more rural environment as opposed to central town and he would love a secure garden of his own. He may be an older dog, but he is very active and loves running around and going on good walks. We are unsure of his age, and whilst we do think he is a little older, he is a very active lad.
Dooley has had a full vet check and in good health.
