From his foster: Doug is super sweet, happy, loving and playful - everyone that has met him, loves him (even the tellers at the bank when he jumped on their counter - long story)! He's always excited to meet new people (is learning not to jump), eager to learn, treat motivated and very gentle when taking food from your hand. When you need him to be calm, he settles right in and loves to snuggle on the couch but likes his bed too / he sleeps in the best but weirdest positions. He very much enjoys car rides (but not the car wash!) and always loves being in our presence. We do not kennel him. He loves to meet us with a toy when we come home and "talks" to us with the squeakers. He is a VERY good dog and will be a loyal companion.
We feel Doug would do best with someone that knows dogs and will be a confident, patient owner who can lead, teach, and provide fun challenges to keep his brain busy (he loves hide and seek with his treats and toys). Doug is intelligent and loves learning and praise. He lived between the city and a farm so likes to chase rabbits and squirrels; he becomes quite distracted in the yard and while walking, etc., we are working on that with a slip lead and harness. We heard he can jump fences although he has not jumped ours, but he hops like a deer so we believe it! Because of this, we never let him out in the yard without watching him - he would definitely need a fenced yard or electric perimeter (not preferred because he's kind of sensitive). He seems tough but is a little skittish around bon fires and hoses/sprinklers. Doug does not "ask" to go outside - his previous owner slept *a lot* and he stayed right with her so he is very used to holding his bladder. He's been with us since July and has never had an accident in the house. Although we know he lived temporarily with large breed dogs and did well, we have not witnessed him with other dogs so cannot answer the questions below honestly - the same goes for children although he hasn't shown aggression towards anyone in our home or yard. I believe in my heart, that he would love another dog to play/live with.
My name is Doug.

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.
If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

More about this rescue
The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.
We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.
You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
