Psst… hi! Doug here.

I've got the moves, the manners, and a mild neurological condition that makes me look perpetually surprised—but honestly, I'm just here for treats and your couch.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

Born and (almost) raised right here in SKOKIE.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Labor Day — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Doug

About Doug

Doug is an 18-month-old German Shepherd Dog weighing approximately 50 pounds who was rescued from Chicago Animal Control as a stray. He has nystagmus (involuntary eye movements) and mild head shakiness of unknown cause, which do not appear to affect his daily functioning. In his foster home, Doug lived well with a female husky, senior chihuahua mix, and cat, though he shows reactivity to other dogs on walks and would do best in a quieter home with a fenced yard outside the city. Doug is crate trained, working on basic obedience, and is very sweet and affectionate with people and children; he would benefit from continued training to channel his youthful energy.
