Dr. Dooley

Hello ladies and gentlemen. It’s Dr. Dooley. I am still waiting on a forever home. My foster family loves me very much, and I love them. It’s just that having my very own forever home and family would be even better. I promise I will not disappoint. I may be an older fellow, but I can keep up well. I love going for long walks with my foster mom and foster pug sister. I can run like a horse. My foster mom says that I literally trot. I am laid back and get along with pretty much everyone – other dogs, little humans, cats, and even rabbits. My foster mom can actually trust me to free roam in the same area as our house rabbits without any problems. I am good at listening, and she once told me that rabbits are not for chasing so I do not bother them. I like to watch them play. I continue to wear a belly band indoors and work on the indoor marking, but I have been going days between wetting my pad. I just needed a consistent walk schedule. I am fully crate trained and will go in my crate when told to. I will often hang out in there when I want to snooze in peace. I am also good about not chewing on anything I should not. You will not have to fear for your furniture, shoes, or other personal items with me. I am perfectly leash trained. I rarely ever pull, and I enjoy walking alongside you or only slightly ahead. My foster mom is doing a good job working with me on not chasing cars or barking at them driving by. I regressed after a trip out of town, but she is getting me back on track. I do enjoy a nice car ride. I travel well. I also learned the command “down.” I remember when I first came to my foster family that I would not even “sit” when told to. Now I’m an expert at “off, sit, leave it and down”. I have done really well with maintaining my weight and am around 23 lbs. If you would like a calm, low maintenance, sweet tempered pug, I am the one for you. Check out SEPRA's website for adoption information. Don’t forget to mark Dr. Dooley on your application.
