Notes from Barkville Dog Rescue
Meet Dooley, a handsome and gentle Lab/Hound/Retriever mix with the sweetest soul. Born, we believe in 2020, this beautiful adult boy is 69 lbs of pure love!
Dooley is the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter. He's a lovable goofball who enjoys rolling around in the grass, relaxing on the deck while soaking up the sunshine, or simply staying close to his favorite people for a few extra pets. He thrives on affection, and once he trusts you, his loyal and loving heart shines through.
This wonderful boy is crate trained, house trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. With his medium energy level, he's just as happy joining you for a stroll through the park as he is spending a quiet evening by your side. He's also a smart pup who learns quickly and is eager to please.
Dooley's story is one that deserves a happy ending. He was surrendered to an overcrowded shelter, along with his smaller canine companion, Tyson, after their owner's life circumstances changed. Confused and frightened, Dooley completely shut down. Thankfully, BarkVille Dog Rescue stepped in just in time. In his foster home, he slowly rediscovered that people can be kind, and watching his confidence grow has been truly heartwarming.
Dooley would love a forever family that will give him the stability, patience, and unconditional love he deserves. He gets along best with smaller, easygoing dogs but would also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only pup.
He's great with kids, though because of his size and happy enthusiasm, a home with older children would be the best fit, as he could accidentally knock over little ones during play.
If you've been searching for a loyal best friend with a gentle heart, an easygoing personality, and so much love to give, Dooley may be the missing piece of your family. A fenced yard where he can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors would make his dream home complete.
Dooley is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. For more information about Dooley, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org. If you would like to adopt this sweet boy, please submit an application for him at www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications.
