Douglas

Are you the type of person who loves a cuddle bug, a snuggle champion, and a mate who’s always by your side? Well, Douglas is that kind of dog. This super-loving loves his people and is not afraid to show you how much he loves you. If you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised when Douglas turns himself into a lap blanket, pressing himself against you for all the affection he can soak up.

Douglas is a big-hearted, friendly soul who is the life of the party, happily saying g’day to everyone who crosses his path. If you’re looking for a dog who’ll shower your friends (and maybe even your neighbour’s friends) with love, Douglas has you covered.

He’s especially wonderful with little ones, showing patience and care around toddlers and young children. A real gentle doggo, he’ll happily sit by their side, soaking up every bit of attention they offer.

When it comes to his doggie mates, Douglas has a particular fondness for the ladies. He’s got a bit of a gentle wrestling routine going with his girlfriends – his favourite being a gal who keeps him on his toes. They’ll rough and tumble until she calls it a day, and then they’re happy just hanging out together. While he’s lived with male dogs before, he does best with slow introductions.

Douglas’ morning snuggles will melt your heart, and you’ll have a good laugh when he presses his face against the window, ears bouncing as he walks by. And when he’s in need of your attention? Well, he’ll serenade you with a little song. He’s quite the character.

Now, we’ve got to be upfront – Douglas does have his quirks. The dishwasher is his arch-nemesis, and he’s not shy about it. Let’s just say, if appliances were plotting world domination, Douglas would be first in line to defend us all—no rinse cycle will catch him off guard!

He’s a sensitive guy with some anxiety, but with patient, chilled guardians, he’ll thrive in a calm, reassuring environment. He’s also a bit of a routine lover – trips to the park, a game of fetch (which is more like a stick-collecting adventure for him), and a cheeky chicken neck are all part of his happy place.

Douglas would be happy to live as a solo doggo soaking up all your attention, or with a compatible canine housemate. He is best suited to a home without cats or pocket pets, as they don’t quite fit into his social circle.

So, if you’re after a loyal companion who’s all about love, snuggles, and a bit of quirky charm, Douglas might just be your new best mate. He's ready to join a home where the people are laid-back, and the love is abundant. Could that be yours?

Douglas is currently soaking up the love in Bayswater, VIC, but he’s more than happy to expand his horizons for the right people. If you’re interstate and feel that Douglas could be your new best mate, he would need to travel by car to keep things as stress-free as possible. We know he’ll be worth the road trip, and he’ll be eager to shower you with plenty of snuggles in his new home.
