About Doc
Meet Doc. He is a large hound mix of about 12 months old. This handsome boy is gentle and affectionate. He loves the company of his humans, and despite his size is happy to snuggle up on the sofa with you, or sit with his head in your lap for ear rubs. He loves his pats, and is eager to please. He enjoys romping around the garden with his foster brother, but is also happy to snooze the day away with you inside. He probably has not had a lot of exercise or contact with other dogs in his life, as he can get quite boisterous in play, but is easy to settle with verbal correction. He would love to have a doggy sibling for fun and company, but wouldn’t do well with a highly dominant dog.
Doc has been soaking up training in the short time he has been in foster care. He is mastering sit, waiting for food, back from the table, and is learning to drop. He walks well on the lead, although he can get excited when he sees a rabbit or other dogs. He is great in the car. He can sometimes be a little anxious around new or unexpected things, but ongoing training will continue to build his confidence.
Doc would not do well as a home alone all day dog – he needs the company of another dog, or someone who is home at least part of the day. He is untested around cats, farm animals or children. Given his size he probably wouldn’t suite a home with small children. He rarely barks.
He was an outside only dog, but in foster he is inside/outside, and sleeps happily inside on a dog bed and has had no accidents.
Doc really is a fabulous dog who will make someone a wonderful companion.
