Meet Doocy — Your New Best Friend in the Making!
Personality: Playful, loving, energetic. A true low-rider type with his big body and short legs.

Doocy isn’t just any puppy — he’s a survivor with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit that lights up every room. After being rescued from a high‑kill shelter on his final day, he has embraced his second chance at life with all the joy and enthusiasm a puppy can offer.

He’s a special little guy with a big personality. Doocy is full of puppy energy, love, and endless kisses. Whether he’s bouncing around with excitement or curling up for affection, he makes every moment feel brighter.

Doocy Loves Toys, toys, toys! If it squeaks, bounces, or can be carried around proudly, Doocy is all in.

Playtime with foster siblings. He adores other dogs and loves romping around with his foster brothers and sisters.

People. Doocy is a lovebug who thrives on attention, cuddles, and being part of the action.

Doocy is using a dog door and keeps his kennel room clean. He will need help learning about going to the door because now he lets himself out.

Puppies under 6 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday or by your veterinarian's recommendation, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
