Dozer - Terrier Dog for Adoption

Meet Dozer!

Looking for a loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and professional cuddle expert? Meet Dozer!

At just 9 weeks old and 15 lbs, this handsome boy is expected to grow into a medium-to-large dog (40-70 lbs, best guess). What we do know is that he'll grow into an amazing companion.

Dozer and his siblings had a difficult start to life. Rescued from neglect at only 4 weeks old, they arrived in foster care sick, underweight, and unsure of the world around them. Since then, Dozer has blossomed into a happy, healthy puppy who's learning that people are kind and life is full of possibilities.

This brave little explorer is the adventurer of the litter. He's curious, confident, and determined to be wherever his people are. If there's a gate, he'll figure out how to climb it. If there's something new to investigate, he'll be first in line. His foster family lovingly describes him as a creator of "benevolent chaos."

When he's not busy conquering the world, Dozer loves: Playing with other dogs
Chewing on toys and sticks
Squeaky toys
Rolling around on a skateboard
Couch snuggles

Dozer is incredibly smart, nearly litter trained, and highly motivated by treats and praise. He'll thrive with an active family committed to training, enrichment, and including him in life's adventures.

Like any puppy, he's currently working through teething, puppy mouthiness, and learning good manners. He has shown some resource guarding around high-value chews, so continued positive training will be important. The good news? He loves people and is eager to learn.

Dozer would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog, though he'd also do well with someone who is home much of the day and can provide plenty of socialization and companionship.

Age-appropriate vaccines started
Adoption fee: $425

Dozer has already overcome so much. Now all he needs is a family to love him forever. Could that be you?
