Meet Dougie, the resilient one-year-old pup who proves that nothing can hold back a loving heart. After being hit by a car, Dougie had to have his back leg amputated, but he hasn’t let that stop him from embracing life. He’s been recovering beautifully in a foster home, where he’s learning how to navigate the world on three legs with courage and charm.
Why He’s the Ultimate Brave Companion
☀️ Loves snoozing in his dog bed, especially in sunny spots
💤 Enjoys cuddle time and chin rubs with his humans
🏡 House-trained and comfortable being left alone
🐾 Sweet, social, and resilient despite his tough start
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A patient adopter who can help him continue to build confidence
✔️ A home where he can heal and thrive, surrounded by love
✔️ Could do well with a well-matched canine sibling or as a solo pup with dog friends
✔️ Someone who celebrates his three-legged zest for life!
Dougie may have lost a leg, but he hasn’t lost his joyful spirit—or his ability to love with his whole heart. If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion who embodies resilience and sweetness, Dougie is your guy. To follow his foster adventures, check out @adopt.from.oas on Instagram.
