In the shelter’s words

Meet Dug! This 1-year-old, 50lb Labrador/Bully mix is a handsome, bouncy boy with striking two-toned eyes and the softest, thick fur. Dug still has a lot of puppy in him, but he’s the sweetest soul who lives to please. Dug expresses pure joy every time you return, making you feel like the most important person in the world! He's energetic and loves playtime—especially wrestling, chasing, and tug-of-war. He gives the best play bows and is also happy entertaining himself with stuffed toys and bones. This loving boy gets nervous in new places and needs a patient family to help him discover the world isn't so scary. A confident resident dog could be a wonderful mentor, as Dug loves canine companionship (and snuggling!). He’s learning not to be mouthy or jumpy during play, and he’s improving every day. Dug’s favorite activities include sunbathing, mealtime, and training. While he's learning to settle in his crate, he'd prefer to be part of the action. He also loves to sit on laps for kisses! If you’re looking for a loving companion to help build confidence and share endless joyful moments with, Dug is your guy. Come meet this beautiful, goofy boy! Dug is from a local impound.
