Dougie, terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Dougie is a handsome male terrier and pit bull terrier mix being kept at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Dougie enjoys socializing with other dogs. He has already mastered his house-training etiquette, has had all of his shots and is neutered.
Meet Dougie:
Three-year-old Dougie brings such joy. He loves, loves, loves to play — with us, with toys and with other dogs. His favorite game is tug-of-war, and he occasionally forgets to focus on his toys and will bite a pillow, or shoe or his bed. Luckily, he is very quickly catching on to commands. Dougie will do anything for a treat (which he takes so gently), and he is a fast and motivated learner. Bonus: He has the cutest head tilt ever when he senses a treat is coming. Although he is a big boy at 70 pounds, he knows in his heart he is a lap dog, and loves cuddles and snuggles with his people (including his young people). If a gentle, energetic, sweet, goofy, loving, playful and hilarious companion is who you are looking for, apply to meet Dougie!

Notes from Ralph's caretakers:
Ralph is a heart-stealing, soul-soothing, gentle boy. He has some injuries, scarring and hair loss. But, he's healing, both physically and mentally. He's so gentle and the sweetest soul. He's a little guy, weighing only 25 pounds. And, if you talk baby talk to him, he smiles the goofiest doggy grin!
