Meet Darling Doug! 

Doug, a hairy hairless Chinese Crested, unique and rare,
With his fluffy tufts and skin so bare.
Though he may seem unconventional, it's plain to see,
He's the perfect pup for you and me! 

At fourteen years old, he's a senior dog through and through,
But age hasn't dimmed his spirit, it's still anew.
His silly zoomies and tail-chasing will steal your heart,
And from the very beginning, you'll never want to part.

Though deaf, little Doug is full of good cheer, 
His other senses make up for his inability to hear. 
With a sideways gait and bunny ears so sweet,
He's the cutest pup you'll ever meet!

Doug recently lost his beloved human mom and dad,
Who cherished him dearly, the only people he had.
Before being fostered, he was scared, sad, and alone, 
Now he’s blossoming and looking for a family of his own. 

Having separation anxiety, he may bark and fuss,
But as he learns to self-soothe, he'll gain more trust.
The companionship of another dog would help him grow, 
Confidence and calmness, his buddy would show. 

He gets along with other pets, including felines,
Doug is a solid eater, on kibble and wet food he dines.
Living with incontinence, a challenge he faces,
A belly band would help him with inside spaces.

Though he struggles with stairs, they're quite a chore,
But with a helping hand, he'll manage to explore.
Grooming and skincare will ensure his naked body glows, 
And to keep him warm, he prefers to wear clothes.

Doug is an affectionate pup, oh so snug,
He’s twelve pounds of love, a real cuddle bug.
He dreams of bedtime snoozing, right by your side,
In his favorite fluffy bed, he'll happily abide.

So if you're ready for a loyal friend, no lie,
Darling Doug will be your best senior guy!

(Yes, Doug has a very creative foster mom!) Doug needs a home where he is not alone much and has the company of another small gentle dog to give him confidence. He needs a forever home that understands deaf dogs and will give him a peaceful, quiet home to live out his senior years. He is a very special little man!

(Doug is being fostered in Western PA)
