Notes: Doobie was found in a trailer, abandoned by the owner, with his brother Ace, and 2 other dogs. Doobie is a quiet but friendly boy, one to two years old, who likes people and gets along well with most dogs, but should meet any potential housemate. He is mostly house trained and walks well on leash and weighs in at about 60-65 pounds. He loves to explore his surroundings, especially with his nose , and loves his treats. Doobie would love a forever home with a big fenced yard so he can run, maybe with some older kids, and spend lots of time with his family so he can enjoy both treats and belly rubs.
