Save One Soul Animal Rescue League

Doug sure does love to play ball! Do you like playing fetch with a dog? Well Dougie boy might be the one for you! He will play fetch all day long if he could. He is house trained and crate trained as well (yes, it’s true!) Fill up a puzzle game with goodies and he’ll be busy for a while too. He is one smart cookie. He loves to be pet, go for a walk and snuggle up under a warm blanket with you. He is a 4 year old Boston terrier mix and around 23lbs. We think he would do okay with another calm and respectful playmate too. His foster mom is working hard to get him adjusted to kitties but he would do best in a home without any cat friends. Head over to Sosarl.org to fill out an application today! Click the link for more info -http://bit.ly/3aEicZG
