…but you blinked. 😆

Doug says he was this close to nailing the look! (It’s ok, Doug, we took a second photo for you!)

Meet Doug, a 2 yr old American Bulldog. Doug loves to play, chase toys, and soak up affection from the people he trusts. Beneath that thoughtful expression is a loyal, gentle pup who just wants to belong.

Doug is AMAZING with kids. His foster says he is extremely tolerant and incredibly patient. He’s also very loving with their dogs and even their cat. He does have trouble letting you know when he needs to go potty, but with a little guidance he does really well. And yes… he occasionally thinks dog toys are snacks 😅 but he’s truly a sweetheart.

Doug is ready to find his forever home where he can relax, be silly, feel safe, and finally know what it means to be loved.

Meet Ellis! Ellis is a 4-year-old cat with a big p Meet Ellis! Ellis is a 4-year-old cat with a big personality hidden under a gentle, thoughtful exterior. She has a thyroid condition, but she takes her medication really well, so it’s easy to manage. Her eyesight isn’t perfect, and she can be easily startled, but with patience and understanding, she shows her playful, affectionate, and charming side.

In her foster home, Ellis has been learning to trust and is discovering the joy of cuddles, curiosity, and her favorite cozy spots. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and continue to blossom.

💛 Apply to adopt Ellis today at hsdayton.org/adopt/cats
