Meet Dougie
Breed: Goldendoodle
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Dougie has the most infectious personality and makes people smile everywhere he goes.Because of his unique look, he often gets stopped for pats and cuddles making people happy without even trying.Dougie loves his treats and supporting local businesses by tasting, using and buying NZ made products! He enjoys posing for a good photo because said treats are usually involved in the process! When Dougie is older and a little calmer we want him to learn to be a companion dog so he can do more good in our West Auckland community! Until then, he is becoming known on Instagram for his cheeky antics and funny character traits… and his hairstyles which are unruly and have a mind of their own! He has a big heart and is a floofy ball of aroha!!
