Meet Grandpa Douglas

Grandpa Douglas is an 8 year old hound mix with a gray muzzle and a smile he can't seem to turn off. Don't let the "Grandpa" fool you- he's bright, happy, and full of life. He loves car rides with his head out the window, a good long sniff through tall grass, and butt scratches above all else. He's very vocal about his gratitude and will happily tell you how he's feeling. He came off a euthanasia list at a rural Oklahoma shelter, where the staff fought hard to get this good old man placed before his time ran out. He made fast friends everywhere he went on his first day of freedom, including the crew at a Sonic drive-thru who sent him off with a bacon topped pup cup. Douglas is good with other dogs, friendly with strangers, and great with teens (he hasn't been tested with younger kids). He's crate trained and rides like a champ. This sugar faced senior has waited long enough for his happy ending. He's currently heartworm positive and in foster in Tulsa, OK. Once he's cleared of heartworms, he will be adoptable anywhere in the country. helplesshounds.com/adoption-application
