Hi I am Doug.  I was rescued from a bad situation by a nice family recently.  But their kids stressed me out.  You see, I am blind and they were too unpredictable.  I do not like to brag, but my foster mom says I am super intelligent and a marvel to watch.  She says I walk well on a leash, I am housetrained, and crate trained.  I enjoy walks and hikes, but I like to balance that with much food and naps with my foster mom.  She calls me "cuddle doug" because I love to cuddle.   She says I am loyal and a velcro dog.  Hey, I just like to be where she is and help her with everything. I do not know how she got anything done before I came to help her.   I came to her knowing few commands but she says I am learning very fast.  I do not like more than one or two stairs but I like car rides and jump in and out of her car no problem.    I like to chase cats and squirrels.   She says being middle aged, I have moderate exercise needs.  I get excited when she gets home from work but I settle down quickly.  I tolerate other dogs but I prefer human company.  She says I do not need your pity, I do amazingly well for myself.  I just need someone with either GSD experience or obedience experience and desire to learn more to work with me on obedience and make modifications for my blindness.  She says I am so smart that if she does not take the lead, I set the agenda.  But it just takes a firm command to bring me in line.
