My story

Doc Holiday came from an elderly owner who lived in a hotel, where he wasn't always kept safely contained. As a result, the transition into foster care took some time. He also needed time for his hormones to settle after being neutered, but once he adjusted, his true personality began to shine. Today, Doc is an absolute sweetheart. He lives happily with multiple dogs, enjoys a good play session, and is just as content curling up beside his favourite person for snuggles. One of his most adorable habits is rolling onto his back and making the funniest little talking noises-it never fails to make everyone smile! Doc does experience some separation anxiety, but it has improved dramatically with consistency and routine. He'll thrive with a patient family who understands that he's already made tremendous progress. If you're looking for a loyal, entertaining, affectionate companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Doc Holiday is ready to steal the show-and your heart. Crate size recommended: 36" Good with adults: Yes Good with kids: Yes, prefers older children Good with other dogs: Yes Good with cats: Yes House trained: Yes, though he may occasionally mark, but it's infrequent. Crate trained: He isn't a fan of the crate, but he is fed in it daily. He can be quite vocal at first when crated but settles down with time. Energy level: Medium Can be handled/touched: Yes, he loves attention and affection Barker: More of a "talker" than a barker! Doc has a funny way of chatting with his people and expressing himself. Flight risk: Yes, he should always be kept securely contained or on a leash Food aggressive: No Current food: Purina One with Blue Buffalo canned food Walks on leash: Yes Leash reactive to people or dogs: None observed, though he hasn't had extensive leash-walking experience Rides well in car: Yes Destructive: No Needs a home with a yard: Preferred Needs a home with another dog: Not required Can live in an apartment: No Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Doc Holiday (20260725-03), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
