It's been a really long time since Dodger has had a sponsor. And if there's a dog here who truly needs the spotlight, it's him.

Dodger is five years old and fully committed to feeling joy at maximum volume.

He loves people with his whole body, which explains the Happy Tail. When he wags (which is often), nearby walls brace themselves.

He'll need to be the only dog wtih a dog that matches his energy (small, playful females seem to be his cup of tea.

His prey drive is strong (no cats), his leash manners are still a work in progress, and he sometimes forgets he's not a lap-sized greeting committee.

But he doesn't destroy his toys.
He listens.
He takes treats gently.
He tries.

And he wants to be loved more than anything.

While he waits for the right home, it would mean the world if someone could stand in his corner and remind him he's not invisible.

Dodger is a 43-pound, 3-year-old, neutered male pup who has been in our care since November 5th 2025.
