Dugg

Adopted! Dugg! Happy Tails!

Hi Doodle Fans, it’s me Dugg. Today I get to share the best news ever - I've been adopted!

For a long time, I wasn’t sure this day would come. I have a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia which makes me unsteady on my feet and gives me a signature full-body shake (my foster mom says I just tremble with love). I needed to find the perfect hoomans who would be willing to work around some of the restrictions my condition causes. I can't do things like stairs, pools, and heights so the CDR team knew it would take a really special family to find my match! Thankfully I had an amazing foster mom who helped me get comfortable within my boundaries and learn new methods for working around my shakes. She believed in me, and she saw past my restrictions into the giant doodle heart underneath all my fluff. Thanks to the wonderful work of CDR and my foster mom's commitment, none of the restrictions from my condition got in the way of finding my perfect match.

CDR worked tireless to identify the right adopters and when they found my perfect match, my new family didn't even flinch when hearing about my special case. They saw past the unsteady steps to the steady heart underneath. They saw my gentle soul, my quiet bravery, and my goofy charm. For the first time ever my life, I heard "You belong with us".

Now, I have humans who lift me when I need it, laugh when I play tug with my whole heart, and celebrate every single moment we spend together. I sleep soundly at night, I walk proudly (if a bit wobbly) by their side, and I’ve never felt so loved or understood.

To everyone at CDR and every kind soul who cheered me on - thank you for believing that a differently-abled doodle like me deserved the very best. Cheers to furever! - July 2025 adoption
