About this Dog
A5707525 Say hello to Dug , a 3-year-old German Shepherd with a sleek, velvety black coat and alert, expressive ears that never miss a thing. He’s a striking boy who stands out from the crowd, not just for his rare coloring but for the gentle soul hiding beneath his fear. Dug came in with another dog, Saoirse, possibly his sibling, and has had some difficulty adjusting. The shelter environment has left him a bit scared and shut down - but don’t let his nervous kennel demeanor fool you. Outside of the chaos, Dug shows glimpses of the sweet, affectionate dog he’s longing to be, even leaning in for comfort during a quiet moment with a volunteer. He needs a kind, patient adopter or foster willing to go slow, offer reassurance, and help him rebuild his confidence. If you're ready to invest in trust and love, Dug will reward you with unwavering loyalty and the joy of watching him become his truest, happiest self. -3 year old black German Shepherd -80 pound neutered male -may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before you can take him home, but the shelter can likely help with this! -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 6/18/25 as a stray -plush, velvety black pup with perky ears always at attention - very striking and handsome, with a unique pure black look that really sets him apart from his breed's classic colorway -came in with another dog, Saoirse A5707524 , who could be a sibling -very scared, nervous, and wary in the shelter environment - but don't let the wall he puts up in the kennel turn you off! -at the shelter, Dug may come across as too freaked out to do much of anything, but even in the short time he spent with a volunteer, his true nature began to peek out -despite his fear, he was easy to leash and take in and out of the kennel, and when given the time to decompress, he got close to his handler and leaned in for comfort and affection - when given the time and space to shake off his fear and build his trust and confidence, Dug warms up beautifully -needs a kind and patient adopter or foster willing to take the time to go slow, be gentle, and take the time to foster trust and goodwill -Dug may need a little extra finesse and some more work than other pups at the shelter, but you'll be richly rewarded with watching him open up and relax into who he's always been meant to be, and he'll give you all his love and loyalty in return DUG’S VIDEO: https://youtu.be/HlLAFlm2rp0 For more information, contact volunteer Lisa at [email protected] Photo Credit @Bea Look up this or other animals at Baldwin Park Animal Care Center https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/view-our-animals/ Use their unique ID NUMBER.

Adopt DUG and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, DUG's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is DUG's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the DUG, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming DUG's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and DUG was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, DUG’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the DUG’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, DUG’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
