Meet the delightful Dottie! 🌟 At just 8 months old, this sweet hound/boxer mix dazzles with her gorgeous red-chestnut coat and an even more enchanting personality! Currently weighing around 45 lbs, she may be a puppy at heart, but don’t let her playful side fool you—this girl would rather be curled up on your lap than bouncing off the walls! 💖 Dottie’s heartwarming journey began on December 18, 2025, when she was discovered along the Nelsonville 33 Bypass. Luckily, she found her way to a loving foster through Friends of Athens Dog Shelter, and soon after, she graced Dogworks with her irresistible charm. Now, she’s ready to find her forever home! 🏡 This fiercely loyal girl is all about her humans! Dottie follows her people everywhere—she’ll be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your ultimate snuggle powerhouse! On those quieter days when life gets a bit loud or startling, all she needs is a little reassurance from her loved ones to feel calm again. Just a scratch behind the ears and she’s back to feeling like the queen she is! 👑 Dottie would blossom in a home with a fenced yard—standard fencing is just fine since she might be tempted to bolt out an open door in search of adventure (though she really, really wants to stay close to you!). This lovely lady comes crate trained and potty trained, walks like a pro on a leash, and has learned basic commands such as "sit" and "off." With her eagerness to please, training her will be a breeze! 🎓 Good news for dog lovers: she enjoys the company of other dogs, has stellar manners, and even respects their space while they’re eating or sleeping. Dottie has lived alongside cats, although she finds them a tad puzzling at times, and she adores kids of all ages—she might just be the ultimate family pup! 🐾 While she isn’t the most playful snug bug around, her food motivation is off the charts, so keep an eye on her dinner time! Quiet and loving, Dottie would make an amazing companion, especially for someone looking for their first dog. Spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, microchipped, and on preventative care for fleas, ticks, and heartworm—Dottie is ready to be your new best friend! 🤗 Interested in adopting Dottie?
