Meet Dottie! 🌟 This gorgeous gal, previously known as Dahlia, found her way to the SPCA of East Texas back in 2019. Can you believe that? For years, she was showered with love in her forever home. But life threw a curveball in May 2025, and Dottie was heartlessly returned due to her family's downsizing. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions! 🎢 Dottie is now 6 years young and weighs in at a sturdy 59 lbs. Unfortunately, life in the shelter is just not the cozy, welcoming space she deserves—it’s been hard on her sweet soul. Although she’s housebroken, crate trained, and knows how to strut her stuff on a leash, Dottie can be a tad stubborn—probably from all this upheaval. 🐾 She’s great with children and has played nicely with other dogs in the past, but she’s feeling a bit jumpy and anxious now. New faces make her a little wary, with only a select few staff members earning her trust so far. Dottie isn’t just looking for a roof over her head; she needs a patient soul who can offer her the love and security she craves. 🥰 With your tender care and understanding, this beautiful pointer mix can blossom into the loyal, affectionate sidekick we all know she is meant to be! So, if your heart is whispering to you, please consider giving Dottie a second chance at love and safety. And remember, she’s waiting for YOU to come through! 🏡💖 To bring this lovely lady into your life, apply to adopt her through the Buddy App today!
