About Dorothy Rags Hospicesanctuary

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Introducing the one and only Dorothy Rags, a truly unique Miniature Poodle who is 12 years young and weighs about 8 pounds. Dorothy adores children, dogs, cats, and really any living creature she meets—her loving and gentle spirit is unmatched. With only a single tooth left, she enjoys her soft meals with gusto and demonstrates real zest for life despite her age. Mobility isn't her strong suit, and while she's working on consistently making it to her wee-wee pad, it's still a bit of a journey in progress. A recent x-ray revealed a small spot on her back leg that, due to her senior status, isn't treatable, but this doesn't slow her down from wanting to enjoy every day to the fullest. Dorothy Rags deserves a family who will cherish her for who she is and embrace her golden years with warmth and affection. Fun fact: with a birthday of July 1, Dorothy is a Cancer, known for heartwarming loyalty and a nurturing personality—traits she certainly embodies! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
