About Dove

Dove is one of those rare dogs with an irresistible spirit. A mix of pointer, lab, and Dalmatian, she’s about 2-3 years old and carries herself with a sense of calm that instantly makes people feel at ease. Even with only three legs, Dove keeps up just fine and is just as content curled up on the porch as she is soaking up the sun outside. Her harlequin coat and soulful eyes draw people in, and she returns every bit of attention with a happy tail and gentle presence. Dove is a true people dog who thrives on connection and affection. She loves children and gets along well with other dogs and cats. Her affectionate nature comes through in her eagerness to greet anyone entering the room. She’s not yet house trained, but she’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Adopters will need a safe, secure backyard—no electric or Fido fences, as she needs the physical security and the assurance that no one (or nothing) can slip in or out. Her adoption fee covers all age-appropriate care, including preventative treatments. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
