About Dottie

Dottie is a classic Velcro dog and is happiest right by your side. She thrives on human companionship and has done especially well with kids of all ages, often cuddling up and showing a gentle touch when taking treats. Dottie is house trained and enjoys car rides but has no patience for being kenneled. She cannot wear anything around her neck but walks beautifully on a harness. Dottie’s ideal home is one without other pets; she’s shown prey drive toward chickens, ducks, and has displayed predatory instincts around other dogs and cats, so she should be the only animal both indoors and outside. She’s smart, attentive, and quick to learn new commands like sit, lay, and shake. For someone without other animals looking for a loyal, constant companion, Dottie will be a perfect fit.
