Dottie is officially turning one year old this month, and her biggest birthday wish is a patient heart and a playful pup in her forever home. At around 30 lbs, Dottie is the perfect "medium" size for adventures big and small. She is a sensitive soul who finds the big, loud world a little overwhelming at times, but her true personality shines brightest when she's around other dogs and someone she trusts. Dottie requires a home with an established, confident, and playful dog sibling. She has a lot of puppy energy and loves to roughhouse; having a canine mentor will help her find her courage and gives her something to watch and follow. She still needs to learn how to be a confident girl! She is fully potty trained and goes in her kennel when told. She sleeps in her kennel and stays in there when we are gone. She does well on walks and is learning to be great on a leash. Shs has been trusted off leash before with a dependable, confident dog she trusts to follow. She is highly food motivated, which is the fastest way to win her trust and to teach her expectations. She'll take treats gently from most people but enjoys being pet/ scratched only once she knows you're safe. Dottie would be best in a "low-pressure" home. She needs a family that understands she won't be a lap-dog on day one or even day one hundred. She needs plenty of time to decompress and an understanding environment where she can learn alongside her dog sibling that new things aren't so scary..
