Age: 8 years Weight: 25lbs Though she looks like Snoopy’s cousin once removed, this sweet girl comes from somewhere over the rainbow. Meet Dorothy, an approximately 8-year-old Beagle mix weighing about 25 pounds, who’s bravely adjusting to city life after coming from Texas. Dorothy is a total homebody who thrives on comfort and routine. Her favorite activities include making cozy little nests out of blankets (on the couch or in her crate), soaking up affection, and politely greeting the world around her. She’s incredibly food-motivated, which has made training a breeze (she responds to her name and "come" and is learning "place" (for her crate). And she’s already shown how smart she is—she knows exactly where “home” is and happily bounds up the stairs straight to the front door. She lets you know when she needs to go out; you can tell by a sudden onset of restlessness. So far, she's the perfect apartment dog and hasn't made a peep! She walks nicely on a leash and does best with a sturdy one and a front-pull harness. Dorothy enjoys relaxed strolls through Riverside Park, taking her time to smell all the smells and gently booping friendly strangers who stop to say hello. Her inner Beagle comes out when she spots a squirrel or pigeon—she never chases, but she certainly likes to observe! We're taking it easy with her as she is midway through heartworm treatment, but she doesn't seem to mind; she's just a very chill companion. This gentle lady has a silly side, too. She loves rolling over for belly rubs, wiggling her way onto your lap, and being admired by passersby. She’s done wonderfully meeting neighbors and strangers alike and is especially sweet with kids ages 8 and up, offering a polite sniff and a gentle boop in greeting. Dorothy is fantastic in her crate, happily shuffling around until her nest is just right before settling in. She sleeps through the night and greets mornings with soft kisses and a wagging tail. Kind, gentle, and still delightfully spry, Dorothy is ready for a calm, consistent home where she can finally put down roots and make her permanent nest. **Dorothy previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before leaving Texas** INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
