Dottie was severely neglected. She was locked in a small (too small for her) crate 24/7. Her legs were starting to be deformed.he’s perfect now. She was severely underweight and her coat was full of fleas. She was anemic and tested positive for Lyme's. With love and lots of TLC, Dottie is fit as a fiddle now. Dottie has completed her antibiotic treatment for Lymes, gained some weight and she runs and plays and just happy as a puppy should be! Shy on first meeting, she warms up and a sweeter dog you couldn’t ask for. Her coat is now so shiny, sunglasses are advised! Dottie is good with people,other dogs and cats too. Dottie is about 9-10 months old and 41 pounds. ***You must provide a vet reference for a current or past pet you have/had.*** We do NOT ship our animals.
