About Doris

Doris, also called Dee-Dee, is a 3-year-old English Bulldog/Beagle mix currently living in a foster home near New Hope, PA. Weighing about 50 pounds, she gets along well with other dogs, showing no food or toy aggression in her foster setting. Doris will likely need some training if placed with cats, as she has a strong chase instinct for anything moving outdoors. Apartments with small children aren’t the best fit—her new home should have no children under 10. Doris is on the shy side at first, but once she trusts you, she turns into a devoted cuddler who wants to be where you are. She’s quiet in the house, enjoys going for walks in the neighborhood, and occasionally bursts into brief, silly zoomies. Doris prefers walks and companionship over toys, finds car rides enjoyable, and is polite and leash-trained. She would do best in a home with another friendly dog and a fenced yard. Doris is smart but will benefit from ongoing obedience training to help her settle in and build confidence. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
