About Dotty

Hi I'm Dotty! I am a young, active and playful girl that is known to be a bit of a wrecking ball. I would do best in a home that can help channel my energy into positive outlets. I do well with dogs, though I do best with slow introductions. I have lived with cats but enjoy chasing them and barking at them so a home without cats would be best. I am good with kids and enjoy playing with them.

About Dalmatian Dogs

Dalmatians are striking, athletic dogs instantly recognizable by their unique spotted coats. These energetic, outgoing dogs were originally coach dogs that ran alongside horse-drawn carriages, and they've retained their incredible stamina and love of running. Dalmatians are dignified, smart, and full of personality.

When you adopt a Dalmatian, you're gaining a loyal, active companion who loves to run and play. They're wonderful with older children and thrive in homes where they can get plenty of exercise. Their playful, clownish side makes them entertaining family members who keep life interesting.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Colorado Springs winters bring cold spells and snow, but sunny days often warm quickly at this altitude. The strong UV exposure at 6,035 feet means light-skinned pets may need sun protection even in winter. Garden of the Gods trails are accessible year-round with proper gear.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring weather is unpredictable, with possible snowstorms one day and warm sunshine the next. Carry extra water on hikes as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Palmer Park and North Cheyenne Canyon Park offer beautiful spring hiking as wildflowers emerge.

Summer

55°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Pleasant, dry summers are perfect for mountain trails and outdoor adventures. Watch for afternoon lightning storms and keep pets off exposed ridges during thunderstorms. Carry extra water as the altitude and dry air cause faster dehydration.
