Meet Dottie — a gentle, sensitive young girl around 1–2 years old who is looking for a calm, understanding forever home where she can truly blossom. Dottie can be shy and may bark out of fear when meeting new people, but underneath that initial worry is a sweet, intelligent, and deeply affectionate dog who just needs time and patience to feel safe. She has formed her strongest bonds with female staff members and would do best in a female-only home or with a female adopter who can continue to build her confidence at her pace. Once Dottie trusts you, her personality shines through — she turns into a big, wiggly puppy full of joy, complete with a happy little nub tail that never stops going! She loves to play with other dogs and enjoys their companionship, making canine friends an important part of her world. Dottie is smart and already learning basic commands, showing great potential as she continues to grow in confidence. Because she can be overwhelmed by busy environments, she needs a quiet, low-traffic home with minimal visitors and no children, where she can feel secure and not overstimulated. With patience, consistency, and a calm environment, Dottie will reward her person with a bond that’s truly special!
