About Dottie

Dottie is about 6 years old and has the quirky charm of a wire-haired dachshund mix, weighing in at just 10 lb. Rescued from a hoarding situation, she’s making steady progress on house and crate training, plus getting the hang of leash walks. Dottie gets along with other small dogs and cats, and can join families with children ages 10 and up. Her foster notes Dottie’s playful nature, her eagerness to please, and her strong cuddling skills—she’s happiest curled alongside you at night. She’s smart, picking up routines quickly, and her wiggly nose and mohawk make her hard to resist. Dottie would be thrilled to be adopted with her daughter Dash, but can also blossom as a solo companion. She ships to Massachusetts at no extra cost and will be ready for in-person meets in N Dartmouth on June 19th. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
