About Dolly

Dolly is currently in heat and cannot be adopted until her cycle is complete, but she’s available to meet and interact with potential adopters. This 2-year-old female German Shorthair Pointer is eager to find her forever home. Dolly has had a challenging past; she was found wandering near Cedar Bluff and was temporarily taken in by a caring stranger. It’s possible she was once someone’s hunting dog before ending up lost or abandoned. Although her history is unclear, she has mingled well with other dogs and is good around kids. However, she might chase cats, so a meet-and-greet with any resident pets is a smart idea. With a playful spirit, Dolly treats play like a job and has a lot of energy to spare. She needs an active family that can keep her engaged. While she has received her first vaccinations, keep in mind she may not be housebroken due to her previous living conditions.
