About Dotty

Meet Dotty! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home. She was born on May 10th, 2025, and sadly, she was surrendered due to circumstances beyond her control. Dotty is a playful and affectionate dog, and she gets along well with other dogs and children. Her adoption fee is $500, which reflects the extra costs of her transport from Texas to Delaware. This fee not only helps cover spay/neuter services and core vaccinations, but it also ensures Dotty gets the care she needs while in rescue. When adopting, you’ll also receive a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospitals. Considering her mix of Dalmatian and Great Pyrenees, Dotty embodies a loving and friendly spirit. While she isn't fully house trained yet, her outgoing personality makes her a joy to be around. Take a chance on Dotty—she’s ready to fill your life with love and laughter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
