About Dorie

Dorie is a retired breeder looking for a loving, patient family ready to help her transition into a cozy home life. She’s a sweet dog still figuring out what it means to be a companion pet. With no prior experience in a typical household, she’ll need time and consistency to adapt to routines, leash walking, and new experiences. Dorie requires an adult-only home—no children under 15. This isn't due to aggression; she simply hasn’t been exposed to kids, and a calm environment will help her build confidence. A fenced-in yard is highly recommended to keep her safe as she learns the ropes and adjusts to her new life. These requirements are set to ensure Dorie is placed in the perfect home where she can flourish as the wonderful companion we know she has the potential to be. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
