About Dottie

Meet Dottie! Dottie is a charming little French Bulldog at around 1 year old and weighing 15 lbs. Despite her tough start in life, her heart overflows with love, and she's eager to begin the next chapter with a caring family. Dottie is deaf and may have some vision impairment, so she needs a patient adopter willing to learn how to communicate with her effectively. Experience with deaf dogs is preferred, as this will help her thrive in a new environment. Currently, she is not house trained, so her new family should be ready to support her in learning this important skill. Dottie is a true sweetheart who loves being around people. She's best suited for a home with children aged 10 and up who are dog-savvy and respectful of her needs. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she would do best with a calm, lower-energy canine companion to avoid overwhelming her. Compatibility with cats is still unknown. Dottie may need some extra understanding and love, but she truly deserves a family who can show her how wonderful life can be. Click apply to start the adoption process.
