About Dorothy

Dorothy is a sweet senior lady eagerly waiting for her forever home. After being surrendered to a kill shelter in Houston, TX, she was rescued by a Good Samaritan. Although her brother found a home quickly, Dorothy has patiently waited for a few years to find her perfect match. This lovely Beagle mix adores people and craves attention. She enjoys lounging outside, soaking up the sun, and simply relaxing. While she gets along with many dogs, she can be selective and has some resource guarding with food. Therefore, a home without other dogs would be ideal, but proper introductions can work if there are existing pets. Dorothy would thrive in a quiet home, perhaps with an older adult, as she likes to be the center of attention without the hustle and bustle of young children or spirited pups. Currently in Houston, TX, transportation can be arranged for her adoption. A portion of her fee helps cover those costs. Ready to make a difference for Dorothy?
