About Dottie

Dottie is a young female Puggle mix, with a friendly yet sensitive personality. At about a year old, she's still learning the ropes, especially when it comes to leash skills, but she already knows how to sit and lie down. She has a moderate energy level, enjoying playful interactions when she feels comfortable. Dottie tends to be cautious, particularly around men, but opens up once she warms up to new people. With no known history with dogs, cats, or children, she might be a great fit for a family willing to introduce her gently. Dottie appears house trained but will need to be spayed before she can go home. With a weight of around 35 lbs, she’s a medium-sized companion waiting for the right family to help her shine. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
