About Dorothy

Dorothy has an adorable morning ritual that shows just how affectionate she is. Right after she leaves her crate, she always heads straight for her person, playfully walking between their legs. This quirky little act starts her day with a sense of togetherness, yet she’s perfectly fine being independent without needing to be attached at the hip. At two years old and around 40 pounds, Dorothy embodies the lively spirit of a young Lab while also having an off-switch that allows her to enjoy quiet moments. She loves to romp outside with the other dogs in her foster home, but once playtime wraps up, she finds her favorite quiet spot under the dining table for some downtime. Ideally, she enjoys canine company but can also thrive as the only dog. Dorothy is well-mannered, patiently waiting to be leashed before leaving her crate, making her a great fit for busy households. Perfect for families, couples, or single adults seeking a playful yet calm companion, she is ready to find her forever home with Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue. Transport to Northern New Jersey (Bayonne/NYC Metro area) is available for interested adopters throughout New Jersey and the greater New York area, including Long Island. Pickup logistics are arranged during the adoption process. Ready to adopt Dorothy? The fastest way is to apply directly online through her listing.
