About Dolly

Dolly is a serene and affectionate lady who simply wants to be by your side. She adores chin scratches and has a way of gazing adoringly at you. This charming dog enjoys following you from room to room, often curled up next to you or at your feet. While she’s a bit of a couch potato at heart, Dolly is always eager for walks and happily keeps pace with her pack. She hasn’t shown much interest in toys or playing with the other resident dog, but that may shift as she continues to settle in. Dolly is exceptionally tolerant, even with more energetic companions, and doesn’t react when my dog barks. Although I haven’t observed her with children, her calm demeanor suggests she would do well with older kids who offer gentle affection. Dolly is crate-trained and responds well to commands like "come," "sit," and "go/out." The phrase "good girl" really makes her light up. She does sometimes pull on the leash, especially when she spots another dog, so she could benefit from some leash training. If you’re looking for a dog to cuddle on the couch while you enjoy some downtime, Dolly might just be your perfect match! Ready to make Dolly part of your family? Apply now!
