About DOLLY aka ESMAY

Dolly, also known as Esmay, is a sweet Lhasa Apso who recently returned to us after two years in a home due to her adopter's illness. At around 9 years old and weighing about 10 lbs, she thrives in calm settings and would likely do best in a home with one other laid-back dog. Dolly prefers to keep to herself but appreciates gentle affection when offered. Due to her age, she has some limitations with her vision and hearing, yet she navigates her surroundings with grace. She's potty trained and will go outside when carried, but lacks the notification skills, so a consistent routine would be beneficial. Dolly has a gentle demeanor, suitable for a quiet household. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and has a well-maintained coat. If you believe you can provide Dolly with the calm and caring home she deserves, please submit an application.
