About Dolly

Meet Dolly (Parton) — her sweet eyes are tough to resist. At just 3 months old, Dolly is a striking little girl with a dark, glossy coat, hints of warm brown, adorable white-tipped toes, and large brown eyes that can melt hearts. Named after the legendary Dolly Parton, she may not have the big hair, but her looks certainly shine. Dolly is one of six puppies found in a parking lot in Saltillo, Mexico, alongside her loving mama, Paulina, who is also up for adoption. After facing a difficult start, Paulina hid all her puppies beneath a structure to keep them safe from harm. Thankfully, our founder discovered them, and soon Dolly and her family were brought to safety. Now, Dolly is ready to focus on the joys of puppyhood, like playful exploration and learning about the world. She needs training, socialization, and loads of love. With her kind nature, Dolly gets along well with dogs and children, adapting easily to her new surroundings. The only thing missing is a forever home where she can grow up happily. Let’s ensure Dolly’s challenging start is just a small chapter in a long, happy life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
