About Dottie

Fostered in Tallahassee, Florida, meet Dottie, a beautiful Merle Great Dane who’s all about love and relaxation. Rescued from the dirt roads of rural North Florida, she came to us in rough shape, but after three months of care, her coat is now soft and majestic. Dottie has a laid-back personality and adores humans, couches, stuffies, and treats. She walks well on a leash and has smoothly integrated with her foster home, happily sharing space with a male Dane, a male Pittie mix, and two cats. This great girl also enjoys greeting older children during her outings in the park. Looking for a big-footed companion who's chill yet playful? Dottie is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Though she tested heartworm positive, she's been treated and is ready for a forever home. Her adoption fee is waived, but note that picking her up in person is necessary. Start your journey together with Dottie today!
