Dorothy is strikingly beautiful with a unique dark spot on her forehead and long nails, reminiscent of Cardi B.

She shares her foster home with a variety of dogs and thrives in their company, displaying great social skills. She’s also open to making friends with cats, making her a versatile addition to any family. Currently, she’s working on her house training, going outside and using pads, but will need continued support from her new family as she learns.
