About Dolly

Dolly thrives in a soft, cozy environment where she can bond with someone she trusts. This curious little girl loves to explore but is gentler than her bolder brother. Once her adventurous spirit is satisfied, she leans into close cuddles and appreciates a good snack. At two months old and about 9 pounds, Dolly is a Shepherd mix still discovering the world. She enjoys companionship from both people and other dogs, so having a friendly resident dog will help her gain confidence as she grows. Dolly's crate has become her favorite safe haven; she heads inside voluntarily and sleeps through the night without accidents. A calm household with snuggles, attention, and another dog would be ideal for her. Since she’s still working on being alone, she shouldn't be left alone for long periods, preferably no more than three or four hours. A patient adopter can help her slowly build independence. Dolly is available for transport to the Brattleboro, VT area, and most adopters are just a couple of hours away from our meet-up point. If you’re ready to introduce a thoughtful little puppy into your life, Dolly might be the perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
