About Dolly

Dolly is about 3 years old and has a gentle spirit that shines through once she feels safe. This spayed female Italian Greyhound came to us because of bullying from larger dogs in her previous home. She may be a bit shy initially and feels cautious around big dogs, but she quickly warms up to friendly small dogs. Dolly seems to be housetrained, though she doesn't yet know how to walk on a leash, so she will need a secure fenced yard for her safety. Dolly loves her cozy sweater, especially on chilly nights, and has been vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative. This sweet girl would thrive in a quiet home where she can feel secure and receive the love she deserves. If you're ready to give this nervous little girl a home, reach out for an application!
