About Dottie

Meet Dottie, a sweet deaf Dalmatian around 1 to 2 years old, weighing 45 pounds. She's a true Velcro pup, relishing being close to her people and making friends wherever she goes. Dottie enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion. She's been crate trained and is potty trained, showing great motivation with food and treats. An experienced Dalmatian owner will best suit her needs, offering clear visual guidance and a consistent routine. Dottie is great with children, though due to her deafness, she would do better in a household with older kids. Caution is advised when Dottie is outdoors, as she tends to chase cars. Always keep her on a leash and handle her carefully around roads. With her affectionate nature and eagerness to connect with both people and dogs, Dottie has so much to bring to the right family. If you have experience with Dalmatians and are looking for a devoted companion, Dottie would love to meet you! The adoption fee is $850, which covers all veterinary care, including a health certificate for out-of-state travel. Transport arrangements can be made to bring her closer to you.
