About Dottie

Meet Dottie, a sweet deaf Dalmatian around 1 to 2 years old, weighing 45 pounds. This affectionate pup forms strong bonds and loves being by her humans' sides, always eager to make new friends. Dottie thrives in the company of other dogs and would blossom in a home with a canine companion. She's crate trained, potty trained, and highly motivated by treats.
