About Dottie

Meet Dottie, a sweet deaf Dalmatian around 1 to 2 years old. This affectionate lady weighs 45 pounds and is a true Velcro pup, always wanting to be close to her people and making friends with everyone she meets. Dottie thrives on companionship and would truly enjoy sharing her home with another dog. She’s crate trained, house trained, and motivated by treats, making her a joy to work with. However, she would flourish best in a home with an experienced Dalmatian owner who can offer clear visual commands and a solid routine. Dottie gets along well with children but due to her deafness, she’s best suited for a household with older kids. A word of caution, though: she has a penchant for chasing cars, so she needs to be leashed and handled with care outdoors. With her loving demeanor and potential to be a devoted companion by your side, Dottie is eager to meet the right family. If you have Dalmatian experience and are ready for a loyal friend, don’t hesitate to get in touch! Adoption fee is $850, which covers all her veterinary care, including being spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and current on preventatives. Out-of-state transport arrangements can be made for her new home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
