About Dottie

Meet Dottie, an endearing deaf Dalmatian around 1 to 2 years old, weighing 45 pounds. This short-coated beauty thrives on companionship and loves staying close to her people. Dottie is a people pleaser, eager to befriend everyone she meets. She enjoys the company of other dogs, making her ideal for a family with a furry companion. Dottie is both crate and potty trained, and she responds well to food incentives. However, she would flourish best in the hands of an experienced Dalmatian owner who can offer her clear visual cues and a stable routine. While she's great with children, we recommend older kids due to her deafness. Her love for life extends to chasing cars, so it’s crucial to always keep her leashed outdoors and supervise her around roads. Dottie's affectionate nature and desire for human interaction make her a wonderful candidate for the right family. If you have Dalmatian expertise and can provide a loving home, Dottie can’t wait to meet you! Dottie is fully vetted—she’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and comes with a health certificate for out-of-state travel. The $850 adoption fee covers all her medical expenses. Transport arrangements are available for out-of-state adopters. Click apply to start the adoption process.
