About Dahlia—Cincinnati OH

Dalia, also known as Dolly, is a 5-year-old Dalmatian in urgent need of a new home. With her striking white coat adorned with black spots, she captures hearts easily. Dolly is house-trained and leash-trained, showing off her well-behaved nature. She adores children, is playful, and loves to cuddle. Her affectionate spirit makes her a true "velcro dog" who thrives on companionship. Dolly needs a loving home quickly, as her current owner is moving soon and cannot take her along. She would do best in a space without cats or small dogs, as she does not get along with them. While protective around strangers, Dolly warms up once she feels comfortable. Though she can be vocal and is still working on her training, a patient and understanding adopter will help her continue to blossom. If you’re ready to open your heart and provide Dolly the fresh start she needs, don’t wait too long.
