About Doc

Doc is a sweet and bouncy lady, weighing around 28 pounds, who was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi. Along with her sisters Happy and Sneezy, she’s been starting to adjust to her new life. Though anxious about the world, Doc loves people and has opened up, showcasing her playful side. During her veterinary exam, she was well-behaved, offering gentle tail wags and cuddles to the technician afterward. Doc has a special affinity for other dogs, gaining confidence and comfort when they are around. It’s encouraged that she finds a home with a social and confident adult dog to guide her in discovering the joys of life in New Hampshire. The girls are listed as Schnauzer mixes, though we suspect there may be some Border Collie in the mix. If you’re looking to help a loving little lady, come meet Doc today!
