About Dolly

Meet Dolly, an adorable Australian Cattle Dog and loving momma to a litter of heeler mixes found in Louisiana. At three years old, she embodies warmth and peacefulness, showcasing her sweet nature and desire for affection, attention, and a good meal. Dolly has the softest coat one might expect from a short-haired breed, and she hardly sheds at all. Dolly is quite the charming character. She enjoys exploring her surroundings, though she's still mastering leash training and can be a bit anxious about navigating stairs. While she does get along with cats, she’s a bit curious and might browse the counter for treats, as she is very food motivated! Notably quiet and non-destructive, she's generally relaxed and friendly. While she does adore her crate, she prefers not to be locked inside. Dolly is fostered in Richmond, VA, and is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped, with heartworm treatment covered by the rescue. With an adoption fee of $375, Dolly is ready to bring joy to her forever home. Remember, adopting her means committing to ongoing training and socialization for a happy life together.
