About Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is one of our sweetest little small-breed puppies seeking her forever home. At just 12-13 weeks old and weighing in at only 2.9 pounds, this delicate girl needs special consideration. Given her size, she’s not a good fit for households with young children due to the risk of injury from rough play or even a fall from furniture. However, she can thrive in an active home with older kids who understand how to interact gently with small dogs. These lovable pups, likely a Maltese mix, thrive in a playful environment, so having another small, playful dog would be ideal. Remember, they can live a long time—often 16 to 18 years—so we’re looking for families committed to that journey. Dolly’s past has been rough; she was found on the side of a freeway, and we want to ensure she lands in a safe, stable home. If you have experience with small breeds and can provide a nurturing environment, we’d love to connect with you. Thank you for considering giving Dolly the loving home she deserves.
