About Dolly

Dolly came to the shelter as a stray in April and received treatment for demodex. Her fur has fully grown back, and she’s ready to find her new home! Playful and energetic, Dolly loves treats and is very motivated by them. Initially, she was dog-friendly, but after displaying signs of kennel stress, she became selective about her dog interactions. Thankfully, after being moved to a quieter area of the shelter, she has improved a lot and is gaining weight back while becoming comfortable with dogs again. It’s wonderful to see her making progress! Dolly is not suitable for homes with cats. At approximately 1 year old and weighing about 42 lbs, she has a medium-length coat. This sweet girl is bursting with potential and is ready for a loving home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
