About Dolly

Dolly is a delightful 5-year-old Miniature Poodle and Goldendoodle mix who's on a journey to find the life she truly deserves. After spending years as a breeding dog in a puppy mill, she's now safe and ready to be cherished as a beloved companion. With a heart full of love, Dolly is gentle and affectionate, and when she feels comfortable, she may surprise you with her playful belly flops, eager for gentle affection. This sweet girl thrives in a tranquil environment. Dolly is looking for an adult-only home without children where she can feel secure and learn to navigate life outside of her past experiences. She needs a calm family who will allow her to adjust at her own pace. Although she can be startled by sudden movements or unfamiliar situations, Dolly has never shown aggression; she's simply a loving girl in need of patience. Dolly gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. Having another friendly dog around can help boost her confidence, though she can also be content being the sole pet. A securely fenced yard is essential for her to feel at ease, as she is not yet comfortable on a leash. Her future family must be gentle in introducing her to a leash and harness without rushing her. On the bright side, Dolly is fully house trained and does well with her potty routine. She will thrive in a peaceful home that understands her needs and allows her to blossom in her own time. Dolly has received all her vaccinations, is spayed, and is ready to find her forever home. If you can offer a supportive, loving environment where she can flourish, Dolly would love to meet you. This could be the start of something paw-some.
