About Doralee

Meet Doralee! This beautiful little mama is finally ready for HER turn to be spoiled. She has quite the story; found as a stray, she was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic where no one came to look for her. Excited to rescue her, we soon discovered Doralee was pregnant. Just three weeks later, on September 26th, she gave birth to three big, beautiful puppies. Now that they are thriving and she has finished nursing, it’s time for this sweet girl to find a forever home. Doralee is estimated to be only a year and a half old and has been DNA tested, revealing a lovely 50/50 mix of Cocker Spaniel and Miniature Australian Shepherd. Weighing in at around 20 pounds, she has been fully vaccinated, dewormed, and started on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. She will be spayed once she is completely ready. Her personality shines bright; Doralee is incredibly loving, seeks close company with her humans, and is an expert snuggler. She is completely housebroken and displays one of the sweetest temperaments ever! This little athlete can even leap a four-foot baby gate with ease. Active and playful, she also adores exploring her foster’s securely fenced backyard. Doralee is great with small children—there's even a four-year-old in her foster home!—gets along beautifully with other dogs, and is even cat-friendly. After all she’s been through, Doralee deserves to be someone's spoiled princess. She is currently in a loving foster home in Memphis, Tennessee, and we would absolutely LOVE to find her a forever family who will adore her as much as we do!
