About Dorothy

Dorothy thrives in calm environments and would do best with older kids, as younger ones might overwhelm her. She enjoys the company of other dogs and seems to get along well with cats too. While she is crate trained and reliably goes potty outside, she will need some guidance as she adjusts to new routines in her forever home. At 18 lbs, Dorothy is a healthy weight, albeit a bit thick. She's spayed, microchipped, and has an up-to-date vaccination record, making her all set for her next adventure. Ready to meet this sweet companion? Apply to adopt Dorothy today!
