Meet Dolly! Born around February of 2023, this calm and gentle girl is fully grown and healthy at 60 pounds.
Dolly was initially saved by a local shelter. She was found surviving on her own in field, was emaciated, and was distrusting of humans. She had such anxiety that she needed to be placed in a foster home right away to ensure her survival. We were happy that one of our volunteers had space for her.
Dolly is a great girl and has made wonderful strides. Under gentle dedication from her foster family, she is no longer a lonely, hungry, frightened street dog. She now relishes indoor living, loves seeing her people and getting attention from them, and her coat is coming back beautifully.
She can be shy with new people, especially men. She avoids people she doesn’t know, so she may take a little time to get used to her forever family. With their loving, patient care, she will become relaxed and comfortable just has she has in her foster home.
Sweet Dolly thrives in the company of people and dogs. She should never be left home alone without people or other dogs, because she becomes very anxious and will cause herself health issues.
She loves having large playful doggy companions. She just needs a little time to learn to trust them, then she loves romping and playing with them outside and lounging with them inside. She has done well when being introduced to new dogs and has gone to dog parks without issues.
Dolly is house trained and does very well waiting to go outside. She comes inside relatively quickly when called, especially when she can see other dogs listening and going in.
She is leash trained and loves going for walks. Since leash walking is relatively new to her, she pulls on the leash sometimes, but she is quickly learning and improving.
She has been on a few car rides and has done well.
Dolly is not crate trained and should not be confined in one. She will hurt herself trying to escape it.
She has a low amount of energy; she will play some but for the most part enjoys lounging around in the home or backyard.
When outside, she will bark some at strangers or loud noises.
