Overview

Dottie is a beautiful, long hair piebald. She weighs 16 pounds and is approximately five years old. She came to us from a hoarding situation. She is friendly and likes people and dogs. Because she probably spent a lot of time outside, she has no problem walking right out an open door; therefore she is considered an extreme flight risk. She must have a secure, fenced yard. 

 

Health

Dottie recently tested positive for heartworms.  Poor girl.  We are just about to start her treatment.  If her adopter has a calm and quiet home, she can be moved during treatment. Strict crate rest is required for at least 2 months and Little Paws will pay for the cost of treatment.

 

Environment

Dottie is good with dogs and people. She has not yet been tested on a leash as she is a flight risk. Dottie is ok in an ex pen but prefers to snuggle with a human. She is not very vocal. Dottie was in a very bad hoarding situation and needs a comfortable place to decompress and relax. She will need an adopter willing to work on potty training her. 

 

Pets & People

Dottie is friendly with adults and dogs. She is indifferent to the cats in her foster home. She has not been tested with children.
