Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dottie suffered with severe pneumonia when coming into rescue, she spent nearly a week in an oxygen kennel at the emergency vet. When she turned a corner and started feeling better she showed us just how spunky she is! A young girl, 1-2 years old, and full of energy! She is very interested in what is going on in the world around her, lives to explore and is a great walking or hiking buddy, even with her adorable stubby legs. She's good with other dogs, but we don't know about cats. Dottie is still a whole lot of puppy and is working on some puppy manners when she gets excited, like mouthy playing and jumping up, but our training partner has been working with her. She's crate trained, house trained once she adjusts to her new schedule and ready for her happily ever after! Dottie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines. Dottie is fostered in GA and will be attending our Adoption Event. Save time, fill out an Application to be preapproved to adopt at our event. Preapproved adopters may schedule appointments to meet dogs on Friday, May 17th.
Our pets are in CT, GA and PA foster homes. Dogs in CT are ready to meet you! Dogs in PA may be able to come to CT prior to the event to meet adopters (depends on availability of foster homes). Dogs in GA will arrive right before the event so you must come to the event to meet them. Fill out an online application to start the adoption process.
