My name is Dot!

Dot is a sweet little lady who was surrendered by a breeder and is learning how to trust humans, experience the joy of being a dog, and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of NYC.  She's making great progress and coming out of her shell. Dot likes when we stroke her head, back and ears, and sometimes presents her belly. She is fine with being picked up and leashed. While her crate or the dog bed is her favorite place, she loves walking outside and also enjoys being taken on errands in her dog carrier so she can stick her head out to see what's happening. She also likes to explore the apartment but runs back to her crate if we get too close. In the park she sniffs the ground and is curious about other dogs -- she will approach them and allows herself to be sniffed without fear. She especially likes the freedom of a long leash in the park. As a docile, quiet dog she is also good with small children. She is very treat motivated in the apartment; outdoors she seems to be on alert and rarely takes a treat.

ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.

Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States and Korea.
