Meet Dottie – 3–4 Year Old Dalmatian | Looking for Her Forever Family
Dottie Pardon is a joyful, affectionate girl with a big heart and an even bigger desire to be loved. She’s eager to please, knows how to sit, and happily soaks up every bit of attention you offer. Medium-energy by nature, she’d love a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and making a dog feel like part of the team.
Dottie’s story is one of true survival. She arrived at a shelter in NE Texas severely emaciated and unclaimed, and was scheduled for euthanasia along with 30 other dogs. Thanks to a compassionate vet tech who stepped in, her life was saved — and now she’s thriving in foster care.
In her foster home, Dottie lived peacefully in the home office with her work-from-home foster mom, happy to nap nearby or simply enjoy companionship throughout the day. She does need a home without cats or small dogs, as she has a noticeable prey drive — but she may do well with a similar-sized or larger, calm dog with slow introductions.
Dottie’s Ideal Home • No cats or small dogs • Active or moderately active family • Someone who enjoys a snuggly, people-oriented companion • Work-from-home or someone who wants a shadow dog? – She’d love it!
Dottie is ready for a life where she is cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who survived the odds and still loves with her whole heart — Dottie is waiting.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
