Story
Ready to take on the world!
Born on 8/22/26, Dolly (as in Dolly Parton) is a charming Border Collie mix with soft white fur, black splotches, and adorable black toe beans. She is a chunky four pounds, and her foster jokes she might be part bear. Dolly and her brother Kenny (Rogers, of course) came to us as newborns from a local shelter after they were found abandoned. A dedicated foster bottle fed and nurtured these siblings, and they are thriving. Sweet, loving, confident little Dolly is ready to take on the world!
Our Dolly lives up to her iconic namesake – she is quite a pistol. She entered her foster home and quickly let everyone know that though she was tiny, she was ready to be the boss. Dolly loves to direct activities with her brother, initiating play and engaging him in rough housing. And her games are open to everyone; she is delighted when her people get down on the ground and play with her, too. Dolly enjoys new adventures and did well on a stroller ride to explore the outdoors. When her brother is ready for a break, Dolly will entertain herself; give her a selection of toys to play with, and she is a contented girl. Stuffed animals are among her favorite toys. She will toss them in the air and gnaw on their ears (though small, she sees herself as quite fierce!). But sweet Dolly isn’t all go, go, go. She relishes a good nap and adores snuggles, and nothing is better than a snuggly nap with someone special. Dolly has been known to interrupt a nap for a short play session, then settle back into snoozing. This charming girl takes her beauty sleep seriously.
We are currently taking applications for Dolly, and she will be able to go home with an adopter on October 25, after she is spayed. Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and interviews with potential adopters will begin on October 17. To begin the adoption process and learn more about Dolly, apply today!
Puppies this young cannot be left alone more than a few hours at a time. Please only apply if you can be home with your puppy or can make arrangements for the puppy’s care.
Ready to adopt? Now what?
Please take 3-4 minutes and complete our application form at: www.lilaccitypupproject.org. Our adoption team will spring into action! You will have a phone call conversation with a dedicated adoption counselor, and the adoption team will contact your vet(s), if applicable. Once you have been matched with a dog, a meet and greet will be set up and take place at the foster family's home. After the meet and greet, there will be a home inspection and in-home trial prior to adoption finalization.
Lilac City Pup Project is entirely volunteer and foster run, with no kennel facility. Only approved adoption applicants will be able to meet our dogs outside of adoption events.
Adoption Donations:
$350 for Puppies up to 9 months
$300 for Adults 9 months or older
*includes spay/neuter, all core vaccinations, and microchip. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Lilac City Pup Project is a federal 501c3 organization.
Not sure you want to adopt, foster first and adopt later!
LCPP is always in need of fosters. There is an overwhelming number of dogs who need our help and the more fosters we have, the more dogs we can save. LCPP covers expenses, including food. Fosters provide love and a soft place to crash.
