Story
⸻Meet Dottie – 3–4 Year Old Dalmatian | Looking for Her Forever FamilyDottie 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.
