Story

This is a story about a dog (dressed as a reindeer) that will go down in history. Have you heard of the Island of Misfit Toys? It's a place where those with imperfections go and a place where I fit in. My name is Dolly, just like the girl in the movie. I am deaf. My skin is a little funny in spots, and although it is overflowing with love, they say my heart has a murmur. You'd never guess by the way I get around. If I go outside, please be sure the space is carefully secured. I love to explore but I can't hear when you tell me I've gone too far. I do not like to be on a leash, I'd rather be cozy inside. Do you know what it's like to feel forgotten? No one even knows how old I am. Some say 8 or 9, others 12 or 13. I like to keep you guessing in everything I do. Sometimes, I potty outside, but sometimes I'd rather use a pretty princess potty pad. One thing is for sure... I love to snuggle up in a ball like a tiny little fox and it's even better if I can do that in your lap. I don't know how to bark. I whinny like a horse or gobble like a turkey, it's really quite a treat. I know I am a little different, but I let my light shine! My dream is to find a home that can love me the way that I am. There is always tomorrow for dreams to come true...and tomorrow is not too far away.

Story

AVAILABLE PUPPY--Chief is a 5 month old Doberman/Mix mix (best guess). He is very playful & will be a big boy.  He is teething, doing well on potty traing, is in a crate when we are gone, & sleeps great with us in bed.  He is head strong & obedience training is highly recommended. Recommend no young children due to his high energy & teething.  He came in as an injured stray-- best guess is he was hit by a car. The vet repaired his broken leg & Chief luckily the leg could be saved. If interested in meeting Chief please contact StrayHaven.  Cincinnati, Ohio. ##1884769##
