About Dottie

Meet Dottie – a joyful, resilient soul with a heart full of love to give.

Dottie came to us under heartbreaking circumstances after her beloved owner passed away. With no family able to provide the care she needed, Dottie was at risk of euthanasia—until we stepped in to give her a second chance. And what a gift it’s been to get to know this special girl.

Despite the upheaval in her life, Dottie's loving and cheerful spirit shines through. She greets each new day with a wagging tail and a heart full of affection. Whether she’s meeting new people or soaking in the sunshine, her happy-go-lucky demeanor is simply contagious.

Like many of us, Dottie has her quirks. Car rides make her a little uneasy, and she can be cautious in unfamiliar situations. But once she feels safe, her true personality blossoms—playful, cuddly, and oh-so-sweet. Her dream day? A long nap on a soft bed followed by her absolute favourite thing in the world: belly rubs!

Dottie has had positive experiences with children, though her enthusiasm can sometimes be a bit much—so a home with dog-savvy kids would be best. She’s currently being assessed for compatibility with other dogs, and we’ll share updates as we learn more.

Medically, Dottie is on the mend and receiving the care she needs. She recently underwent a dental procedure, which resulted in the extraction of multiple teeth due to previously poor dental health. She is also scheduled to be spayed this month, during which time a few benign lumps and bumps will be removed. Dottie is on a liver supplement to manage previously elevated liver enzymes, which have since stabilized. Ongoing bloodwork will be important to continue monitoring these levels.

Dottie is ready to start her next chapter—a chapter filled with love, stability, and the warmth of a forever family. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will adore you endlessly, Dottie may be the perfect fit.
