Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The many faces of Dolly. Happy, pitiful, playful, and over shenanigans. I am a 70lb package of personality. I came to MVPC VERY pregnant and raised some beautiful puppies. I am still working on regaining my girlish figure but will probably always have a bit of a saggy belly because I was obviously bred a lot. I am TOTALLY about my peoples and want to be with (preferably on) you as much as possible! I am fine with other dogs, and even cats! I certainly love my chew toys. They do need to be sturdy and balls of any size are absolutely the bees knees!
I want a few minutes, and a couple cookies before you are approved to be my newest BFF, but I have excellent manners and once we are friends, we are FRIENDS. I am active, snuggly, sweet and fun and ready to be a member of an awesome family…rather than constantly raising one.
ADOPTION FEE: $250 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)
ADOPTER: Dog experience
BIRTHDAY: 12/11/2018
FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment)
DOG FRIENDLY: Yes
DOGS IN HOME: Male only, can go solo
CATS: Yes
CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over
I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $250 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!
***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.***
DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER INQUIRY/CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.
PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
