Dolly is a very sweet older girl with some anxiety which causes her to not like loud noises, and strangers. She does possess resource guarding issues and was protective of her owner. Dolly has never lived with other dogs and probably would love to be the only pet to give you her undivided attention. Dolly loves to go for walks, knows several basic commands, and does enjoy playing keep away with a ball, and of course enjoys a good rawhide bone. She also was well taken care of by her owner and his Vet. Please stop by to visit her if you have time to give to this sweet older girl.
Notes from the foster: We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dolly. We had her for 3 ½ days. She is such a sweet girl. She settled in just fine here and had full run of the house without issue and is very well house-trained. She was quite calm and playful (likes to play chase) by the first night. She likes tennis balls and squeaky toys. She loves being outside and enjoys walks in the woods. We made sure to walk her away from other dogs as that does get her excited. She does very well on a leash as long as you “tell” her to not pull (keep her a short leash until she does). She ate quite well. She slept fine with us and was on our bed for most of the night the first night. By the last night, she was content to be on her bed at the foot of our bed. She is sensitive to loud noises (e.g., TV) and will run around (we think) to try to figure out where it is coming from. We will definitely foster her again but hope she finds her forever home before we get a chance!
