My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🌸Meet Dottie! She is a bundle of sweetness and charm! Dottie is 3 years old and weighs about 65 lb. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventive medications. She has a super chill personality and is looking to live a simple life with her fur-ever family💕

She would love a family who has:
🐕 a yard where she can run, play, and look for squirrels ;)
🛋️ a couch where she can snuggle with her fur-ever people (her favorite time)
🛏️ a dog bed for when she wants her space
🎾 toys to keep her entertained
But, most importantly, she just wants people she can call her own!

Dottie had a rough start; she was surrendered while pregnant and unfortunately lost her babies. But, her personality blossomed over the past couple of months, filled with love and happy energy, making her the perfect family dog. She is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows commands like "sit," "paw," "touch," and "wait," and she's ready to learn more. Don’t be fooled by her cute face. She is super smart!

Dottie adores children but is unfamiliar with cats and can be selective with other dogs. She prefers calm dogs that don’t overly invade her space, but she will give lots of body language signs when a dog is too much for her.

One of the new things for her was walking on a leash. As a herding breed, she has a natural inclination to chase. However, she has made great progress and no longer chases every moving thing. Squirrels, however, are too fun to resist playing with :) She is learning not to become overstimulated and walks pretty well in less busy areas with a longer leash.
