My story

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

Meet Dorothy, a courageous 2-year-old Cairn Terrier who has been on an inspiring healing journey at Famous Fido Rescue after surviving a car accident. Now ready for her next chapter, Dorothy is seeking a loving home where she can thrive. She gets along well with other small dogs and, although she hasn’t been around cats, we believe this sweet girl would adapt well to a home with feline friends. Dorothy would be best suited to an adult-only family or a family with older children who understand her need for gentleness due to some lingering tenderness from her accident. This volunteer favorite is looking for a calm and quiet home filled with love, where she can continue to heal and share her affectionate spirit.
