Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered or contacted for adoptions. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications can be found here on our website.

We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive for a meet & greet.

Dottie is a sweet girl just waiting for the right forever home. She came from a life of breeding, so everything has been new for her, but she is doing well adjusting. She is nervous and shy until she gets settled in which can take several weeks so she will need a patient home. Because of her being timid, she needs a calm somewhat quite home. Older, respectful children will be fine with Dottie.

Dottie loves playing with the other four-legged friends. A home with another dog of Dottie's size is required. Dottie looks to her foster canine siblings to learn commands & feel safe. We are happy to say that she responds rather jubilantly & has fun playing. Her favorite thing in the whole wide world is to zoom all over the yard, run & run & run & run!

At this time, Dottie is still not comfortable on a harness and leash. For her safety, you must have a secure physically fenced yard. Any fence with gaps will need to be reinforced around the bottom area so Dottie is not able to get through the spacing. Additionally, we will make sure the adopting family has a plan to prevent any door-dashing. We have a lot of experience in this, & we can make easy recommendations to help keep Dottie safe.

Her forever home will need time to teach her that she is safe. In her foster home she has shown this is possible, time & patience is key. Dottie plays & runs around like a happy dog should. She will even lay on her back & expose her belly while playing!
