My story

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

File #24-169Current Foster Location: Ottawa South, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi, Im Dottie. I'm a three-legged superstar! Honestly, I dont even notice the missing legIm too busy chasing balls, squirrels, and whatever else catches my eye. My hobbies include sunbathing with a stick, stealing the spotlight, and making sure no crumb in your kitchen goes unsupervised. Im an expert at living my best doglife. My day starts with a good stretch and some morning zoomies in the yard, followed by breakfast and all the pets you can spare. Im a fantastic snuggler and a total people pup. Wherever you go, Ill be close behind, plopping at your feet or curling up next to you. I adore kids (Ive got a lot of patience for those tiny humans) and love playdates with my big furry friend next door. Cats? Uh, let's not. Im housetrained, crate-trained, and working on polishing up my leash mannerstraining will just make me even more amazing! If youve got room for a goofy, attention-loving tripod, with a heart as big as my love for snacks, Im your girl. Lets live the good life together!
