I found Dottie in the road in October 2024. She has been the most sweet, cuddly, smart, and beautiful girl. I am going through a mental health crisis and have been in need of help for months and it’s just not fair to my dogs to keep them and have the responsibility. She needs a home with kids or another dog(s). She is a high energy breed but she is a pretty low energy dog. She had a full blood panel done to make sure she has no health issues despite being extremely calm.
I took in a puppy two months ago and she disliked her for two days and then warmed up to her. They are now best friends and I would prefer they go to their forever home together.
