DOTTIE

01/28/26 14:59Dottie is a 5-year-old spayed female Pit Bull–type dog who is sweet, calm, and affectionate. She enjoys cuddles, walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and loves exploring on sniffy adventures. She completed a 4-mile Tails & Trails walk with ease and remained friendly and composed around people, bikes, joggers, and other dogs in public settings. Dottie has four chronically broken canine teeth that may require future dental care. She also had three mammary nodules removed at the time of her spay; histopathology was not performed, so future monitoring is recommended.Dottie is easy to leash, very people-affectionate, and enjoys belly rubs. She does display dog reactivity in some settings, and management strategies (including kennel divider adjustments) are recommended. Dottie would do best with a committed adopter who can provide ongoing veterinary care and continue positive behavior management in a loving home.12/03/25What did we do on today’s adventure:Dottie was shy but very sweet when her adventure buddy picked her up. On the way to Hellyer County Park, she was calm and rode beautifully in the car, lying down in the back seat and patiently awaiting her morning adventure. Once they arrived, Dottie immediately began to explore, curious about all the different sounds around her. What really caught her attention were the squirrels! She walks beautifully on a leash, but when she spotted a squirrel, her buddy had to hold on a little tighter—she was captivated! Although Dottie enjoyed the occasional treat during her adventure. She preferred to keep exploring and listening to all the amazing sounds. She wasn’t fazed by bike riders (even electric ones),fishermen, joggers, or walkers along the way. When she saw other dogs, she was excited in a friendly way but maintained a cool, calm demeanor the entire morning. Dottie completed a 4-mile walk all around Hellyer Park. Afterward, she was super cuddly and wanted all the love and pets from her buddy—an absolute sweetheart! On the way back, she was treated to a well-deserved pup cup from Starbucks. Dottie did excellent on her first Tails & Trails adventure!What potential adopters should know:Dottie is the perfect mix of sweet and adventurous.
