ISN'T DOROTHY JUST THE CUTEST LIL THING?!
Meet Dorothy! This sweet, loving 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing in at about 15 pounds, is looking for her forever home or a loving foster. Dorothy's past hasn't always been easy, and the world can still feel a bit scary to her. Loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar people or places can make her feel overwhelmed. When she's frightened, she tends to hide under her beloved teddy bear, seeking the safety she didn't always have. But beneath that fear is a smart, sweet girl who is trying her best. With patience, gentle encouragement, and time, Dorothy begins to let her guard down and truly shine!
She loves a good belly rub, will happily play fetch with her squeaky toys, and can solve treat puzzles in record time. She already knows commands like "sit," "down," "wait," "leave it," and "crate." Dorothy is highly motivated by treats, with freeze-dried beef liver, bully sticks, and string cheese being her absolute favorites!
Ideal Home
Dorothy needs a very special home with calm, patient, adult-only individuals who understand that healing isn't always linear. She requires someone committed to the long haul, ready to celebrate small victories and work through any setbacks. A confident, playful, and well-adjusted canine companion could help show her the ropes, and experience with positive reinforcement and fearful dogs would be a huge bonus.
Ongoing Health
Dorothy is a healthy pup ready for her next adventure!
Training & Support
Dorothy is a smart cookie who knows several commands and loves to learn. She may take a little longer to trust than some dogs, but with consistency and positive reinforcement, she’s sure to blossom.
