About Dolly

Meet Dolly!

Dolly is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix weighing around 70 pounds (could stand to lose a few). She is truly one of the sweetest souls you could ever meet and was once a registered emotional support animal. Dolly’s story started with heartbreak when her family surrendered her, claiming they "no longer had time for her." Despite her abandonment, Dolly hasn't let it change her loving nature. This beautiful girl absolutely adores people and attention. If you’ve never experienced the famous Great Pyrenees hug, Dolly will gladly introduce you with her gentle embrace. She loves being pampered, brushed, pet, and loved on, happily rolling over for belly rubs.

Ideal Home

Dolly would thrive in a home fully committed to loving her for the rest of her days. She would love a home with a yard where she can peacefully roam and relax. Apartment life is not her ideal fit, and because she thrives on companionship, she would do best with someone who is home more often than not. She will whine/cry when you leave, as she has big feelings for the people she loves.

Ongoing Health

No ongoing health concerns are mentioned.

Training & Support

Dolly is a lower-energy girl who walks wonderfully on leash, though she prefers a slower pace. She gets along great with other dogs, though she’d prefer calmer companions. She has also done well with cats and children. Dolly is not a fan of the kennel, but she does beautifully outside of it, is trustworthy in the home, not destructive, and can safely be left loose when alone.
