Doris, affectionately known as Dora, is a sweet and gentle senior Pit Bull Terrier Mix who came to us as a stray. She is estimated to be around 11 years old and weighs 52lbs. Dora is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on preventatives. She previously had a complex mammary carcinoma, grade I, which was surgically removed. Monitoring of the area for recurrence is recommended.
Ideal Home
Dora would thrive in a calm, loving home that appreciates the gentle pace of senior life. Her ideal family would be patient and understanding of her hearing and vision impairments, offering a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and cherished. A home with other mellow pets and older, respectful children would be a great fit, as Dora enjoys quiet companionship without too much bustle. Because she has a low energy level, Dora is perfect for someone seeking a relaxed companion to share leisurely walks, sunny naps, and plenty of gentle affection. Families who love including their dog in everyday life--without overwhelming her--will find Dora to be a deeply rewarding and loving friend.
Ongoing Health
Dora had a complex mammary carcinoma, grade I, excised. Among malignant mammary neoplasms, complex carcinomas are considered to have a relatively less aggressive clinical course, with lower reported rates of recurrence and metastasis. Monitoring of the area for recurrence is recommended.
Training & Support
Dora is a fully house-trained and crate-trained lady who knows her routine and keeps her space clean. She is comfortable in her crate and will settle in calmly when needed, though she's just as happy lounging nearby as your quiet, loyal companion. Her mature manners make her an easy and peaceful addition to any home.
