We at All Paws Matter believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. This is now a requirement in our adoption process. Proof of training classes for puppies specifically is required before adoption.

Dottie’s mama arrived in the shelter weak, malnourished and so thin that unbeknownst to the shelter staff she was pregnant. The next morning Dottie and her siblings were born and thankfully, off the street so it was a blessing because now the puppies would be properly nourished, vetted and taken care of.

Dottie is as an affectionate, sweet, loving and gentle pup. Since she is a bit timid, another dog is imperative in her new home. She is very comfortable with dogs and is very respectful of the cats in her foster home. She is currently living with two resident senior dogs and and definitely understands when they don’t want to play with her and she plays very well on her own. She is still a puppy and does have puppy energy, and she will need training to help her with manners.

Dottie does prefer women but she has become much more comfortable around men and witth time and patience this will continue. Dottie tends to “mouth” when playing with people so she needs reinforced correction that this is not acceptable. She loves squeak toys, and would take to agility. She should be crated when left alone as she can get into mischief.

Dottie’s ideal home would be a quiet one with a fully secured fenced yard where she could spend some time basking in the sun quietly or running around with a buddy. Somene working from home either or full or part time would be an asset as she loves her people. Potential adopters would need to let her expend her energy with walks. She can be nervous of loud noises, traffic so please keep this in consideration when applying. A fairly active family would be ideal for her and someone in the home at least part of the day is beneficial. Dottie is fully house trained, crate trained and is living with dogs and cats. We believe children 10+ will be fine for her. She is a true gem and we can’t wait for her to find a home of her own.

She has no signs of prey drive and is good with small animals.
