NAME:  Dottie
BREED:  Shiba Inu/Chihuahua mix
SEX:  female
COLOR:  white
AGE:  Aprox 1 1/2 as of Jan 2021
WEIGHT:  18

FOSTERED BY:  Melissa
LOCATED IN:  Sarasota


NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY:

PLEASE NOTE:  

Dotty is a very sweet and incredibly smart dog that is determined to please. Playing with toys, fetch, tug and going for walks are her favorite things to do. Dotty learned over 10 commands in about 6 months with her previous owner. She would make a great companion for someone looking to get into Flyball, disc, or agility training. 

Dotty is extremely food motivated and just needs reinforcement with her known commands and needs an active family. She is crate trained and house trained. She is fine with cats, small and large dogs and would love to have a playmate. New situations and people make her nervous so you must be willing to give her time to adjust. Usually with a few treats and a little time she is ready to play and show you how smart she is. She would not be good with young children (which is why she had to be returned to us), so will not be adopted out to a family with young kids. 

Dottie is very high energy and would do well in a home with a fenced in yard or with someone that maybe is a jogger/walks a number of miles a day.


Due to COVID-19 we are a little more limited on volunteers and the availability (and safety) of home visits.   

Therefore, at this time, we will only be able to process applications that have an excellent current vet history.  If you haven’t had a pet or verifiable vet history we will not be able to process your application.   

We will be reviewing applications and contacting applicants that we are able to process applications for and that meet the vet history requirements as well as being a good fit for the dog(s) that they are interested in.
