Terrier, Dalmatian [Mix]

At barely 9 months old, Dolly is a happy-go-lucky puppy whose mission in life is to have FUN ! Although this young lady walks well on a leash, she really needs a course in obedience class to polish her manners! Dolly knows no commands, but with her desire to please and her native intelligence, that will soon be corrected. This affectionate young lady has NO problem at all sharing her food or toys, and she takes treat easily from your fingers. The mystery regarding her parentage leads one to believe that she has some Dalmatian in her background. Her sparkling white coat includes some dilute beige spots, with her ears getting the greater share of “color”. What really matters is that Dolly is an affectionate dog who gets along well with other dogs and will make a fine companion. Stop by the AHS to meet Dolly and see if you feel the “connection” between you. Call 973-824-7080 to learn how this fine pup can join your family!

IMPORTANT NOTE TO OUR ADOPTERS?

Lassie, Cleo, Rin Tin Tin and Toto don't show up at our shelter. We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved dog. We get the leftovers. Dogs that other people have incompetently bred, inadequately socialized, ineffectively "trained," and badly treated. Most shelter dogs have had it. They've been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've never had proper veterinary care, kind and consistent training, or sufficient company. They've lived outside, in a crate, or in the basement. They're scared, depressed and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up.

But we are try our best and we don't give up. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as the next Westminster champion. So please, please don't come to our shelter in the hopes of getting a "bargain," or the idea of "getting" just anything. Come to our shelter to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own spirit. For adoption will reward you in ways you never thought possible. I can promise you this -- a shelter dog will make you a better person.
