Doris's Story

Hi, my name is Doris. I am 2 years old and was surrendered to the shelter 8/11/26 because my owner had too many animals. I’m more on the reserved side and am slowly learning to trust people. Since being here, I’ve managed to tolerate people, but like I said, I’m still trying to understand that all people aren’t bad, and they actually have a lot of love to give me. I’ve never been in a home before so my adjustment to a home environment might take a while. Because of how reserved I am, I think a quiet home would be best for me. Probably no young children... I don't want to have any fear-based reactions and have it happen to be on a child. If your home is quiet and you’re looking more so for a companion rather than a best friend, I’m your girl. But don’t get me wrong, I can definitely see myself coming out of my shell once I’m comfortable!

Montgomery County SPCA's Adoption Policy
At the Montgomery County SPCA, we are dedicated to finding responsible, forever homes for all the pets in our care. To that end, we have created a thorough adoption process which helps us achieve this goal. This process includes a check of veterinary history records on any pets you currently have, and a home visit. If you rent your home, we require written proof (letter or lease) from your landlord that you are allowed to have pets. We undertake this kind of thorough review to ensure that animals who have already been discarded at least once will never have to experience this again.
