Dolly's Story
Meet Dolly! <br/>This small gal has had a rough start and is ready for someone to show her how special she is. Dolly was found severely emaciated, matted to the point she couldn't see, and could barely go to the bathroom. She was found in this condition behind a dumpster, freezing cold and unable to walk due to weakness. Our team immediately got to work to try and save her. Her bloodwork showed her organs were shutting down due to starvation.<br/>Her nails that had been growing into her paw pads were cut, and her hair was shaved down. Next up was a refeeding schedule, which is done to prevent refeeding syndrome that can occur when starved dogs eat huge meals after not having food. Gradually Dolly's bloodwork started to improve, and she gained weight, and the ability to get around. Now, you would never guess this was the same dog that came to us over a month ago! <br/> Dolly is 4 years old and house trained. She likes other dogs, but does not like to share anything food related. For this reason a no young kid household is best for her.<br/>Dolly is very social, does great with other dogs and cats. She bonds deeply to her people, and only wants to follow you around and lay on your lap. She is the typical low energy Shihtzu, but loves her walks! She deserves to be the queen bee after what she has been through. She may not look like the normal fluffy Shihtzu, but with time her looks will catch up with her resilience and zest for life.

You don't have to be a raving beauty to be special and to be beautiful."<br/>-Dolly Parton
