Dolly's Story

***DOLLY IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOMES - We are assisting her current owner in rehoming her at no fault of her own. If you are interested in Dolly, please fill out and application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ***<br/><br/>Dolly is a beautiful mixed-breed puppy (Akbash/Mastiff/Lab) with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and deeply devoted to the people she considers "hers." Once she bonds with you, she is a total love bug who thrives on attention and connection.<br/><br/>Dolly is playful and fun-loving-she enjoys playing fetch, being chased, and engaging in interactive play. She is very food-motivated and easily encouraged with treats, which has helped her succeed in multiple rounds of training. She is crate trained, potty trained, and does very well in her kennel while her owner is away, especially since she's used to a large, comfortable setup where she can move around and relax.<br/><br/>She can be wary and easily startled around new people and takes time to warm up, but patience and treats go a long way. Once she feels safe with adults, she becomes affectionate and trusting. Dolly does well with animals and currently lives peacefully with another dog, a cat, and even chickens. She is curious but respectful with other animals.<br/><br/>Dolly does best in a calm environment and is not a good fit for homes with young children she doesn't know. While she is great with her owner's seven-year-old daughter, unfamiliar small children make her nervous and she may growl or bark when overwhelmed. She would truly thrive in a farm or rural setting with someone who is home most of the day and can give her the reassurance, structure, and companionship she needs.<br/><br/>Dolly has experienced some separation anxiety but is improving steadily and continues to make great progress. She is looking for a patient, experienced home that understands guardian-type breeds and can give her the time and love she deserves.
