Dolly P's Story

Age: 1-2 years old<br/>Breed: Mastiff X<br/>Sex: Female <br/>Weight: 110 lbs<br/><br/> HOUSEHOLD REQUIREMENTS<br/><br/>KIDS: 12+ due to Dolly’s size and tendency to enthusiastically jump up for attention. At 110 lbs, she can easily knock over a small child.<br/><br/>OTHER DOGS: Dolly is friendly with other dogs and could likely thrive in a home with a canine companion. She can also be happy as your one and only.<br/><br/>CATS: Dolly has not been cat tested yet.<br/><br/>ENVIRONMENT: Dolly would do best with people who enjoy having a big, affectionate dog by their side and can provide plenty of companionship and interaction.<br/><br/>ALONE TIME: Dolly is still learning that being alone is okay. She can become whiny when separated from her people and clearly prefers human company to alone time. She does settle, but her new family should be prepared to patiently build her confidence with being left on her own.<br/><br/>LEASH MANNERS: Dolly is a strong 110-lb dog! She walks nicely until she spots something interesting that she really wants to investigate — and then she can put her whole body into getting there. Her adopter will need to be physically strong enough to safely handle her while continuing to work on her leash skills.<br/><br/>ABOUT DOLLY P<br/><br/>Dolly is a big girl with an even bigger heart. She is absolutely lovely with people and pets and thinks pretty much everyone she meets is a potential new best friend. Attention and affection are her love languages, and she isn't shy about asking for either.<br/><br/>Want to make Dolly happy? Just give her some love and watch her roll right over for a belly rub. She has also been known to enthusiastically toss her entire 110-pound self at you for pets — because when you're Dolly, subtlety isn't really necessary!<br/><br/>And yes, Dolly is more than happy to share her slobber with you. After all, everyone deserves a little Dolly P in their life!<br/><br/>While Dolly has plenty of wonderful qualities, her size and strength mean she will need an adopter who is prepared to continue working with her. She is learning appropriate leash manners and that her people sometimes need to leave and come back. She will do best with a patient family who can help her build confidence with alone time while giving her the companionship she loves so much.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a giant, affectionate, people-loving dog who will happily soak up every ounce of attention you have to give, Dolly may be your girl.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------<br/><br/>HOW TO APPLY?<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Dolly P, please submit an inquiry from Petfinder by clicking **"Start your inquiry"** at the top of this page.<br/><br/>Or reach out directly via email to: **[animal.shelter@vancouver.ca](mailto:animal.shelter@vancouver.ca)**<br/><br/>----------------------------------------<br/><br/>All adult dogs at Animal Services have veterinary health checks, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes.<br/><br/>**Adoption Fee:** $391<br/><br/>If you live in the City of Vancouver, you will also need to purchase a dog licence.<br/><br/>For more information on our adoption process, go to **vancouver.ca/adopt**

Please let our staff know if advance if you have another dog, as we will need to be adequately prepared for a dog meet-up.
