Dory's Story

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming... or in my case... just keep wagging! Hi there! I’m Dory! I’m a friendly and enthusiastic girl whose personality will sweep you off your feet! I love to explore, eat treats, play, and chase a ball! I’ll need a solid routine, lots of sniff-filled enrichment, plenty of exercise, and some basic training! *enthusiasm* is the key to success! Kids: 8+, mindful of size, may steal kids’ toys, object exchange, can be jumpy Dogs: Ignored and avoided other dogs, slow intros with gentle/neutral dogs
