Dottie's Story

Dot is a beautiful 5-year-old, 40-lb Stumpy Tail Blue Heeler who has been with her family since she was just 8 weeks old. She’s got the brains, the beauty, the training, and — in true Heeler fashion — a few opinions of her own. <br/><br/>Dot is spayed, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, and has even completed professional leash training. This clever girl knows sit, turn, focus, and spin, and she’s always ready to show off those Heeler smarts!<br/><br/>She’s energetic and athletic without all the puppy chaos, making her a great match for someone who wants a dog who is ready for adventures but already knows how to live in a home.<br/><br/>And when it comes to people? Dot is a social butterfly! <br/><br/>She has done wonderfully with men, women, visitors, strangers, and children. She’s confident, loyal, affectionate, and loves being part of her family and whatever they have going on.<br/><br/>Now, about that crown... <br/><br/>For most of her life, Dot has been queen of her castle. When two new adult male dogs recently joined her household, Dot decided she wasn't particularly interested in sharing her kingdom. The change in dynamics has been difficult for her, and her family wants to do what’s best for Dot by finding her a home where she can truly thrive.<br/><br/>Dot would be perfectly happy as your one-and-only dog, where she can soak up all the attention she firmly believes she deserves. She may also be able to live with the right easygoing, submissive canine companion following a thoughtful introduction.<br/><br/>Cats, however? Dot votes no. She’s requesting a feline-free kingdom. <br/><br/>If you love Heelers for everything that makes them Heelers — smart, loyal, athletic, determined, devoted, and maybe just a tiny bit bossy — Dot might be exactly your kind of girl.<br/><br/>At 5 years old, she’s hit that sweet spot: past the puppy shenanigans but still young enough for plenty of adventures. She’s trained, she’s experienced in family life, and she already comes with an impressive résumé of good-girl skills.<br/><br/>Dot isn't looking to rule the whole world...<br/><br/>She'd just really like the opportunity to rule your heart. <br/><br/>Apply to Adopt:<br/>https://forms.gle/6CKL2rmFrbwefbcM9
