Dottie

Meet Dottie! <br/><br/>Dottie's journey to us is a pretty special one. She and her friend Olive were rescued from a dog-hoarding situation and brought to safety by Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. From there, they were transferred to LAWS from a high-volume animal shelter near Las Vegas and placed into loving foster homes where they could finally begin to experience the comfort, patience, and security they deserve. Now, Dottie is ready for the next chapter of her story, a forever home of her very own.<br/><br/>Hi, my name is Dottie and I am a loving, low-key lady looking for my very own person to follow around, adore, and convince to give me unlimited belly rubs!<br/><br/>I can sit pretty without even being asked, although, if we're being honest, I probably look more like a little gopher popping up to inspect the neighborhood than actually doing a trick. I may technically be a dog, but being a house cat is more my speed. I'm a little older, I enjoy my beauty sleep, and I believe naps should be taken very seriously. Sometimes I need a reminder to go outside because getting out of bed is hard when you have important sleeping to do! I am potty trained, though.<br/><br/>I enjoy car rides, short walks, and, my newest discovery, pup cups! I'm still getting used to walking on a leash. I listen pretty well when I'm off leash, but please don't trust me too much. Every now and then, my sense of adventure may be stronger than my listening ears!<br/><br/>Cats don't bother me, and I mostly let other dogs do their own thing while I do mine. I'm not interested in being the life of the doggy party. I would prefer a quiet home without children, or possibly one with older, calmer kids who understand that I don't enjoy lots of noise, hugging, or squeezing.<br/><br/>I'm frightened by thunder, fireworks, and raised voices, even when no one is talking to me. When I feel scared or overwhelmed, I can sometimes get a little snippy, like a grumpy teacher who has already asked the class to settle down three times. I'm not trying to be difficult; I just need patience, reassurance, and a little space to feel safe.<br/><br/>Food is one of my greatest passions. I love meals, snacks, treats, and especially other dogs' treats when no one is looking. Sometimes I need reassurance that my food bowl really belongs to me. I may have gotten in trouble for eating the wrong food in my former life because I occasionally cower at mealtime.<br/><br/>My dream is simple: a calm forever home where I can be someone's faithful companion, receive love and belly rubs all day, take plenty of naps, enjoy the occasional car ride or short walk, and look forward to a steady supply of snacks.<br/><br/>If you need a sweet little shadow, professional napper, part-time gopher, and full-time treat inspector, I may be the perfect dog for you! <br/><br/>**Dottie is believed to be Chihuahua/Beagle mix based on her appearance and characteristics. Breed identification is an estimate only, as no DNA testing has been performed to confirm her breed mix.
