Dottie's Story

Meet Dottie — a calm, gentle girl with a quiet kind of charm. Dottie is the kind of dog who makes life feel easy. Shes sweet, polite, and beautifully well-mannered—the type of companion who brings a steady, easygoing vibe to your day.<br/>Dottie has shown shes social and respectful in play groups with other dogs, but she doesnt really seek out interaction or engage in active play. She seems to prefer a calmer environment and would likely enjoy a home that matches her easygoing nature.<br/>But heres the best part... once shes comfortable, her personality really shines.<br/>After a spa day with a volunteer groomer (where she was absolutely perfect—calm, tolerant, and loving the attention), Dottie came out of her shell in the play yard. She lit up, enjoying time with her handler, happily chasing toys and showing off a playful, joyful side thats just waiting to be part of someones everyday life.<br/>About Dottie: Estimated age: 26 years. 68 lbs., spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated. Sweet, friendly, and gentle. Walks beautifully on leash. Well-mannered and easy to handle. Prefers low-key interactions with other dogs. Loves attention, toys, and one-on-one time. Dottie is that perfect balance—calm when you need peace, playful when you need joy, and always ready to be by your side.<br/>Shes not asking for much... just a home where she can finally settle in and be someones girl. Come meet her at Citrus County Animal Services, 4030 S. Airport Rd., Inverness, FL. ID#60761528

Citrus County Animal Services's Adoption Policy
Interested in adopting a new family member? We are here to help you find the one for you! When you come to the shelter please bring your photo Identification and an open mind and heart. Our amazing staff and volunteers will work with you throughout your visit to help find the right companion for you. *Please note, Adoptions are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. When you have decided on the one (or two!) that you would like to add to your family you have two options: Adopt! If you choose to adopt, this means that the new addition is legally yours and you can take them home for endless snuggles and playtime without ever needing to come back to the shelter. Slumber Party foster: This option allows you to take home the dog or cat for two weeks without a formal adoption commitment. At the end of the two weeks (or before) you can choose to finalize the adoption or return the pet. Slumber Party is a great way to learn more about the pet and ensure they are the perfect fit for you. For example, you might think you want the energetic running partner and then decide you are more of a Netflix and snuggle pet owner. What if I want to adopt a pet that is still on stray hold? We are dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners, and therefore we honor legal stray holds of 3-5 business days to allow owners to reclaim their pets. If an animal is currently on a stray hold, an adopter may choose to put their name on the wait-list for the animal by calling the shelter at 352-746-8400. If the owner does not come forward when the animal’s stray hold ends, the first person on the wait-list will be given first opportunity to choose to adopt or pass. If the first person passes or is not present at the designated day and time then the second person will be given the opportunity. If no one on the wait-list decides to adopt the day the animal made available for adoption, then the pet will be placed as available for general adoption on a first come-first served basis.
