Story: Dolly was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Dolly is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Dolly is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Dolly will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!
What my foster says: Dolly is a good girl and has been a great house guest. She’s fully potty trained and even knows to ring a bell when she needs to go outside. She does really well with our elderly dog - she plays with him and gives him space when he needs it. She’s doing great in her crate. Walks right in and settles down to sleep through the night. She also often goes in just to relax. We also left her alone in the crate for a few hours the other night and didn’t hear any barking when we left or returned. She’s medium energy and not destructive of anything in the home. She’d probably do best in a home with no cats - she’s just a little too interested in our kitties!
The fee to adopt Iris is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Iris has been seen by a shelter vet and was given a clean bill of health.
