After over a year at Baypath — and the past few months focused on healing — Dottie is officially back and ready to show off her best self ☀️💜
Dottie first came to Baypath last year when her owner, a veteran facing homelessness, made the incredibly difficult decision to surrender her when they could no longer care for her.
Since then, Dottie has been patiently waiting for her second chance.
For the past few months, this sweet girl has been quietly working on herself behind the scenes while getting the care she needed in foster and recovering from a long treatment journey for her paws — and now? She’s healthy, feeling great, summer-ready, and officially back on the market 💅
Not only has Dottie been getting back to her best self, but she’s been getting in shape too! Long sniffy walks, enrichment games, sunny deck lounging… and her absolute favorite hobbies: SLEEP & anything to do with WATER 💦
Swimming? Yes.
Wading in the ocean? Absolutely.
Lounging in a baby pool? Her specialty.
Trying to catch hose water mid-air? Also yes.
Basically, if your ideal summer includes a dog buddy for lake days, backyard hose time, or lounging in the sun, Dottie is ready to clock in. While she enjoys walks and keeping up the summer body she’s been working on, Dottie is not a high-energy dog and does just fine with shorter outings and lots of lounging 🕶️.
At home, Dottie is equal parts smart, snoozy, and silly. She’s house trained, crate trained, sleeps through the night (so well, in fact, that her fosters sometimes have to wake her up in the morning!), loves food puzzles and sniffy adventures, and will absolutely keep you laughing with her dramatic snores and goofy personality.
Dottie would thrive as the only pet in a calm home with teens or older who will appreciate her independent spirit and let her warm up at her own pace. Once you’re in her circle? You’ve got a loyal best friend for life 🫶
After all this girl has been through, we think it’s finally Dottie’s turn 💜 And thanks to a sponsored adoption fee, bringing this summer-loving lady home is even easier!
