**👑 Miss Lottie Dottie is Officially Retiring! 👑**
After being the sweetest companion, an incredible mama, and the heart of our home, our precious **Miss Lottie Dottie** is ready to hang up her crown and step into the pampered life of a retired queen.
Dottie goes in to be spayed next week. Once she is healed and ready, we will be opening our search for her absolute dream retirement home. Dottie is four years old, fully up-to-date on all vaccinations, and has been a cherished member of our family since day one—which means she will only go to a home that is truly exceptional.

# # # **Meet Dottie**
* **Age:** 4 years young
* **Vetting:** Fully vaccinated; spayed prior to placement
* **Manners:** Graduate of professional obedience training
* **Favorite Pastimes:** A high-drive game of fetch, soaking up endless belly rubs, and napping right beside her human
* **Lifestyle:** A little bit bougie! Dottie is accustomed to being pampered and loves keeping up with her regular spa day every 6 to 8 weeks.

# # # **Dottie’s Dream Home Wishlist**
Because Dottie has poured so much love into our family, her next chapter must be tailored to what makes her happiest:
* **Location (Joplin, MO Area):** We require her adoptive family to live in or very near Joplin, Missouri. We love this girl deeply and want to remain a part of her support system—meaning if her new family ever travels or goes on vacation, Dottie comes right back to our home for built-in, trusted VIP dog-sitting!
* **A Dedicated Play Yard:** A secure, fenced yard where she can stretch her legs, fetch her favorite ball, and get her daily zoomies out.
* **Companionship:** A household where someone is home for most of the day. Dottie thrives on human interaction and quality time.
* **Pet Dynamic:** Dottie is ready to be spoiled. She will do best as an **only dog** or in a home with at most **one calm, compatible dog sibling**.
* **Commitment to Upkeep:** A family prepared to keep up with her routine health care, nutrition, and regular grooming schedule.
