Meet Dottie – 3–4 Year Old Dalmatian | Looking for Her Forever Family

Dottie Pardon is a joyful, affectionate girl with a big heart and an even bigger desire to be loved. She’s eager to please, knows how to sit, and happily soaks up every bit of attention you offer. Medium-energy by nature, she’d love a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and making a dog feel like part of the team.

Dottie’s story is one of true survival. She arrived at a shelter in NE Texas severely emaciated and unclaimed, and was scheduled for euthanasia along with 30 other dogs. Thanks to a compassionate vet tech who stepped in, her life was saved — and now she’s thriving in foster care.

In her foster home, Dottie lived peacefully in the home office with her work-from-home foster mom, happy to nap nearby or simply enjoy companionship throughout the day. She does need a home without cats or small dogs, as she has a noticeable prey drive — but she may do well with a similar-sized or larger, calm dog with slow introductions.

Dottie’s Ideal Home
• No cats or small dogs
• Active or moderately active family
• Someone who enjoys a snuggly, people-oriented companion
• Work-from-home or someone who wants a shadow dog? – She’d love it!

Dottie is ready for a life where she is cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who survived the odds and still loves with her whole heart — Dottie is waiting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
