Dottie is a sweet St. Bernard mix weighing in around 50 pounds. She is approximately 2-3 years old. Dot Dot as her foster folks affectionately call her was found the first week in October of 2023 along with her 4 pups. She was in sad shape, and it has taken 6 months to get her healthy. She is fully vaccinated to include bordetella, been treated for heart-worms, started on monthly heart-worm preventative, and has been spayed. She is playful, yet also calm. She is good with other dogs. She currently lives with 3 other female dogs. She is house trained and crate trained and has NEVER had an accident in the house. Dot knows the commands “sit”, “kennel” to get in her crate, “stay back” to not rush the door, and “down” when she gets excited and I want her to be calm. Dot comes when called. She enjoys riding in cars and on ATVs. She has never offered to chew on anything that’s not a dog toy. Dot loves the outside and spends most of her time on my front porch. Dot’s only con is that she loves to chase cats, but all 6 of our cats are still alive 6 months later…she just chases them and I haven’t been able to break that habit. She walks well on a leash with a regular collar, but I do use a “pinch collar” when I think we may encounter cats or other wildlife. She doesn’t love a bath, but she gets in the shower to be bathed without much fuss. I believe Dottie was likely just left to her own devices in a pen or on a chain before we found her abandoned on a rural dirt road. So she has had to learn to be a pet, but I think she is really enjoying the process. I would not call her food aggressive, but maybe food possessive…which I believe is a holdover from her not getting regular meals. I feed all the dogs in their own spaces to avoid confrontations and to make sure they all get what they need. Problem solved. She has come a long way and will make someone a loving and loyal pet. However, Dottie is currently being fostered in Georgia. She would love to make her way up north to a forever family.
