Poor Dolly was found roaming stray and taken in by our local Animal Control. She has clearly lived a very neglected life- she has had many many litters, her teeth are in terrible condition, her coat was just filthy, and a funny looking back end from having way too many puppies. Of course, nobody came forward to claim her.
Unfortunately, when little Dolly was being led out of her kennel she pulled towards some kibble on the floor in another kennel and other small dog pushed her head through the bars and grabbed Dolly's nose and upper lip, causing a big injury. Sadly, the shelter was not able to financially support Dolly's medical issues, and as no rescue had come forward for her yet, she was marked for euthanasia the next day. Thankfully we were made aware of her and pulled her into rescue just in time!
Despite her clear neglect in her previous life, Dolly is the absolute sweetest little girl and just loves people so much! She is so gentle, loves climbing on people's laps and rolling over for belly rubs. She was so patient when shelter staff gave her baths, and is so gentle taking food! She has tested neutral/passive with other dogs but not a match for a home with cats or small animals.
Dolly has done very well with all people that she's met, including kids! She can jump up a bit, so if her forever home has kids, the parents will have to be realistic about managing dog-child interactions... especially if little kids have food! Dolly is incredibly food motivated and while she does not have any food aggression issues with people, we don't think she's above trying to steal easy snacks for loose little fingers!
Dolly is crate trained and housetrained. She is very well behaved in her crate and is used to being crated for an 8 hour workday without issues. Now that she's feeling better, Dolly can be quite hyper when her people come home and it's time to come out of her crate, and she can be pushy at thresholds. She is working on calmness coming out of the crate, at doors, jumping up and being pushy for food.
Dolly's one true love is food! She is working on her basic commands without food as a motivation, but is very easy to train with food! She is quick to pop into commands asked, but does need work on duration and holding commands. It seems like Dolly has had very little training in her previous life, but she is very happy and eager to please. She will try being pushy for food and has attempted to counter surf, so she will need a forever family that can work on this behaviour and ensure she doesn't successfully snag anything yummy! Counter surfing can be a tough habit to break once pups have had success at it!
Despite being a small girl, Dolly is quite strong and doesn't mind putting her full weight into pulling towards things that she wants. She needs some work on her leash skills, and being calm and well behaved in public. Dolly just thinks that everyone is her best friend, and the world revolves around her!
Dolly is looking for a forever family that can spoil her and give her the cushiest, healthiest and most loving lifestyle that she never had in her previous life! She will need someone confident who can work on her basic training, and help her be the best behaved version of herself!
DOLLY FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
45lb (f) American Bully
- Good with dogs (passive, neutral)
- No cats
- Best with no small prey animals (was good with chickens when standing still, but prey drive kicked in when they flapped/flew)
- Loves all people, good with strangers
-Good with kids
-Medium energy. Capable of being calm, but very excited by food
- Needs work on leash, but hates walks (unsure if doesn't like winter, or being outside in general)
-Housetrained
-Crate trained
-Good in car (likes shotgun!)
- Very smart, loves to please, food motivated, learns quickly
-Curious, loves training games, loves engagement food toys
- Not interested in stuffies/balls
-Non-vocal
-Can be pushy about doors, working on calmness with thresholds
-Affectionate, sweet, loving
- Jumps up gently for affection, or checking out tables- working on keeping 4 on the floor
-Good for showers/tubs
-A little shy, but curious of new people/places/dogs. Dolly is new to our home, so this may just be part of her decompression and transition to a new environment. It's always best to take it slow during the first few weeks to set new dogs up for success
Needs work:
- Calmness at thresholds
- Patience for food
- Keeping 4 on the floor
- Learning walks are fun!
Dolly is looking for a forever home that can commit to slow introductions for the transition period, taking her to vet appts and manage her post-surgery care. She would benefit from lots of enrichment activity, indoor play, and love! Dolly is a really smart girl and a quick learner, so the areas she needs work should be very easy for her with an attentive foster person giving her feedback. She's already shown a lot of progress in just the couple days that she's been here.
