Dolly

My story

Meet Dolly! This sweet little beagle has been stealing hearts since her arrival to Miri's Haven. Dolly’s life was turned upside down when her beloved owner passed away and she was left in the home with 25 other animals. Sadly, it was several weeks before help arrived, and she's still quietly carrying the trauma of that time. But even with all she’s been through, Dolly’s gentle, soulful spirit is already shining through. Dolly is super smart and very into food, so she adores enrichment puzzles filled with snacks. She loves being around her foster family, including snuggling in their laps and sleeping in their bed. She enjoys exploring outdoors but is not leash-trained, so her forever family will need to have a home with a fenced-in yard. She loves curling up on cozy comforters and pillows, and sitting on items of furniture when she needs a better view of the goings on. Being the smart girl that she is, Dolly is a great communicator. She'll let you know if you're running late with her meal, wants you to let her inside, or needs a lift onto the bed. She's also great at telling you when she's uncomfortable (for example, she made it known that she doesn't like being alone in a dark room). Dolly gets the zoomies from time to time and it's so much fun to watch her fly around the house. She's great with other dogs and loves to play with them, so we're hoping to find her a home with at least one canine sibling. Dolly is deaf and has some trouble seeing, but she gets around well. She has some stiffness in her hind end and back legs, so she has a little trouble going up stairs and needs to be carried down them. Dolly is brave, sweet, and so deserving of the soft, loving retirement every senior dog should have. She is ready for love, stability, and a comfy couch to call her own - could it be yours? Dolly is approximately 10 years old and 15 lbs. Fostered in Manassas, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org
