Doris aka Dora

My story

Name: Doris aka Dora Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Sex/age/weight: Female/ estimated DOB 03/2013 /52lbsVetting: Up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives. Dora had a complex mammary carcinoma, grade I (low grade), excised. Among malignant mammary neoplasms, complex carcinomas are considered to have a relatively less aggressive clinical course, with lower reported rates of recurrence and metastasis. Monitoring of the area for recurrence is recommended. House trained/crate trained: This sweet senior lady is fully house-trained and crate-trained. She knows her routine, does her business outside, and keeps her space clean. She's comfortable in her crate and will settle in calmly when needed, though she’s just as happy lounging nearby as your quiet, loyal companion. Her mature manners make her an easy and peaceful addition to any home.Dogs/cats/children: Dora is a gentle soul who gets along well with other dogs and is cat-friendly with supervision. Since she has limited hearing and vision, she appreciates calm, respectful interactions—especially with feline friends. She does well with other dogs who match her mellow energy and aren’t too overwhelming. Dora is also kid-friendly and would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children who can understand and respect her sensory limitations. Her sweet nature shines in a peaceful, loving environment where she can feel safe and included.Energy level: Dora has a wonderfully low energy level, perfect for a calm and relaxed home. She enjoys leisurely strolls and plenty of quiet time, preferring to spend her days resting and soaking up affection. She’s not demanding or high-energy, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a peaceful, easygoing friend.Before FAR/my history: Dora was picked up by Jones County ACS as a stray. Things I like: Dora is a true lover of the simple pleasures in life. She adores her naps and can often be found peacefully resting in her favorite spot. Mealtime and treats are highlights of her day—she enjoys them with enthusiasm! Dora also loves rolling around in the grass on sunny days and absolutely melts for gentle belly rubs. While she enjoys short walks to stretch her legs and explore, she’s perfectly content to relax and take things slow.Things that make my humans happy: Dora’s sweet and gentle demeanor has truly won our hearts. Seniors have a calm, loving presence, and she is no exception—her quiet companionship brings a wonderful sense of peace to our home. While she’s not as active as she once was, her warm spirit and affectionate nature continue to brighten our days and put smiles on our faces. Having Dora in our lives has been a joyful experience, and we know she will bring the same love and comfort to her forever family.Ideal family/home: Dora would thrive in a calm, loving home that appreciates the gentle pace of senior life. Her ideal family would be patient and understanding of her hearing and vision impairments, offering a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and cherished. A home with other mellow pets and older, respectful children would be a great fit, as Dora enjoys quiet companionship without too much bustle. Because she has a low energy level, Dora is perfect for someone seeking a relaxed companion to share leisurely walks, sunny naps, and plenty of gentle affection. Families who love including their dog in everyday life—without overwhelming her—will find Dora to be a deeply rewarding and loving friend.If you are interested in giving Doris aka Dora a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer.
