Dottie

My story

Meet DOTTIE! Dottie is a spunky, outgoing, high-energy Jack Russell mix who is always on the move! She loves fetch (especially with tennis balls), chew toys, and zooming around the yard. She thrives in an active home where she’ll get lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. She’s also a little shadow — she wants to be by your side all day. She’s smart, curious, and playful. Like many JRTs, she can be mischievous and will grab a shoe to get your attention, but she responds well to redirection. She is also affectionate and snuggly, especially during nap time or at the end of the day. Dottie does bark a bit to communicate and is working on learning quieter ways to express herself. A doggie doorbell would help her communicate bathroom needs.
