Dolly

Affectionate, Gentle & Curious 

Dolly has quickly become a shelter favourite! Consensus amongst the Shelter Volunteers is that Dolly “is a real sweetheart” 💖

BIO: 

• Shepherd/Husky Mix, 3 yrs, Female
• Medium (60 lb), Medium-energy level
• Dolly is an unclaimed stray found in a Northern Ontario community
• Dolly is house-trained, microchipped and has her core vaccinations  (will be spayed soon) 

ABOUT DOLLY: 

• Both calm and active, she loves hanging in the backyard and she’s just as happy to take up a space on the sofa beside you
• Dolly is an inquisitive dog and curious and alert of her surroundings
• She walks mostly loose-leash, but will stop and focus on small critters she sees along the way
• Dolly enjoys being around people and loves being pet, getting belly rubs and ear scritches
• She is treat-motivated and her disposition to human bonding means she is very trainable.

DOLLY’S IDEAL HOME:

• Besides being by your side, one of her favourite things is getting outside for a walk and would benefit from a household that enjoys walking adventures and hikes
• Dolly enjoys backyard time where she can do her thing -  observe and use her inquisitiveness to explore and discover
• Dolly would benefit from continued leash manners training. She has a strong prey drive to small critters he sees on a walk and she’s super observant, nary a squirrel gets by her!
• Dolly would be a great match for older kids that understand that slower and calmer is better
• We are not recommending her for a home with a cat due to her prey drive, she may get along with another dog in the home but would be best on her own for now 
• Dolly would do best in a home without shared walls as she can be vocal at times

Dolly is a well-balanced dog ⚖️ . She is curious and playful and loves interacting with people and  leaning in for affection.
