To learn more about Dorothy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org

Dorothy will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one-event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs.

Dorothy needs one more vaccination before she is adoption-ready. We expect that to happen 4-27-26, so she will be ready to meet you at one of our adoption events over the weekend.

Dorothy is part of the "Spotty Dotty" pups and just might be the heart of the bunch. With her soft eyes, floppy ears, and little speckled markings, she has that sweet, gentle look that draws you right in.

She's reported to be social and loving, the kind of puppy who's happy to be close to her people and along for the ride wherever life takes her. Whether she's being held or exploring something new, Dorothy has a calm, easygoing presence that makes her a joy to be around.

Like her namesake, she's ready to find her way home, and she'd love nothing more than a family to stick by through every adventure.
