Dolly 3633 - Doberman Pinscher Dog for Adoption in Oakland Park, Florida

10/02/26.
Sweet DOLLY,

approximately 4 years old, was found wandering in the Redlands with no microchip and no one coming forward to claim her.

We immediately rushed her to VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital because we were extremely concerned that Dolly could still have puppies inside her that she was unable to deliver.

Thankfully, X-rays showed no puppies — but what the veterinarians found was still very concerning.

Dolly’s temperature was a dangerously high 105°. She has congestion in her lungs. X-rays also showed arthritis around her legs joints And she is clearly fighting an infection. Dolly is now hospitalized, receiving IV fluids and antibiotics.

We don’t know what Dolly has been through. We don’t know where she came from or how long she has been struggling on her own. But we do know one thing...

She is safe now, and we are not giving up on her.

The medical bills are already adding up, and we need our village to help us give Dolly the care she desperately needs.

Please consider making a donation for Dolly today. Every dollar helps us continue saying YES to dogs like her.
