Dolly

Meet DOLLY! Sweet Dolly is about 8 years old, 10 pounds, female, black and white Shih Tzu. She is so sweet, calm and a friendly gal! While she is older, Dolly loves to get attention from her humans. Everyone she meets adores this sweet girl! She settles down nicely to hang out with her people and has done well with other dogs (both young and old) in her NC foster home. Dolly has great house manners, including being housetrained. Poor Dolly has not always been properly taken care of and was found in terrible matted/dirty condition with a painful eye injury by animal control in NC. This poor girl was so scared but little did she know at the time how great her life would become...a temp foster in NC ensured she had necessary surgery to remove the injured eye and took care of her until PetConnect Rescue was able to come to her rescue and bring her to the DC area to a great foster. So now Dolly has left her horrible past behind and is ready to find her new, and this time, forever home. Although she is a senior with a slower gait and more limited vision, she has so much love and happiness to give to her new family for many years! Dolly would love to curl up in your lap to hang out on a summer evening; she loves to cuddle and get pets! Dolly will do best in a relatively quiet, laid-back home! Dolly is up-to-date on vaccines, preventatives, and has had bloodwork and a dental! She is eager to find her person(s) to love! ***Please note that our first step is to fill out an application (it does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Dolly is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.
