This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
Meet Dorothy, a young, sweet, and friendly girl, eager to find her forever home. We are thinking this pretty young lady is a Black Lab mix with a beautiful sleek coat.
Dorothy's intelligence shines through in every interaction, and her playful nature makes her a delightful companion. She adores exploring new places and has a special love for water, making every outing an adventure. Dorothy's friendly demeanor ensures she's a hit with everyone she meets, radiating joy and warmth.
Dorothy is house trained, walks good on the leash, and is working on crate training but needs a little more practice. Basic group training classes is recommended to help her learn commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you!
If you're looking for a loving, smart, and playful friend, Dorothy is the perfect choice to bring endless smiles and fun into your home.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
