Meet Dotty! Dotty is an adorable 7.5 months old Jindo mix! Dotty’s mom was kept on a chain her whole life and living in harsh conditions. Dotty and his siblings were rescued with their mom and taken away from that horrible situation.
Dotty is super sweet and affectionate! He follows his foster mom around the house and sleeps quietly by her desk when she works. He gets along very well with his foster siblings, 2 dogs and cats. After settling down a bit, he becomes more playful. He will initiate play with Hazel (foster sister), but is respectful if Hazel doesn’t want to play. Dotty is very gentle and submissive, has no food aggression of any kind, not interested in toys and not destructive. He is very food motivated and will sit for treats.
Dotty is still working on potty training and other basic commands. He doesn’t like baths and will jump away when his paws are touched. Dotty loves chin and belly rubs! Dotty is crate trained. He sleeps in the crate at night with no problem. He used to protest and whine in the crate, but now has learned to settle down when inside.
Dotty is on the nervous and skittish side. He will flinch away if people make sudden movement or loud noises. He walks well on leash (doesn’t pull) but will try to run when other people approach. He is alert when he sees people on walks and growls a bit toward men. He is friendly with kids! But due to his shyness, we would recommend a home with older kids who will understand to give Dotty his space and time to open up.
We are looking for a home who understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog as a member of their family. Dotty is patiently waiting!
