Hi, I’m Dorothee! I’m a smart, loving, and energetic girl, and I’m ready to find my forever home! Inside, I’m pretty calm, but I get super excited for walks and sometimes I’ll do little hops because I’m so happy. I love getting pets and will push my whole body up against you to ask for more attention. If you let me on the couch, I’ll cuddle right up next to you and beg for belly rubs or a good scratch behind the ears. I’m a total cuddle bug when I feel comfortable!
I can be a bit of a sneaky counter-surfer when no one’s around (I just love food). I can get a little too excited when I want pets, sometimes nudging you with my head or pawing at you to get your attention. I can be a little impatient when I want treats, but I’m learning to be more patient.
I’m super loyal—once I trust you, I’ll be by your side forever. I’m also really smart, and I love learning new things! With the right training, I could pick up lots of tricks. I’m motivated by treats, so I’ll have a blast impressing you with everything I can learn!
I LOVE my walks. I can be reactive to other dogs and sometimes cats, but I’ve improved a lot, thanks to walking tools and lots of positive reinforcement to help me stay focussed. I have the potential to make friends with a calm respectful dog after a very slow and proper introduction.
I’d do best in a home where I won’t be caught by surprise by other dogs in tight spaces such as elevators or lobbies. I need someone who understands reactivity and is willing to help me keep working on it.
If you think you might be the right person for me, I can’t wait to start our new chapter together.
