dottie allie  Basset Hound


Adopted!
Sweet shy Dottie now Lottie is slowly coming around.  Like some of the other shy Puppy Mill Breeders, she is taking much time and patience, even though
enjoying a warm home and good food, to trust people.  Thank you Deb and Sam  for working with sweet Lottie.


Dottie had a dental and her spay. This sweet girl was one of our very shy former breeders and we were concerned she might be here awhile. Most of the other Bassets would approach visitor after visitor with tails wagging to say "please pick me!" while she would walk the outer perimeter of the yard against the fence. Last Sat a wonderful couple stopped by to see the dogs and possibly adopt one. I asked the wife (a Hospice worker) to sit in one of the big lawn chairs, then picked up Dottie and placed in her lap. At first Dottie kept trying to escape, but this neat lady was patient and just kept gently talking to her and petting. After several minutes, Dottie's entire body completely relaxed, melted against her and the personality change was amazing! Venee smiled and said, "this is our girl." By the end of that hour, Dottie was following Venee around everywhere she went and would sit, make eye contact and stay waiting as she approached without running away, we LOVE watching this happen! Dottie is now living in her permanent home and doing great - hooray!
Dottie Allie is a female about 5 years old (born 9/14/03)

Because we do not have any "real" history on the basset rescues we DO NOT place with families with children under 6 years of age. This is for your
child's protection.

If you do not live in the Spokane area, transportation IS at your expense.

Adoption fee ($125) barely covers S/N, immunizations, and microchip. Senior bassets cost is reduced.
