About Dottie

Siberian Husky / Samoyed
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Dottie is a 2- to 3-year-old Husky mix. She has been in foster care through South County Animal Rescue since February. Dottie is an absolute love! She is happiest snuggling with her people and getting pets and scratches. She might be part lap dog! From Dottie's foster mom, 'Dottie is excited to see other dogs on walks, but listens to 'leave it' and keeps walking. She is particular about who she shares her space with and would do well as an only dog or with a respectful dog who understands boundaries. Within two weeks, she bonded with the resident retriever. They play really well together. Dottie will give a quick bark when she needs space, but she's never shown any aggression. She initially showed some protectiveness of toys, but that only lasted about a week. She has never shown aggression or protection over food. She happily eats her meals in the kitchen with my retriever and cat. Dottie was initially too interested in my cat and would chase after her, but she never tried to nip or bite her. After about two months, she stopped chasing the cat and by three months, both dogs and the cat could relax on the couch together. She shows minor separation anxiety, but a Kong toy filled with peanut butter is usually enough to distract her and keep her calm when foster leaves. She has counter surfed in the kitchen and chewed small holes in blankets. She might benefit from crate training to help counter separation anxiety. Dottie only gets into things when home alone. Dottie would do well with another dog that she could follow. She loves to play fetch, but only with a soft, squeaky toy. She's shown no interest in tennis balls. She needs a fenced area where she can run free to get her occasional zoomies out. She loves to run and play with the resident dog, but also calms down and relaxes well. She has never tried to jump over the fence or dig under it. She occasionally will dig a small hole in the garden to lay in.'
