About this Dog
Dorothy: The Puppy Nobody Picked... and It Shows Meet Dorothy: a lovable, baffled little soul who somehow made it through puppyhood without ever learning how to “dog.” Why? Because she was a breeder release puppy—aka, the one nobody picked. Yep. She aged out of the “adorable-for-sale” bin and was kindly donated to the rescue once it became clear that her strong suit was not being marketable. Honestly? Their loss. Your gain. No Social Skills. Zero. Zilch. Dorothy is what happens when you skip playdates, never leave the yard, and grow up with no one to teach you what a leash—or a couch—is. She has the social finesse of a stunned potato. She’s not mean. She’s not wild. She’s just...confused. Meeting new people? Panic mode. Loud noises? Oh no, absolutely not. Leash walking? Only if a braver dog is leading the charge. Eye contact? Why are you doing that? Stop. BUT—with time, patience, and a strong canine role model—she starts to transform. Slowly. Like a shy, slightly clumsy caterpillar who forgot how metamorphosis works but is really trying. A Work in Progress (And Kinda Perfect That Way) Once Dorothy trusts you (and stops assuming you’re trying to abduct her), something magical happens: you’ll catch her being goofy. Like... teenage-goofy. Awkward zoomies. Gentle tail wiggles. An unexpected nose boop. You’ll see glimmers of the fun-loving pup she never got to be. It’s like watching a sitcom character go through character development in real time. You will cheer. You will cry. You will probably mop up a few accidents. Dorothy’s Ideal Setup: A secure, fenced yard so she can wander safely while pretending she’s brave. A confident dog buddy to help her decode this strange place called Earth. A human with low expectations and high patience. Bonus points if you’ve ever been described as “chill.” No pressure. No chaos. Just love, snacks, and the occasional pep talk. Not Looking For: Apartments (thin walls, scary elevators, too many vibes). High-energy households where she’s expected to, like, know things. Anyone who expects her to “just warm up right away.” Spoiler: she won’t. Dorothy isn’t broken—she’s just wildly undereducated in the ways of affection, adventure, and indoor living. But give her time, and she’ll become your most loyal, weirdly charming sidekick. She’s not a finished product—but she is a masterpiece in progress. If you're down to be her emotional support human while she figures out which end of the leash is which, you just might be her hero.
