About this Dog
LOCATION: San Antonio, TXDOB: 11/16/2024Transport is available nationwide for the perfect family!Dottie is a spirited blue Merle Great Dane puppy whose journey is as inspiring as her charming personality. At just 6 months old, Dottie has already faced more challenges than many dogs do in a lifetime. Surrendered by a breeder at only 7 weeks, she was born with a genetic malformation of her spine, which affected her back legs and left her significantly smaller than her littermates. Because of her disability, she was separated from the rest of her family, a difficult start for such a young pup.When Dottie arrived at her foster home, she could barely stand, but her feisty spirit shone brightly. It didn’t take long for her foster family to recognize her determination; Dottie wanted nothing more than to be part of the action. They immediately set to work helping her strengthen her legs through a series of gentle exercises. They encouraged her to stand while eating and motivated her to take small steps to reach her food. Within just a few days, her will to thrive became evident, and her progress was truly heartwarming.Dottie is a testament to resilience. She has made incredible strides in her physical abilities and learns new things every day. One of her proudest moments came when she discovered how to hop up onto the couch and bed all by herself, a joyful achievement that reflects her growing strength and confidence. As she continues to grow, Dottie has already gone through two wheelchairs, adapting her mobility aids to suit her needs.Dottie’s journey has not been without its medical challenges. She has undergone X-rays of her spine and hips and consulted with a neurologist, who confirmed the genetic malformation affecting her spine. Although this condition has posed obstacles, Dottie is now starting physical therapy, focusing on building her strength, balance, and mobility. Her foster family is committed to supporting her as she develops, ready to adapt her care as necessary.With her sweet and playful demeanor, Dottie captures the hearts of everyone she meets. Her determination is unmatched, inspiring those around her to appreciate the power of resilience and love. As she continues her journey, Dottie reminds us all that with patience, support, and a fierce spirit, anything is possible.Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

Contribute to Dottie's Stash!
100% of Dottie's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Dottie.
Adopt Dottie and Receive Dottie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Dottie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Dottie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Dottie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Dottie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Dottie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Dottie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Dottie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Dottie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
