About Dolly
Dolly is a stunning, medium-sized brindle girl with a gentle, low-moderate energy level and an affectionate personality. She’s playful yet easygoing, happiest when she’s with her people and would be thrilled to find a home all to herself, or have a desexed, male furry friend who loves to wrestle and play as much as she does!
Dolly is crate-trained, walks politely on a leash, and has impressive obedience skills after completing a "Real-World Basic Obedience Package," where she graduated with flying colours! Her trainer, who is currently fostering her, provides ongoing support and can offer advice to help her new family ensure a smooth transition and continued training success.
*A few words from her trainer “Dolly has demonstrated a terrific level of adaptability and resilience, and gained a newfound sense of confidence and serenity.”
Dolly is currently housed with a dog-savvy cat, and she knows how to respect the boundaries of both feline and canine friends. She enjoys playing with her cat companion and listens well if other pets ask for space. She has a slightly more dominant personality, however her ideal home could have other playful animals who enjoy a mix of fun and relaxation.
Given her past experience, Dolly would be best suited for a home with:
- Someone who has an interest in dog training or is willing to continue lessons with her current trainer.
- A moderate energy level household where her daily training can be continued.
- A yard with secure fencing and gates, with space for her to explore and relax in the sunshine.
- A home with no, or with older children (10+), as she’s a medium-sized girl who loves company and can be a bit boisterous when playing.
Dolly was rescued from a difficult situation, arriving to us malnourished and needing to learn how to fit in the human world. With dedicated training, she has blossomed into a well-rounded companion with improved confidence and resilience. She’s affectionate, enjoys car trips, and is the best company when out running errands or lounging at home after a walk.
She makes her carers and all who meet her laugh at her funny little antics and short lived ‘turbo zoomies’.
If you think Dolly sounds like the perfect match for your family or would like to learn more, please reach out!
This sweet brindle girl is waiting to find her forever home, where she’ll receive all the love and attention she deserves.
TD;DR:
- low-moderate energy levels
- Needs an owner who have time to continue Dolly’s daily training (support from current trainer available)
- Would like to have a playful desexed adult large male dog, as a playmate and role model - however an only-dog home would definitely be considered.
- Needs a new home with a medium to large yard with 1.8m secure fences and gates.
- Dolly's new family must enjoy having a friend accompany them on errands and watching tv!

Medical notes
Dolly has a small, but noticeable lump on her head. We are unsure what caused it however the vet said it feels like a calcification, and is nothing to concerned about.
Adoption details
Please note- we do not work on a first in best dressed basis, we assess all applications to choose the home that we believe will best match the animal.
If you believe one of our animals would be a good match for your home please send us a detailed email us with some information about the people and any other animals in your home as well as the type of lifestyle you can offer a new rescue pet. We are volunteerswho run the rescue around families, paid employment and other commitments so your patience is appreciated.
We do require any other dogs in your home meeting our foster animal before they head home with you. This enables us to assess their compatibility and helps prevent them being returned and creating more confusion/insecurities for the foster animal.
All our animals are available for a two week trial with full refund. They are also covered by a lifetime return policy. If you ever find yourself unable to care for or keep your pet please contact us and they will come back into our care, this is a condition of our Adoptions.
