Dorothy

We might not know anything about Dorothy's past, but we do know her future is brighter!

Somehow Dorothy ended up in the local pound, and that's how she made her way to SAFE Hedland. She was extremely timid and nervous, she had clearly never walked on a lead before and trusting people was a bit risky. She was terrified to walk on a lead and it ook a lot of effort to get her walk through the carers front door, inside isn't something that brings her joy or comfort, even now.

Dorothy's carers have worked hard to gain her trust and build her confidence, but it was the resident dog that really helped her settle in and gave her the reassurance she needed to feel safe in her foster home. She's not the biggest fan of toys and would much rather a big playful doggy friend to play with. She absolutely adores her foster brother, they play all night and even cuddle up to sleep together. She would thrive in a home with another doggy companion who could help her settle in and keep her company.

She was initially scared of the child in the house, but he was sure to win her over and spent time every day building a bond with her until he won her over, proving that with a little time and patience is all that's needed.

Dorothy is ready to head off to her new home and is looking for someone who understands that life hasn't always been kind, so sometimes it takes her a little while to feel relaxed, but she is the sweetest girl and will shine in a home that gives her the time she needs to settle in.

If you're local to Hedland we can set up a meet and greet with Dorothy so you can see for yourself just how beautiful she really is, just send through an application and we'll arrange it. If you're not in town we can arrange a phone call with her foster carers who can chat in more detail about Dorothy.
