Meet Dolly Parton

Meet Dolly Parton—a 3-year-old Doberman Pinscher weighing 63 pounds, with a gentle spirit and a quiet kind of magic that doesn’t need a spotlight to shine. Like her legendary namesake, she has a softness about her that draws you in and keeps you there. Since settling into her foster home, Dolly has really started to show us who she is—and she’s as sweet as they come. She’s affectionate in the most tender ways, offering soft kisses and happily shadowing her people from room to room. She’s the kind of companion who just wants to be with you, whether that’s lounging around the house or joining you for a peaceful car ride (where she is calm and quiet the entire time). Dolly is a low-key girl overall, happiest with a relaxed routine that includes time in the yard, a good game of fetch (she loves playing ball), and the occasional toy. She gets along well with other dogs, and is friendly with both men and women. While she hasn’t been around children yet, her gentle nature suggests she may do well with respectful kids. She does prefer not to be crated, as it causes her some stress, so she would thrive in a home where someone is around more often. At night, she sleeps soundly in a dog bed on the floor but will never turn down an invitation for a little morning cuddle session on the bed—her favorite encore. Dolly has been diagnosed with stage 2 Chronic Kidney Disease, and will need to be kept on medication and special renal food. She’ll need a patient and understanding adopter who can support her as she continues to adjust and manage her condition. When her condition is properly managed and she's kept on a schedule, she is house-trained. In return, she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, quiet companionship, and a heart full of love. If you’re looking for a devoted, easygoing companion who will stick by your side like your favorite song on repeat, Dolly Parton might just be your perfect match. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
