Meet Dorothy

Smart, steady, and oh-so-sweet, Dorothy is the biggest of our Golden Girls litter at 12 lbs! She was born around August 1, 2026. Her mom is a 15 lb Shih Tzu, but Dorothy is a mixed breed expected to reach a medium size, and she's already showing she'll be a sturdy, solid companion. Dorothy does well with cats, other dogs, and respectful children, so she'd fit into many different family setups. She's a sweet girl who's ready for a family committed to positive-reinforcement training and all the fun of puppyhood. If you want a dependable best friend to share your days with, Dorothy is waiting to meet you The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
