Meet An Adoptable Dog

About Me

Name: Dottie Nov 24
Sex: Female
Spayed/ Neutered: Yes
Breed: Beagle (long coat)
Weight: 19.3 lbs
Height: 16 in
Estimated Birthdate: 2/11/2016
Fence Needed: Well...maybe.  She would appreciate and enjoy her own yard.  But, if you are committed to leash walking, she would be fine.  However, always bear in mind that hounds bay and Dottie does, too.  The minute she hits the yard without a leash, she bays. On a leash, she is quieter.  She also bays inside if she has to go outside to potty.  When you first start your walk, she may sing the song of her people but she settles into the walk quickly.   
Location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Adoption Fee: $200

My Story

Date into Rescue:11/14/24

Reason for being in rescue: Owner release to critter care.

Special Needs: Dottie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.

What kind of home would be best for me: Meet Dottie, an eight-year-old beagle who’s ready to become your best new cuddle buddy. After spending much of her life as a hunting dog, she’s now looking to settle down and be showered with love and affection in a cozy home. Dottie’s not on the hunt for prey anymore - she’s after a doggie bed (or a comfy spot on the couch) and a human to snuggle up with.

This sweet girl is everything you want in a companion: kind, compassionate, affectionate, and oh-so-loving. It might sound like an exaggeration, but meet Dottie, and you’ll see - her gentle, loving nature speaks for itself.

Dottie is an absolute charmer who will greet everyone she meets with excitement, eager for pets, cuddles, and attention. She is calm and easygoing, making her a perfect addition to many different households - whether it’s a single person, a couple, or a family. If you have children, Dottie would do best in a home with kids aged 12 or older, as she enjoys a peaceful environment and is a small girl who loves her space.

Please note - Dottie is a hound and hounds have a distinctive voice.  Dottie uses hers regularly.  An apartment would not be a good idea for her unless your neighbors all have hounds, too,

What is my personality like:  Dottie is all heart. She loves everyone she meets - dogs, cats, and humans alike - and is always ready to share affection.

While Dottie walks nicely on a leash, her beagle nose often pulls her when she catches a scent. She would benefit from some basic training on commands like sit, down, stay, and come. But honestly, who has the heart to resist spoiling this sweet, middle-aged lady! The best way to her heart is with cuddles and treats (because, of course, she’s a beagle!).

If you’re a beagle person, Dottie’s signature “whoooo” will steal your heart every time she picks up a scent. If you’re new to the breed, that sound may take some getting used to - but you’ll soon see why it’s so endearing. Dottie is always on the lookout for her next scent, so she’ll need a home with a securely fenced yard.

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who just wants to relax and cuddle by your side, Dottie is the one for you. Meeting her will melt your heart and bringing her into your home will make your world brighter, happier, and full of unconditional love. Don’t miss out on this special girl!

How do I act when I first meet new people:  “Hello, I love you! Love me too!” That’s Dottie in a nutshell. She’ll approach everyone with open arms (well, figuratively!) and expect lots of pets and cuddles in return. If you meet Dottie and don’t immediately fall in love, to quote The Princess Bride, it’s “inconceivable!”

Tips and Tidbits: Dottie was born on 2/11/2016.

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Potential Adopters

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.

If you would like to receiving our monthly newsletters and learn more about how to support dogs in need, please email info@carolinapoodlerescue.org or fill out our contact form and ask to join our mailing list.

Thank you for considering CPR!
