Doris arrived at the shelter in July 2023 as a tiny, frightened puppy alongside her brother Dan. Barely a few weeks old, she’s known nothing but life behind shelter walls – growing up watching her friends leave for loving homes while she quietly stayed behind.

Doris is a gentle soul who is still nervous around new people and situations, but she’s also curious. You’ll often see her watching from a distance, taking everything in before slowly, cautiously, making her move. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, Doris will no doubt begin to blossom.

She would thrive in a home where she can go at her own pace, with someone who understands the rewards of earning a rescue dog’s trust. If you’re someone who believes that the quietest dogs often have the biggest hearts, Doris might just be the companion you’ve been waiting for.
