Dolly Finds Her Do

Dolly was transferred to us from another shelter in Georgia, looking forward to starting a new life here in Toronto While she was sociable with dogs at her previous location, she had to go through a transfer quarantine period upon arrival, which limited her interactions with other dogs As a result, she became frustrated and started displaying reactive behaviour. Initially, we attempted to alleviate her stress with medication, but we knew Dolly needed more help.

Recognizing the need for a long-term solution, our training team stepped in to help Dolly with her reactivity. Despite struggling to adjust to the bustling city life of Toronto, she made significant progress under the guidance of our trainers Her unwanted behaviours, such as leash pulling and reactivity, improved over time, and she confidently strolled down the busy streets as if she owned the city!

Despite her improvement, given her true nature as a country girl at heart, we decided to find her a forever home better suited to her needs fields and rolling in the grass, living a fulfilling life in the place that she truly feels comfortable in.

We’re happy to share that Dolly has found her new home! A staff member in Georgia shared this update with us,

“I am delighted to announce that she was adopted two weeks ago and is doing exceptionally well in her new home!"

We are overjoyed to hear this update and wish nothing but the best for Dolly

While we weren’t able to handpick her forever home ourselves, our training team worked with Dolly to get her to where she is today By earning Dolly’s trust, we became part of her journey, and we are so happy to have set her up for success! Dolly is such a great example of how far we'll go to help animals find their forever homes!
