06/22/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/22/17 14:20 Basic Info: Dolla A1115000 is a 3yr old male gray & white short haired mix who was purchased off of someone selling puppies at a month old & is being surrendered due to too many pets. He hasn’t been seen by a vet since 2016 & currently has some skin allergies. Socialization: Dolla is shy for several minutes with strangers. He was gentle, exuberant, relaxed & playful with the adults and 2yr & 3yr old children in the home. Dolla hasn’t bitten/scratched any person or animal. He lived with 5 dogs & 2 neutered cats for about 8mths (cats) and was relaxed, playful and very rough at play with them at times. Behavior: Dolla isn’t bothered by the following: having his food/food bowl, toys/treats touched/moved, being moved off of furniture or being brushed. He hasn’t been disturbed while sleeping/resting or had his nails trimmed. Dolla struggles to get away during baths. If someone unfamiliar approaches the home/family member he’ll bark, back away some then approach to greet. For A New Family to Know: Dolla is described as playful, excitable & affectionate with a medium-high activity level. When the owner is home Dolla follows them around. Dolla enjoys ball, stuffed, rope toys & games of tug & chase. He sleeps in a dog crate, eats Beneful dry food 2x a day & is housebroken. Dolla is an indoor mostly dog that is let out to the yard 3-4x a day and his known commands are “sit” & “go home” (to go into his crate) that he doesn’t always listen to. Dolla is walked around the neighborhood 2x a day where he pulls on his leash at times. Intake Behavior: Dolla had a loose, wiggly body (especially after I gave him some treats) & allowed handling. He allowed to be scanned (-), collared & taken pictures of. Dolla walked alongside us (his owner & I) to his kennel where the owner told him to “go home” and he entered the kennel on his own after a couple of tries.

06/30/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Dolla for dolla, you won’t find a more loving and fabulous dog than our sweet Dolla. Part of his human family for his entire life, he was surrendered as there are currently too many pets in the home. His medical intake note states: “SUPER calm and SUPER friendly!! Pet leans into me when I scratch his cheeks and ears”, and I couldn’t agree more. Snuggly, soft and gently wiggly, Dolla loves putting his head against my chest for cuddling, loves to be petted, and is simply the best cuddler on four legs. It was hot and humid, and Dolla’s tongue was hanging out, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying a good cuddle. Dolla lived with a 2 and 3 yo child and was gentle, relaxed and playful with everyone in the home. He also lived with 5 dogs and 2 cats and was also relaxed and playful, though sometimes rough at play. Dolla slept in his crate (“go home”), isn’t fond of baths, is housetrained, doesn’t guard his stuff, loves treats, and enjoys playing with toys, tug and chase being favorites. I adored my time with this snuggle meister. He has no match in the sweetest of cuddles department. He’s great on leash, takes treats nicely, notices other dogs with interest but no pulling, and hopped right back into his kennel when our time together was over. He needs TLC for his coat, as his former owner switched his food brand, which he may be allergic to. Dolla will make you feel that there is no one on the planet that he’d rather spend time with, and I love that about him. So you will! Don’t pass up the chance to meet our snuggle boy today.

    Please Share share share sweet Dolla! He needs lots of shares to find his forever home. Please someone adopt or foster this boy before it’s too late. He’s in a bad situation. He needs out of this terrible place along with his housemate sweet Sarah. Please help this dog get out alive! He doesn’t have any time. His housemates, Sunshine, Bubba, Buttabiscuit have been rescued. Now it’s Sarah and his turn to be saved, too! Please don’t let these two die because the other three were saved or due to the fact that the owner was irresponsible and couldn’t keep these beautiful dogs. Please adopt, foster, rescue, and pledge to SAVE sweet handsome Dolla?and sweet, beautiful Sarah! ?

    I up from my pledge from $50 to $100 total for a rescue to pull sweet Dolla – Please, any New Hope Rescue, save this sweet boy. He deserves to make it out alive after his awful humans dumped him and his entire family. Every other pup he came in with made it out- please don’t let Dolla die 🙁

    Let’s not let it get to the point where he is on the TBD list- lets save him now!

    So happy for Dolla! I can’t say how “thankful” my heart is that all these dogs are safe! I know that the previous owner is beyond ecstatic for these beautiful dogs to all be leaving this facility alive. It’s unbelievable. This is something that wouldn’t happen in a situation without technology. Networking these dogs and all the others are clearly saving lives. This is such a great way to help these sweet dogs to be seen and heard. So please continue to share and sweet dogs and cats and PLEASE spay and neuter them. The problem isn’t the shelter. The shelter wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the overpopulation of pets and persons who neglect them. Share Adopt Pledge Foster Volunteer to save more!
    Wishing you the best sweet Dolla! You are finally safe, answered prayers for sure!?

    I tried replying here before. I adopted both Sarah and Dolla. Dolla came home the next week as he was spade. We have had them almost a year now and rest assured they are both well loved and cared for and beyond spoiled. They live in the country and want for nothing. They are the king and queen of the house and never ever slept in a cage. Always in bed with us. We love them to thee moon and back they are our babies. You can go to E C King on instagram and see them there. Much love to all who helped.

    And one more thing, Dolla no longer looks the same. He has no skin issues and is a healthy 100 pounds. I hope everyone who cares for him and Sarah read this.

      I just want to say “thank you” for the update on these sweet dogs. I’m so happy for them! I’ll be making an Instagram account soon and I’m anxious to see them. I wish all of the dogs and cats in the shelters were happy endings like these sweet fur babies. Take care and God Bless! ?
