Lina has been adopted! ❤️🐾

Thank you to Dolly's Dream for making this possible and to Lina’s adopters for welcoming her into their lives.

Dolly’s Dream helps set their dogs up for success by sending them home with essentials like a leash, collar, harness, bed, toys, food and they cover the adoption fee!

A big thank-you to the volunteers behind our enrichment program! 🐾

Our volunteers spend their time preparing enrichment for the dogs in our care, from stuffing KONGs to making frozen treats and other activities that help keep their minds stimulated and their days a little more fun.

We'd love to keep these enrichment activities going, but we need your help keeping our supplies stocked!

Right now, our enrichment team is looking for:
Medium, Large, & Extra-Large KONGs
Bully Sticks
Silicone Muffin Trays

If you'd like to help, you can purchase an item from our wish list or donate toward enrichment supplies. Every donation helps us continue providing enrichment for the dogs in our care!

Still waiting for their chance 💜

Sasha, Bubbles, and Lina are our three Dolly's Dream dogs, and they’re all still looking for homes of their own.

Dolly’s Dream was created in honor of Dolly, a “Square Head” who showed her adopter just how loving, sweet and gentle these dogs can be. The program helps give dogs like her a second chance while breaking down the stereotypes surrounding them.

When you adopt a Dolly’s Dream dog, their adoption fee is covered, and they go home with a bed, crate, and a bag of treats and toys, thanks to the support of Dolly’s Dream.

Meet Sasha, Bubbles, and Lina and see if one of them could be the one you’ve been looking for.
