Ideal home:

 

Dorset would thrive in a home with someone who understands the puppy phase and is ready to provide the toys, training and gentle boundaries she needs to grow into her best self. She would love to be treated as part of the family and to join her humans on all of life’s little adventures, exploring, learning and sharing special moments together.

 

Dorset is a little soul with a big heart, ready to bring calm, curiosity and endless love to a family who will cherish every moment with her.
