My name is Dahlia (Dolly for short!) and I am the sweet-sweet-sweet! History I landed in a high-kill shelter in KY as a stray. Very bad luck for me, as many of the dogs there end up euthanized due to lack of space to house them or resources to care for them.

I am so grateful and am passionate about making every day a joyful one, and spreading happiness and smiles everywhere I go! Personality I am an extraordinarily sweet and happy girl who is typically pretty calm but has adorable bursts of enthusiastic energy!…
