My name is Dottie, and I’m the most loyal and loveable stuffed animal you will ever meet. I am deaf, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I can read lips AND I know SASL [Stuffed Animal Sign Language]. I also suffer from a condition called ‘Elephant Paws’, which is rare in stuffed dogs but is really common in stuffed elephants. The condition basically makes my legs kind of shaped like bellbottom pants! I was born this way, and my last owner thought it was cute… before she abandoned me.

Where Is She Now?

Graduate of December 2008 petting zoo. Adopted in early 2009.

Dottie was our first successful adoption, completed in January of 2009.
