Calling all the beautiful people who have a special place in their hearts for giving pups second chances! This gorgeous senior girl desperately deserves to be shown how wonderful life truly can be when she is loved! Meet Doreen, a pup with a heartbreaking past but a bright future, thanks to all of you!

Doreen was found with her very sick guardian in their home by the team at the Hollister Animal Shelter. While Doreen's guardian was rushed to the hospital, Doreen was taken into custody by the shelter. Sadly, Doreen's guardian passed away shortly after making it to the hospital. Although the shelter team did all that they could, Doreen was still very scared by the loud and unfamiliar environment.

Although Doreen had a rough beginning, she quickly became a favorite with the shelter staff and really seemed to warm up once another dog is present. Now that we have met and spent some time with Doreen, we believe that she would do best in a home where there are other dogs to show her the ropes and give her the support she needs to learn that the outside world doesn't have to be scary.
