ADOPTED!! by Angela
Dolly is a 10-year old cremello Tennessee Walking horse mare who came to SAFE with another mare, Pomme. Both were sweet as can be and were adopted quickly! Although they were animal control seizures, having been found in a state of intense neglect — skin and bones and infested with lice — it’s clear from their gentle personalities that they had some history somewhere along the line of positive experiences with people. Dolly, now named Rose lives on a beautiful property in Vancouver, WA with her new best friend, Angela.
