WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- "Doe, a deer, a female deer..." Well, her face may look a bit like that of a deer, but the Doe currently residing at the Washington Animal Rescue League certainly isn't built like one.

With her long, short-legged body, we're guessing one of her ancestors must have been a basset hound. And we can say with certainty that she's adorable!

Doe is sweet, gentle, and a bit timid, although she has begun to gain confidence while sharing a den with two other, more outgoing, shelter residents.

This 1-year-old is looking for a quiet, loving, adult home-perhaps with another friendly dog-where she can continue to blossom. Could that be yours?
