Meet Dahlia! Dahlia is a 4 month old Shepherd mix that is ready to sprint her way into your home (and heart). In her time since being sprung from the shelter, she has been settling in with her older foster brothers and would love an older, confident dog to continue showing her the ropes. Her favorite activities currently include doing some sick parkour around the house and watching the world go by from the front window. She also LOVES her humans and will do anything she can to please you! She doesn’t quite understand that she’s going to be a bigger dog and is very content snuggling in your lap. Like most shepherds, Dahlia is very smart but very stubborn. She’s doing very well with her housetraining skills as well as her basic obedience and manners, but would benefit from an experienced shepherd owner that can take the time to help her be the best pup she can be. She truly is the sweetest bug and will make a very loyal companion!

We would prefer a fully fenced in yard for Dahlia and a home with kids 10 and older please.

The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.


IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
