Hi, I'm Dahlia Rose, a 3-year-old, 56lb Labrador mix with a huge heart and an even bigger personality!
If you're looking for a loving, affectionate best friend who wants to be part of everything you do, I might just be your girl. My foster family says I'm full of enthusiasm, cuddles, and charm. I even earned the nickname 'Dahlia Roo' because of my adorable kangaroo jumps when I get excited!
I love toys, especially squeaky balls and stuffy toys, and I'm happiest when I'm included in everyday life. Whether it's walks, car rides with my nose out the window, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch, I just want to be near my humans and soak up all the affection I can get.
I'm an active girl who gets excited exploring the world, so I can still zig-zag and pull a bit on walks, but I respond well to redirection and continue improving. I may notice other dogs in the neighborhood, but a simple 'no' helps me refocus and happily continue on my walk. I have playful bursts of energy, especially in the mornings and around dinnertime, and a good game of fetch is one of my favorite ways to burn energy. After playtime, I settle down nicely and love cuddling beside you.
I'm food motivated, eager to please, and already know commands like 'sit,' 'stay,' 'wait,' and 'no.' I'm also working on building confidence when left home alone for short periods. I'm not destructive, but I may bark or pace a little while waiting for you to come home. With patience and continued training, I know I'll keep improving.
I do well with kids, other dogs, cats, and busy households with visitors. I could thrive as the only dog soaking up all the attention or with another dog companion.
More than anything, I'm looking for a family that will include me in their adventures, play fetch with me, take me on walks, and save me a cozy spot on the couch. I have so much love to give and can't wait to find my forever family.
