About Dana

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Dana is a sweet 10-week-old boxer/shepherd mix searching for her forever family! Full of playful energy, she adores the company of other dogs and would truly blossom with a canine companion to teach her the ins and outs of indoor life. Dana’s affectionate nature and lively spirit make her a wonderful match for an active, loving home. Please note, puppies under 16 weeks will not be adopted out of state due to the rescue’s spay/neuter policy—all dogs must be altered before leaving Georgia. Additionally, siblings will not be adopted to the same household. If you have current pets, they must be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Hero Dog Rescue operates entirely through foster homes, so an approved application is required prior to scheduling a meet-and-greet, and a home visit will also be part of the adoption process. Dana is ready to bring joy and fun to a new family—make your home her happily ever after! Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
