About Dasher

Dasher is a 6-month-old male husky/lab mix puppy, weighing in at around 47 lbs and likely to grow into a large dog. Along with his eight siblings, Dasher was abandoned at just three weeks old and has come a long way from that rough start. He’s friendly, loving, and always quick to win hearts with his sweet, playful nature. Dasher gets along well with other dogs, people, and children. He has not been tested with cats yet, so that’s still an unknown. From his foster, Dasher is described as a fun, spunky companion who’s as happy racing around the yard as he is curling up on the couch for belly rubs. Smart and eager to please, he’s crate trained and housebroken, and adapts well to routines. Hot summer days don’t slow him down much—he enjoys staying cool with a treat or two. He’s fully vaccinated and will be neutered soon. If your home can meet his exercise needs and offer a comfy spot to rest, Dasher will fit right in. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
