About Dublin

Dublin walked into rescue on March 10th, 2026, having barely experienced the world outside his former home. At around 1.5 years old, he’s a wire-haired mix—likely some Husky and Golden Retriever—in a solid, medium-sized frame. Right from the start, Dublin set himself apart from his shyer sister, Quinn, coming out of his shell with social charm and playful curiosity. He greets new people and experiences with interest, and he’s been learning the simple pleasures of real dog life: discovering soft beds, safe spaces, good food, and the comfort of gentle hands. Visually, Dublin is striking: his wavy golden and blond coat turns heads, giving him a showy look that gets even better on breezy days. But it’s his good-natured, friendly approach that really wins people over. Dublin is gentle yet confident, plays well with other dogs, and is comfortable around children. He’s still new to home life, gradually settling in, but he’s already showing how adaptable and loving he can be. Cat compatibility isn’t known yet. He’ll thrive with a family ready to help him keep exploring the world, preferably with a fenced yard where he can chase scents and soak up the sun. Dublin’s looking for a lifelong companion to match his loyalty and affection. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
