Name: Dahlia Age: 8 months Breed: Retriever mix Size: 30 lbs Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org At just 8 months old, Dahlia already has a personality that’s impossible to miss. Even though she hasn’t been with us long, she made herself right at home — and in our hearts — almost instantly. She’s the kind of pup who tilts her head when you talk, as if she’s truly listening to every word (and honestly, it feels like she is). Dahlia is wonderful with other dogs and loves spending her time romping around the yard, stretching her legs, or keeping a watchful (but polite!) eye out for the mailman. She’s not loud or unruly — just a happy, easygoing girl who brings a calm, joyful energy wherever she goes. What really makes Dahlia special is her contagious happiness. She has that pure, youthful joy that makes every day feel a little brighter. Whether she’s playing outside or simply soaking up your attention, she’s the kind of companion who makes a house feel like home. Heartworm negative and full of love, Dahlia is ready to grow up alongside her forever family. If you’re looking for the perfect pup to welcome into your life this season, Dahlia is ready to spring right into your heart.
