About Dream Ahead

Meet Dream Ahead! Dream is a 1.5-year-old Lab/Poodle mix, weighing about 40 pounds. She has a warm and friendly nature, always eager to be near her people, whether that means napping by your side or joining you on errands around the neighborhood. While she enjoys greeting everyone she meets, she can be a bit shy and submissive as she gets accustomed to new surroundings. Walking well on a leash, Dream is currently in the process of potty training and learning basic commands. Though she’s had a few indoor accidents and feels a bit anxious in her crate, she is making progress every day and seems to be a quick learner overall. Unlike many dogs, Dream isn't much interested in toys; instead, she prefers lying next to you and soaking up affection. She is currently fostered with a Golden Retriever sister, and while they get along well, Dream also appreciates occasional alone time. If you're seeking a gentle companion who simply wants to be close, Dream Ahead might be the perfect match for you. Dream is fostered in Brooklyn, NY, and her adoption fee is $500.
