About Danika

Danika was found abandoned with her companion, Dalton, living in an empty house, and finally rescued in June 2026. This affectionate girl, around 6 to 7 years old and weighing approximately 53 pounds, exhibits a warm familiarity with leashes and car rides, suggesting she once had a loving home. While Danika may be a bit shy at first, she quickly reveals her joyful personality. She's a happy, silly dog who is as sweet as she appears in her photos. Best estimated as a mix of Pointer and Boxer, Danika is healthy for her age and has been spayed. She does have arthritis in her knees, requiring anti-inflammatories and an orthopedic bed, so a calm foster or foster-to-adopt home would be ideal, whether with Dalton or on her own. She does well with other dogs and is house trained. If you're interested in giving Danika a forever home, visit us online to submit an application. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
