About Dahlia

Dahlia is a true miracle. Rescued just in time from dehydration and anemia, she’s made an incredible recovery with the help of our wonderful vet, Dr. Wessling. Now she’s full of life, running, jumping, and soaking up every bit of affection. Dahlia is ready to find her forever home, and it won't be easy to part with her; she has definitely left her mark on our hearts. Adopting Dahlia means she will come spayed, up to date on vaccinations, tested, and microchipped. It's all included in her adoption. Remember, transitioning to a new home takes time—typically 4-6 weeks—as they adjust to their new routine. We support adoptive families with check-ins and advice during this period. Before you apply to adopt, please review our basic requirements online. We strive to find the best fits for our animals. If Dahlia is listed in foster care, she can still be adopted with pre-approved meet and greets. For inquiries, reach us via email, Facebook, or call at 507-377-8501. Your new companion is waiting, and she can’t wait to meet you!
