About Dea

Meet Dea, a sweet and gentle girl ready to capture your heart. This beautiful 1-year-old, 40-pound mixed breed dog combines the grace of a Whippet and the friendly nature of a Labrador Retriever. Soft and sensitive, Dea may take some time to warm up, but once she feels at home, her affectionate side truly shines. Dea thrives in a calm environment and enjoys her daily walks, alongside spending time with other dogs. She is sociable and friendly, making her a great companion for another confident canine. However, she can also thrive as the only dog if matched with a patient adopter who offers structure and affection. Notably gentle with children, she'll also coexist well with cats. Currently crate trained and making progress with her potty training, Dea walks nicely on a leash and is eager to learn. Having been rescued from a tough past, she is now fully vetted—spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Dea's trusting nature makes her special, and with some patience, she will bond deeply, becoming a devoted companion. If you have a peaceful home and room in your heart for a gentle soul like Dea, she’s waiting for you. It’s time for her to find a loving forever home. Start your journey together! Apply now.
