About Dahlia

Dahlia is a spayed female Terrier mix, around 10 months old and weighing approximately 11 lbs. As she continues to grow, she'll likely reach a full size of about 13 lbs. Originally adjusting to the lively pace of NYC life, she would thrive better in a calm area with access to serene green spaces. Her current routine enjoys early morning walks and quiet evenings, showing a preference for a structured schedule. While generally friendly with cats, Dahlia is still working on her social skills with other dogs and prefers not to engage too closely at this moment. This adaptable pup is house trained, but she’s adjusting to new experiences, and she may initially show some shyness around unfamiliar people or bustling environments. With some time and patience, she'll surely flourish in a loving home. Dahlia would do best in a household with adults or mature kids aged eight and up who understand her need for calm interaction. Her new family should be ready for a fun yet demanding training journey and must be prepared for the responsibilities puppy ownership entails. Click apply to start the adoption process.
