About Dasher

Dasher needs urgent placement. She has displayed some challenging behaviors in her time at the care center, such as lunging and barking aggressively at handlers passing her kennel. She has shown some training potential, as Dasher participates in agility and knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw." With some patience and slow introductions, she could thrive. Dasher was recently treated for diarrhea but is otherwise healthy. She enjoys affection on her own terms, and it's essential to respect her space, especially around food or toys. Given her needs, Dasher would do best in an adult-only home where her new family can focus on her training and comfort. This mixed-breed beauty, primarily black with some blonde highlights, weighs 43.5 pounds and is spayed. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
