My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🏃‍♀️💨 Meet Dahlia: Fast Legs, Soft Heart, Big Second-Chance Energy 💛🐾

Got dog experience? ✔️
Got running shoes? ✔️✔️
Got room in your heart for a sensitive, athletic girl who wants to try again?

Dahlia is a stunning Malinois mix with long legs, a goofy ear, and about 50 lbs of pure go-go-go. She’s around 2 to 4 years old and VERY much still in her prime. Think “trail buddy + couch cuddler” once she feels safe. Right now, she needs the right human to help her shine.

⚡ Quick Dahlia Facts ⚡
🐕 Athletic, driven, and smart
😬 Fearful of men at first, fiercely loyal once bonded
🍖 Sweet, sensitive, and very treat-motivated
🚶‍♀️ Loves women, routine, and long walks in the yard
🎓 Would thrive with professional training and purpose
🚫 No kids or other pets
🏡 Best in a calm, one-person home
🔒 Needs a secure fenced yard and consistency

Dahlia’s start in life wasn’t fair. She was left behind when her people moved away. Shelter life has been hard on her, and the stress is real. She needs OUT and into a home where she can breathe, learn, and feel safe again.

This is not a beginner dog. This is a worth-it dog. The kind that bonds deeply, works hard, and gives you her whole heart once she knows you’re not going anywhere.

More about this rescue

The mission of Castoff Pet Rescue is to save and nurture homeless dogs; to match companion animals with loving, life-long homes; to foster responsible pet care; to control overpopulation in our community through spay/neuter programs; and to assist other shelters and rescue groups in any endeavor to benefit the animals. We believe that the same kindness, compassion, and generosity we extend to our two-legged neighbors should be given to our four-legged friends because they are not able to speak for themselves.
