My story

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

A Bright Bloom Ready for a Fresh Start

New to us! The previous shelter shared that Dahlia is a very people-friendly dog who enjoys attention and doesn’t mind being loved on. She seeks out human connection and is happy to soak up affection, making her a lovely companion right from the start.

On leash, Dahlia can get excited, but she’s not too hard to handle and does well with gentle guidance. Her enthusiasm comes from eagerness, and with continued practice and routine, she’s expected to keep improving her walking skills.

Dahlia is looking for a new home after her previous family could no longer keep her due to housing restrictions. She’s ready for a fresh beginning with people who can offer stability, care, and companionship. If you’re hoping to welcome a friendly, affectionate dog who’s eager to be part of your life, Dahlia is ready to bloom.
