Meet Searchlight! Just like her name, Searchlight has a bright, bold personality that lights up every room. This energetic, intelligent girl is always ready for her next adventure and loves having both her mind and body engaged. Whether it`s hiking, learning new skills, or playing with her favorite people, Searchlight is happiest when she has something to do.Searchlight is a strong dog who will thrive with an experienced, confident adopter who can continue building her manners and provide consistent guidance. She is still working on her training, and enrolling with a professional trainer is highly recommended to help her become the best companion she can be.As a stray, Searchlight`s history is unknown, so we are taking introductions thoughtfully. Dogs in the home are not recommended to begin, and in the long run dominant dogs may not be the best fit for her.If you have cats, a Dogs Day Out trial will be required before adoption. Because Searchlight may be inclined to chase, dog-savvy, confident felines would be the best match. Searchlight may also do well with respectful children who understand how to interact appropriately with an active, strong dog.If you`re looking for a smart, active companion and are ready to invest the time and training she deserves, Searchlight has the potential to become an incredible lifelong friend. Come meet this shining girl and see if she`s the perfect addition to your family!
