Sentry is a 6.5-month-old male Retriever/Pit Bull mix with an estimated DOB of January 2026. He currently weighs 40 pounds and is expected to be a large dog when fully grown. Sentry was rescued from the woods with his mother, Wanda, and littermates. He is a happy, affectionate, playful, and loving puppy who enjoys cuddles, playtime with his siblings, walks, and chasing the water hose. Sentry loves people and other dogs and is eager to make new friends. He is potty trained and is growing into a confident and well-rounded dog.
Ideal Home
Sentry would thrive in a home that can provide ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice. He is looking for a family committed to building his confidence and helping him mature into an exceptional adult dog. A home with another friendly, well-mannered dog is preferred to help mentor and guide Sentry. If a home does not have another dog, a proactive plan for continued socialization, such as structured training classes, regular playdates, or supervised daycare, is essential. Homes where someone isn't routinely away for more than four to six hours at a time are also preferred, as Sentry will benefit from regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, training, and human interaction. He has been around children and has done well.
