Sentry is a 6.5-month-old (estimated DOB January 2026), male Retriever/Pit Bull mix who currently weighs 40 pounds and is expected to be a large dog when fully grown. He was rescued from the woods in a rural area outside of Houston with his mother, Wanda, and his siblings. Sentry wakes up every day happy, ready to cuddle, play, or go for a walk. He loves people, other dogs, and life in general! He is goofy, affectionate, playful, and endlessly loving. He is potty trained and continues to grow into a confident, affectionate, and well-rounded dog. Sentry is outgoing, friendly, and always ready to make a new friend. He has been raised with his littermates and his mom and loves playing with other dogs. He has done well with children and happily soaked up attention from adults and kids alike at a community event. He is continuing to practice his leash skills and basic obedience and is eager to learn.
Ideal Home
Sentry is looking for a family committed to reinforcing good manners, building his confidence, and helping him continue to mature into an exceptional adult dog. We prefer homes that already have another friendly, well-mannered dog to help mentor and guide Sentry, as he thrives with a canine role model. If you don't currently have a dog, we'd love to hear your plan for continued socialization, including structured training classes, regular playdates with trusted dogs, or supervised daycare. Because Sentry is still a young dog, we also prefer homes where someone isn't routinely away for more than four to six hours at a time.
