Dagger is a playful and affectionate 6.5-month-old Retriever/Pit Bull mix who is ready to be your loyal companion! Weighing 40 pounds, she's expected to be a large dog when fully grown. Dagger, named for the distinctive dagger-shaped white marking on her neck, was rescued from a rural area outside of Houston with her mother and littermates. She's a confident and curious girl with a heart full of cuddles, transitioning from playful puppy to a wonderful companion. Dagger is potty trained and loves to explore, but her favorite activity is snuggling in her person's lap with gentle love nibbles. She's friendly with strangers, enjoys playing with other dogs, and has been around children with positive results. While she hasn't been tested with cats, her outgoing and adaptable nature suggests she could do well with proper introductions.
Ideal Home
Dagger is looking for a family committed to positive reinforcement, consistency, and helping her continue to mature. She thrives with continued socialization and would benefit from a home with another friendly, well-mannered dog to help guide her. If you don't currently have a dog, a proactive plan for socialization, such as training classes or playdates, is essential. Homes where someone is not routinely away for more than four to six hours are preferred due to her young age.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned for Dagger. She is spayed.
Training & Support
Dagger is potty trained and continues to learn about the world around her. She needs ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice to help her thrive. Socialization is crucial for building lifelong confidence.
