Dagger is a 6.5-month-old (estimated DOB January 2026), spayed female Retriever/Pit Bull mix who currently weighs 40 pounds and is expected to be a large dog when fully grown. She is being fostered in Houston, Texas. Dagger is a fearless and affectionate puppy with a heart full of cuddles, named for the dagger-shaped marking on her blaze. She was rescued from the woods with her mother and littermates and has grown up loved and cared for. Dagger is a playful and social butterfly, always ready for an adventure. She is potty trained and continues to grow into a confident, affectionate, and well-rounded dog.
Ideal Home
Dagger is looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day, as she benefits from regular potty breaks, exercise, and interaction. She is talented at escaping enclosures, so her future family should be aware of this. Due to her playful nature and the benefits of learning from an experienced canine companion, we prefer homes that already have another friendly, well-mannered dog. If you don't have a resident dog, please share your plan for continued socialization with other dogs.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in her description.
Training & Support
Dagger is still an adolescent and is continuing to learn about the world. She needs a family committed to reinforcing good manners, building her confidence, and providing ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice. Continued socialization with new people, places, sounds, and friendly dogs is crucial for her development.
