Sentry

Sentry is a happy-go-lucky 6.5-month-old Retriever/Pit Bull mix who is sure to bring joy to your life! Weighing 40 pounds, he's expected to be a large dog when fully grown, and his mom, Wanda, weighs about 55 pounds. Sentry and his littermates were rescued from a rural area outside of Houston, Texas, where their mom gave birth during a cold spell. Thankfully, they were brought to safety and have been lovingly cared for in a foster home. Sentry is a bundle of energy and affection, loving cuddles, playtime with his siblings, and going for walks. He's a social butterfly who loves people and other dogs, and he's eager to be part of your family's adventures. He's already potty trained and is growing into a confident and well-rounded pup. Sentry is outgoing, friendly, and always ready to make new friends. He has been raised with his littermates and mom and enjoys playing with other dogs. He has done well with children and recently enjoyed attention from both adults and kids at a community event. He's continuing to learn leash skills and basic obedience and is excited to continue his training journey.

Ideal Home

Sentry is looking for a family committed to positive reinforcement, building his confidence, and helping him mature into an exceptional adult dog. Consistency and continued leash practice will help him thrive. Continued socialization is very important for him, so we prefer homes with another friendly, well-mannered dog to help mentor him. If you don't currently have a dog, please share your plan for ongoing socialization, which could include training classes, playdates, or supervised daycare. Because Sentry is still young, we also prefer homes where someone isn't routinely away for more than four to six hours at a time.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned, but as with any young dog, he will benefit from regular veterinary check-ups.

Training & Support

Sentry is potty trained and eager to learn. He is continuing to practice his leash skills and basic obedience. Ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice will help him thrive. Socialization with new people, places, sounds, and friendly dogs is essential for building lifelong confidence.
