About:
Hello! My name is Dahlia! I'm a mixed breed pup with a sweet personality, ready to give you all my love and loyalty. At 65lbs., I'm the perfect size, don't you think? I arrived on 4/11 so check back soon for updates on my personality, along with new photos. I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please hit the "adopt me" button and let’s get our family started.
My foster mom says:
- I'm such a sweet gal who gives kisses,
- I'm really calm and a little nervous at first,
- I'm a great lover of people and dogs, just taking it slow since I'm learning my way,
- I saw a cat and geese close up & only looked at them curiously. I don't seem to have a prey drive.
- I'm crate trained and whine when I need to go out,
- I love looking out of the window and sometimes I’m a cuddler. I love to be near my people.
This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
