Meet Dodger!
A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Hound mix from Dallas, GA, who is all about adventure, energy, and a dash of charm wrapped in a tricolor coat! This medium-sized fellow, weighing around forty-two pounds, has a zest for life that shines through in everything he does, whether it's running laps around the dog park or cozying up after a long day of play.
Dodger’s love for running might remind you of Forrest Gump—once he starts, he’s hard to stop! He’s happiest with a canine buddy by his side, chasing through the fields or on a scenic hike. If there’s a butterfly, lizard, or squirrel to spot, you can bet Dodger will be pointing his nose and lifting a paw like a pro, offering an adorable salute to nature's little critters. His playful spirit is infectious, and he’s always ready to chase after new adventures!
At home, Dodger’s more than happy to settle into his crate at night, content in his own space. He sleeps soundly through the night, waking up when his pet parents do, ready for another exciting day. But don’t let his calm, crate-trained habits fool you—he's got a bit of a stubborn streak! While he knows commands like "sit," "wait," and "paw," Dodger thrives with a confident handler who can gently guide him with positive reinforcement.
This high-energy pup is wonderful with other dogs and friendly with young children, although his exuberance might be a little overwhelming for very young kids. He’s shown some possessiveness with small objects he picks up, so it's important for his new family to keep an eye on that and ensure he's given direction with love and consistency.
Dodger’s favorite moments? When he’s lying next to you at the end of the day, soaking in all the love and attention. His velvety-soft ears are perfect for scratching, and his affectionate nature shines brightest during these quiet times. While he’s not sure about cats just yet, Dodger would be overjoyed to find a home with a big yard to run in and maybe another dog to romp around with!
