26-062 Danika "NEEDS FOSTER!" - Pointer and Boxer Dog Available for Adoption in Richardson, Texas

FOSTER HOME NEEDED!!
Danika was abandoned with her friend, Dalton, found living in an abandoned home in 02/2026 and finally rescued on June 1, 2026. We believe they were loved once as they are very loving and familar with a leash and riding in a car and even seeing the vet. They had also already been micrichipped (not registered), spayed and neutered and are heartworm negative!

She is currently underweight at 53 pounds. The sweet girl has arthritis in both her knees and will benefit from anti-inflammatories and an orthopedic bed.

We are looking for a calm foster or foster-to-adopt home for her and Dalton together OR separate.

Danika is a little shy at first but warms up fast. She is as sweet as she looks in her pictures and healthy for a 6 to 7 year old pointer/boxer (best guess!) mix.

To meet Danika in person visit us at www.dsda.org/foster and submit our online adoption application.

WHEN YOU FOSTER- we provide all the supplies and any medical care still needed such as boosters and monthly heartworm/flea/tick prevention!



ADOPTION FEE Covers: Core vaccines plus Lepto and Flu, all boosters, microchip, dewormer until clear fecal test & spay or neuter when completed by a DSDA vet partner plus any necessary medical care.

Qualifications for Adoption: No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences.
