Dahlia - Shepherd and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Meet Dahlia 🐾

Dahlia is a sweet approximately 2-year-old female Shepherd cross who arrived at the shelter in August 2026. She is a gentle and lovely girl who can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience, kindness, and time, she has so much potential to blossom.

Dahlia is looking for a patient and loving home where she can feel safe and comfortable while building her confidence. She is good with other animals and enjoys having furry companions around. She can be a little cautious of males at first, so slow, positive introductions will help her feel more at ease.

One of Dahlia's favourite things is sitting outside and enjoying the company of her people. She seems happiest simply being near someone and taking in the world around her.

If you're looking for a sweet, gentle companion and have the patience to let her come out of her shell, Dahlia would love the chance to find her forever home. ❤️
