My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

URGENT APPEAL at Risk purebred Dalmatian in Ohio.

We have less than two weeks to rehome Tori - a 7 year old Dalmatian living near Cleveland, Ohio who needs a new adoptive or foster home immediately. She is at risk of landing at a stressful high kill public shelter where it is not unusual for dogs to become very ill, besides losing her life.

Tori is very friendly, loves getting attention from people, and gets along with other animals, including cats. She is afraid of young children, though. She’s just a sweet, friendly, girl. She is on medication to manage epilepsy, but hasn’t had a seizure since going on her medication.

Thinking of getting a dog? Why not test drive Tori, as a foster, and at the same time save her life. Foster homes are allowed to fall in love with their foster dog and become one of our many foster failures. In the world of rescue a foster failure is someone that falls in love with their foster dog and decides to permanently adopt the dog. In our opinion we think that is a foster success!

Tori is sure to be your faithful new best friend that will love you unconditionally forever and ever.

Please help us keep her safe, sound, secure and loved. Many dalmatians, even those with a seizure history can live healthy lives to 16 years of age. Tori has not lived half of that. She could just need a calmer less stressful living environment to dimish the seizures.

Worth noting, one of our volunteers had a dalmatian that had grand mal seizures that became less frequent and ultimately stopped as the dog got older, and without daily medication. In their circumstances they were able to manage the dog's seizures through intervention at the time of a seizure. Their dalmatian lived with an excellent quality of life to nearly 17 years of age. The dog would have lived longer if it had not been for spinal compression.

If you can temporarily foster Tori or would like to adopt her please email info@savethedals.org ASAP.
