Meet Dale! This playful pup was found abandoned, tied to a gate with no food or water. Despite Dale's past, he is the happiest boy. He loves to play with squeaky toys and go for long walks. Dale can't wait to make up for lost time and love in his forever home. Dale could potentially live with older kids, cats, and other dogs.
Griffin is a canine kennel attendant and one of Dale's daily caretakers. Griffin has this to say about his buddy, Dale: "Everyone, meet Dale! This lively pup was found abandoned without food or water. Dale may have a troubled past, but he does not let that bring him down. Dale is a high energy dog who loves to play fetch (especially with a squeaky toy). He also enjoys going for nice long walks to get a chance to stretch his legs and he does amazing on a harness! Dale can get very excited and he will let you know, but he is a great listener, particularly when there are treats involved! He has stores and stores of energy and with the right amount of attention and playtime he'll love you forever! Dale would do best with older children, or those who can handle a slobbery face of kisses and hugs. He deserves the world. Help give him the best gift ever by finding him his forever home!"
Dale can't wait to get out of the shelter and into a loving home! To help make that happen, his adoption fee has been waived!

More about this shelter
For over 20 years, the Humane Animal Treatment Society has been making Mid-Michigan a safer place for companion animals through innovative programs and community education.
The Humane Animal Treatment Society (HATS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization that is independently operated, serving the Mid-Michigan area. HATS is contracted to be the sole provider of all animal care and adoption services at the Isabella County Animal Control facility. Each year we help nearly 1,000 homeless or lost pets; providing food, vaccinations, veterinary care, and a clean, safe environment while they await placement in their forever homes or a safe return to their owner. We also operate the HATS Health Clinic which provides low-cost spay and neuter services to help reduce animal overpopulation in our community.
Our organization relies on donations, local community support, and grant funds to allow us to continue our lifesaving services. Each day we make our community a better place for homeless animals by giving them a second chance at life with the opportunity to receive the medical care and behavioral support they need to make their way into a loving forever home. We continuously strive to educate our community on responsible pet ownership, provide support for pet owners in times of need, and as always, promote the humane treatment of all animals.
