My story

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

Hi there! My name is Dash, and I’m aptly named as I’m a dashing brindle boy who is ready to steal your heart. I can be a bit uncertain at first, but give me a little time and space and I’m sure to come around. I am certain to gain confidence with a family ready to provide me with positive new experiences at a comfortable pace. My prior owner reports I have very good house manners, and I am crate trained. I will tell you that I prefer people to pups. I enjoy playtime, a nice game of tug and long walks. I sit nicely on cue, give paw and am ready to learn new things. I’m very treat motivated, and there’s no end to what I can learn! I’m ready to be an affectionate and fun companion for a family with just a little patience and lots of love.

Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fees have been paid! Learn more about our Adopt It Forward program!
