My personality

My story

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

Meet our handsome and spunky Dayton!! This handsome 4 year old Plott Hound mix came in as a stray, we were convinced someone must have been missing him as awesome as he is but sadly no one ever came for him!

Dayton may have started off as a stray, but he's now ready to find his forever home. And let us tell you, he's been working hard on his leash walking skills and is doing a paw-some job! This active boy loves to go on adventures and would make the perfect companion for someone with an active lifestyle.

But don't let his busy schedule fool you, Dayton is a true best friend. He's affectionate, charming, and loves to cuddle. His curious and intelligent nature makes him a quick learner, and he's always eager to please his humans. Dayton has done well with the dogs he has met here at the shelter!

Sure, Dayton may still be learning some household routines like potty training, but we all have our quirks, right? With some patience and love, he'll catch on quickly.

Dayton has been neutered, microchipped and Heartworm tested. We have updated all vaccines including rabies. She has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention.

More about this shelter

The Orange County Animal Shelter is responsible for providing humane care to unwanted, lost or abandoned animals
The Orange County Animal Shelter provides safe haven and vet care for hundreds of animals of all ages and descriptions each year.
Happily, we have had great success promoting our animals on Petsmart adoption events and with the help of Adopt A Pet. Dozens of animals have been adopted by people who have come from many other states. Would you like to join them? If so, please let us know! The greater our reach the more homes we will find for the animals in our care.
Although we are about 1.5 hours away from the Washington, D.C. metro area, it is an easy drive. You can even make a day of it and stop off at country stores, Civil War battlefield sites and a huge mall complex in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg. And after all, what is a few hours in drive time when you will be meeting your new best friend? If you need help getting here, call us for directions
