My story

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

Dallas – The Last Husky Standing

Dallas came to the shelter with two siblings, and now he’s the only one left. He’s fully aware of this tragic plot twist and is ready to steal your heart so he never has to be the last one waiting again.
When Dallas first comes out of his kennel, he can be a little stressed and wildly energetic — we call it his “Husky Launch Mode.” Give him about five minutes to shake it off and he transforms into a sweet, curious explorer who’s much calmer and ready to connect.
Dallas loves to run, chase balls, and pounce on toys. He’ll even carry them around proudly on occasion, but don’t expect a fetch champion — returning the toy is simply not part of his personal philosophy. He’s picky with treats and far more interested in sniffing and investigating the world around him. Once he slows down, he hands out the gentlest little kisses.
Before coming to the shelter, Dallas lived with a family who said he was crate trained and had some basic training, though he will need some leash work. He’s friendly with adults and kids, but cats make him suspicious and he tends to bark at them.
Dallas was surrendered simply because his family had too many dogs and he just needs a home where he can be the star, burn off his husky energy, and finally stop being the last one waiting.
