Dawson is a fun-loving little hound mix (about 8–12 lbs) born on 11/27 , He has a playful spirit and a whole lot of personality. He loves to run around, play hard, and turn everyday moments into games—especially if toys are involved!
This little guy is great with both cats and dogs and enjoys interactive play, with tug-of-war being one of his absolute favorites. Dawson is especially obsessed with squeaky and crinkly toys and happily chews on his Nylabones when it’s time to settle down.
Dawson is pee pad trained and sleeps quietly in his puppy pen at night—though once he hears you’re awake, he’ll let out a little cry to remind you it’s time to start the day together. After nap time, get ready for the biggest, most dramatic yawns you’ve ever seen.
He does like to test boundaries (as curious, smart pups do), so he’ll thrive with someone who enjoys guiding a playful puppy and helping him learn. Homes with kids 8 and older preferred. If you’re looking for an energetic, entertaining companion who will keep you smiling, Dawson is ready to run straight into your heart
The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
