Story
Meet Dashiell — “Dash” to his friends!Dash is a 2-year-old, 21-pound Basenji mix who’s equal parts energetic adventurer and affectionate lap dog. He’s easy-going, fine being left alone during the day, and happiest when he’s running, exploring, or snuggling with his people.&#226&#173&#144 Temperament & TrainingDash is house-trained, eager to please, and responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement. He walks daily and is improving with leash manners—especially around other dogs. He’s still young and learning but makes progress quickly.&#226&#173&#144 Living With DashDogs: Yes. He enjoys other dogs but may guard high-value chews.Cats: Unsure—may chase a running cat.Kids: Best with older children.Crate: Not crate trained but settles fine when left alone.Exercise: High! Needs daily activity and an active family.Home Type: Has done well in a townhouse but needs plenty of exercise. Loves to run and has great off-leash recall.&#226&#173&#144 Quirks & HabitsDash may steal unattended food or chew things when under-exercised, but he loves appropriate chew toys and happily surrenders them to people. He’s also a big sunbather and entertains himself by tossing toys in the air.&#226&#173&#144 Why You’ll Love HimDash is the perfect small adventure buddy—always ready to hike, run, or travel, then curl up for cuddles afterward. Sweet, playful, and full of heart, he’s truly a delight.If you’re looking for a fun, high-energy companion, Dash might be your perfect match. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
