Story
Meet Perdita
Perdita came to our rescue after she and her three puppies were surrendered to one of our rescue partners. She has been an exceptional mother, giving her puppies the very best start in life with her gentle, loving nature. Now that her puppies are nearly ready to head off to their own homes, it's finally Perdita's turn to find the family she deserves. Perdita is a sweet, affectionate Dalmatian with a loving personality. In her foster home before coming into our rescue, she enjoyed the company of other dogs, peacefully ignored the resident chickens, and was introduced to a kitten, whom she treated with gentle curiosity. She has shown herself to be a kind, social dog who enjoys being part of the family. One thing we've learned about Perdita is that she is very much a velcro dog. She forms strong bonds with her people and prefers to be close to them whenever possible. She does not enjoy being left alone for long periods, so she is looking for a home where someone is home often. She has been doing well with her crate training and would love to find a family that will continue to work with her in this area.
Like all Dalmatians, Perdita is not the right fit for every household. This intelligent, athletic breed requires regular exercise, ongoing training, and mental enrichment to thrive. Dalmatians can also have unique health considerations that adopters should be familiar with. We are looking for a home with prior Dalmatian experience or a strong understanding of the breed and a commitment to meeting her needs for the rest of her life. Perdita will also require a very secure, safely fenced yard as she is an active dog who should always have a safe place to stretch her legs and explore. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily be your shadow and you're prepared to provide the structure, companionship, and understanding she deserves, Perdita may be the perfect addition to your family. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Instagram (@nwdogproject) for updates! If you would like to be considered as Perdita's forever home, be sure to submit an adoption application on our website!
Adoption fee includes; spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, dewormer, fecal testing, flea/tick prevention and age-appropriate vaccines.
