Dale | 1 y.o. Puggle | Gentle Soul with a Big Heart
Meet Dale, a 1-year-old Puggle weighing 24 pounds with a fawn and black coat and a heart as soft as his floppy ears and soulful eyes. This sweet boy has come a long way since being rescued from a tough start - he was found with a nylon cord tied tightly around his neck and was so scared at the shelter that he landed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, he’s discovered what safety and love feel like, and he’s blossomed into a gentle, affectionate companion.
When Dale first arrived in his foster home, he was shy and uncertain, often cowering as if he expected to be hurt. But with patience, kindness, and the help of his foster siblings, he learned that humans can be trusted. Now, he happily comes for pets from his foster parents and loves to snuggle with his dog friends.
Dale is calm, friendly, and easygoing. He enjoys going for walks and does beautifully on leash. He’s almost fully house trained (just the occasional accident) and does great when left home alone, especially with another dog for company. He is not crated when left alone, but he’s perfectly behaved when uncrated.
This little guy adores small and medium dogs and spends his days playing and cuddling with his foster’s two 5-month old puppies. Larger dogs, however, can make him uneasy, and he may bark at them. He’s been wonderful with cats, paying them no mind, and while he hasn’t met children yet, his gentle and non-reactive nature suggests he’d do well with kids of all ages.
Dale’s ideal home would include another small or medium-sized dog to help him feel secure and continue showing him that people can be trusted. He’s motivated by love and gentle affection (and soft, jerky-style treats!) and will quickly bond with those who show him patience and kindness.
After a rough beginning, Dale is ready for a new chapter filled with comfort, play, and love. If you’re looking for a sweet, mellow companion who just wants to belong, Dale will melt your heart the moment you meet him.
If you and Dale are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
