Description
Dog Breed: Dalmatian (medium coat). Hi, Iâm just a puppy â only 10 months old! Being in the shelter is really scary for me, and new environments and people take me a little time to adjust to. Once I feel safe, I form a very strong bond and tend to attach closely to one special person, happily staying right by their side. I do well with kids and other dogs, but I would prefer a home without cats. I can be protective of the person I bond with, especially at first, so slow introductions and patience are very important for me. With time, consistency, and reassurance, I show my sweet, loyal personality and just want to feel secure. Iâm still young and learning, and I would thrive in a calm, understanding home with someone willing to give me the time I need to build trust. If youâre looking for a devoted companion who will be your shadow once you earn his heart, I could be the perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Zylo, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12p & 2p-5:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p.If you do not own your home, bring consent from the property owner to have a dog on the property. As always, if you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet before you complete the adoption. Adoption fees: 6m and younger $250, 7m-5y $200, 6y-10y $150, 11y and older $100. Watch for adoption specials!!

Overview:
The Dalmatian is an iconic medium-sized breed, instantly recognizable by its striking white coat adorned with distinctive black or liver spots. Originating in the historical region of Dalmatia (modern-day Croatia), these dogs were initially bred as coaching dogs, running alongside carriages to protect passengers and deter road agents. Physically, they are well-muscled and athletic, with a graceful, symmetrical build and an alert expression. Temperamentally, Dalmatians are known for being outgoing, intelligent, and highly energetic, requiring significant daily exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. While generally good with children and suitable for active families, their playful exuberance might be overwhelming for very young kids, and their exercise needs make them less ideal for small apartment living unless exceptionally well-exercised. Health-wise, the breed is notably predisposed to deafness (affecting a significant percentage) and urinary stone formation, necessitating careful breeding and veterinary monitoring. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for developing a well-adjusted and beloved family member.
