Dale

My story

Location: Humboldt, SD Dale came into rescue with his brother, both very underweight and unsure of people. Since then, Dale has come a long way! While he’s still skittish around hands, he’s clearly curious and wants to bond — he follows his foster around and gently licks their hands, showing he's learning to trust. Dale loves to play with his brother and does well avoiding the resident cats. He’s incredibly smart and food motivated, already learning commands like “come” and “sit.” He is still new to leashes but is doing well with slow, patient practice. He does show some resource guarding around food with other animals, so he’s fed separately. He is not fully potty trained, but uses potty pads about 90% of the time. He is very vocal in a kennel, and sleeps in an XL kennel with his brother — staying much quieter if a human is nearby. Dale is the more confident pup of the two (the "alpha") and would likely do best with a calm, balanced companion dog who can help him continue to learn and grow — though he may need a little time to warm up. Dale is looking for a patient, dog-savvy home that can give him the time, structure, and love he needs to fully come out of his shell. If you’re willing to go slow and build trust, Dale has the potential to be a truly devoted companion. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dale, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
