DeLaCruz is a striking hound and chocolate lab mix, built for adventure and affection. He thrives on car rides, walks, and outings to the lake, soaking up every bit of attention along the way. Very social with other dogs, Cruz handles himself well on a leash and is both crate and house-trained. He favors Iams Mini Chunks, a detail that complements his easy-going nature. Spend a day with him and you’ll see just how much he enjoys long walks, squeaky toys, and relaxing in tall grass. His friendly, approachable presence turns heads, especially when he strolls across the college campus. Cruz doesn’t get along with cats, but he’s an excellent fit for homes with other dogs and children. Fun fact: born under the sign of Capricorn, you might notice some of his determined, steady personality shining through. Give him a tennis ball and he'll be busy for hours. Every now and then, you catch him living up to his namesake—a nod to his Cincinnati Reds inspiration—displaying playful loyalty and sharp instincts. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
