About Dallas

Scout hits the sweet spot for anyone after an upbeat, sharp-looking young dog with personality to spare. Medium-sized on paper, but definitely a heavyweight in charisma, Scout is already making the rounds as a certified crowd-pleaser. Curiosity and playfulness fuel his day, often resulting in tail-wagging welcomes whenever you walk through the door.

Scout gets right down to the business of fun, always up for a game or a stretch of outdoor exploring. He’s new to the rescue, so there’s a bit more to discover about his habits, but first impressions say you’re dealing with a genuinely friendly and lively companion. As a bonus, Scout is house trained and ready to make himself part of a family that appreciates goofiness, smarts, and plenty of love. You’ll need to meet Scout in person to see if it clicks, so plan on a visit if you’re interested. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
