About Dash

Think you are the one? Submit an application! Meet Dash, a spirited Husky/Shepherd mix who is 15 months old and filled with energy and enthusiasm. Surrendered due to changes in his family, Dash is looking for his forever home through Euless Animal Services - Trinity GAP Rescue. At 47 pounds, he is a fantastic companion for someone who loves staying active—he would thrive as a running or hiking partner, and his joy for car rides makes him an ideal sidekick for weekend adventures. Dash is already neutered, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so he’s healthy and ready to go! As with many young and active breeds, Dash will need a little more practice with leash walking, but he is quick to learn and very intelligent. He is dog friendly and enjoys social time at doggie daycare, easily fitting into a multi-dog home. While he is affectionate and eager to become part of the family, due to his size and energy level, a home without small children or frail individuals is best, and access to a fenced yard would help him burn off energy. Give Dash a chance and see just how quickly he’ll become an inseparable member of your household. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
