About Dallas

Dallas is an easygoing hound with a friendly streak and an athletic side. Clocking in at about four or five years old and somewhere around 40 to 45 pounds, he has plenty of energy for long walks and lively play sessions. He does have a talent for climbing fences, so he'll need a secure yard—and someone willing to keep him company outside for both exercise and supervision. Regular walks and consistent routines should help curb his attempts at backyard acrobatics. Dallas enjoys the company of most dogs and greets people with an open heart. He does well with children who are old enough not to be knocked over by a happy, bouncy dog. After a day of adventure, he’s ready to swap running for cuddling and belly rubs on the couch. Dallas would fit best with a family that leads an active lifestyle but appreciates downtime, too. Since he was born December 30, he’s a Capricorn—the kind that’s endlessly loyal, occasionally stubborn, and happiest surrounded by family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
