About Delmar

Meet Delmar. Delmar is a medium-sized, white and cream mixed-breed dog who's about 4 years and 9 months old, living in Dixon, IL. He and his brother Pete share a close bond, but Delmar tends to be selective with new dogs, so he does best with slow, patient introductions. Underneath his sturdy build and wiggly energy, Delmar is eager to please and picks up on new routines quickly. He needs a calm, structured home—especially now, as he recovers from heartworm treatment, which the rescue will cover. Delmar's ideal environment is quiet and steady, giving him a safe place to heal while you enjoy his affection and loyalty. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He also gets along with cats and just wants a peaceful spot to call his own. Every day with Delmar starts and ends with a grateful wag and a spark of hope in those bright eyes.
