About Dallas
Dallas is the kind of dog who settles in and softens a quiet house. At nine years old, he’s a dignified Australian Cattle Dog mix with a gentle nature and a streak of resilience. He’s weathered tough moments—losing his lifelong home and person—but his happy, hopeful attitude remains clear every time he does his bouncy little dance at mealtime. Dallas really appreciates soft blankets, warm corners, and a plush bed where he can stretch out like he owns the place. His routine includes short walks and plenty of lounging, and he listens well when given direction, even if he sometimes feels the urge to voice his opinions from the backyard. He’ll need an adopter who’s comfortable supporting his ongoing weight loss and joint health. Dallas has already shed ten pounds in foster care; his vet and foster mom are both optimistic about his continued progress. Ongoing medications, joint supplements, and twice-yearly bloodwork are important parts of his care plan. He gets along with other dogs and is house trained and well-mannered—a sweet and steady companion looking for stability. Dallas currently resides in Scottsdale, AZ and hopes to find someone who will let him settle in for good. Your new best friend is just one click away.
