Dale is an easygoing, smaller dog who loves spending time with his people and getting cozy on a couch or soft chair. Walks on a leash are right up his alley, and he’ll never say no to a belly rub. Dale grew up outdoors among other dogs rather than in a typical home, so he’s more comfortable with a small circle and can be cautious with new experiences. A patient, understanding family will help him adapt to the inside world at his own pace. His breed is a bit of a mystery, but his frame is like a Swedish Vallhund, while his coloring echoes a German Shepherd. He does have a prey drive—a nod to his Vallhund side. Through the Paws Behind Bars Training Program, Dale mastered basic commands—sit, down, come—and he’s polite on leash and knows some fun tricks. Woods walks are his favorite, but he’s content with wherever you lead him. He’s fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Potty trained and good with most other dogs, Dale is looking for a steady home and a gentle routine. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
