What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Chocolate, a 9-month-old pup who tends to be a bit shy and cautious in new situations, but really comes out of her shell during playtime! With patient encouragement, you will quickly see her social and playful side—as observed by volunteers who note her gentle and laid-back play style when spending time with other dogs in the yard. Although initially wary, especially around leashes and when meeting new people, she warms up beautifully once she feels comfortable and secure. Chocolate would truly benefit from the individualized attention that a loving foster or adopter can provide. She has been in the shelter for over 30 days and is in need of a safe and supportive home due to high shelter capacity. Give this gentle soul the chance she deserves and come meet Chocolate at Dallas Animal Services & Adoption Center. This could be the start of something paw-some.
