Dash is a gentle little guy with a heart that is still learning how to trust. This handsome 1-year-old Rat Terrier mix had a difficult start in life and did not receive the kindness and care every dog deserves. Because of that, new people and unfamiliar situations can make him very nervous at first. Once Dash feels safe, his sweet personality begins to shine through. He is quiet, sensitive, and looking for a patient family willing to move at his pace and show him that the world can be a good place. Dash would do best in a calm home where he can continue building confidence with love, reassurance, and understanding. Watching Dash come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding. Every small step forward is a huge victory for him, and he deserves a family who will celebrate those moments with him. With time, patience, and gentle encouragement, Dash has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion. If you believe in second chances and have room in your heart for a shy pup who just needs someone to believe in him, Dash may be the perfect fit for you.
