About Talty

Talty’s story started out rough—he was abandoned in the country, left to fend for himself for months. Fearful and alone, he dodged cars and survived in a pasture after his companion was picked up and he was left behind. Everything changed for Talty this February when he was finally brought to safety. Despite a rough past, Talty has turned out to be an incredibly sweet and sociable dog. He’s blossomed with care, showing a gentle and affectionate side. Talty is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He has also shown to be dog friendly and enjoys the company of other pups. Talty loves attention and wants nothing more than to be a part of a family. After months of fear and uncertainty, he’s ready for a stable, loving home who will never let him slip through the cracks again. If you’re in the DFW area and looking for a loyal friend to join your family, Talty is ready for foster, foster-to-adopt, or forever. He was born February 18, making him a thoughtful and independent Aquarius. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
