About Dill

Meet Dill, a gentle 4-year-old Catahoula mix who is discovering that the world can be a safer place than he once believed. When Dill first joined Runaways Animal Rescue, he faced everything with apprehension. Walking on a leash felt daunting, and he preferred the safety of his kennel. Thanks to his calm canine friend Pit, Dill is gradually learning that kindness exists and that new experiences can be safe. Dill flourishes in a quiet, low-activity home, ideally alongside another calm dog who can help him navigate life. He does well with older children (15+) who respect his need for space. This sweet pup is also great with cats; he tends to keep his distance and coexists peacefully. While he may not approach strangers right away, the trust you build with Dill will be deeply rewarding. Watching him grow and enjoy life is a beautiful journey. Could you be the one to help him continue this path? Ready to meet Dill? Apply today!
