About Silas

Meet Silas, a 6-year-old mixed breed weighing 71 lbs. This affectionate boy loves to explore the world through his nose and enjoys playing games of chase and fetch. Silas came to the shelter due to his previous owner's severe allergies, so he’s looking for a new home that can provide him with love and indoor companionship. While he may be a bit shy with new people, once he warms up, his playful and curious nature shines through. Silas has done well with young children, making him a great addition to a family. He's a fan of treats like Milkbones and Beggin Strips, and while he tends to pull on the leash, he already knows commands like sit, shake, and come. Silas has spent most of his time outdoors but will thrive in a loving home that offers indoor living too. If you're ready to give this sweet boy a new beginning, come meet Silas today!
