About Dennis

Meet Dennis, a handsome boy who’s nearly 6 months old and weighs 35 pounds. We believe he's a hound/shepherd mix, expected to reach around 50 pounds full grown. Dennis came to DAWS when he was just 3 months old and found a home, but due to family changes, he’s back and ready for a second chance. This sweet pup adores people and thrives on attention. He’s all set for outdoor adventures, exploring new places with you. Dennis gets along well with other dogs and we're confident he’ll do great with children of all ages. We can also cat-test him if needed. Neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, Dennis is healthy and ready for his forever home.
