About Dalton

Dalton is a sweet young dog looking for his forever home after a recent uprooting. At about 7 months old, he showed remarkable patience during a long ride to the East Bay SPCA. He was a very good boy, happily waiting in his crate despite the chaos around him. Though he's a bit shy initially, Dalton quickly opens up to those he trusts. Once he knows you, he's all about cuddles and leaning against you for love. He has an energetic spirit and enjoys snacks, which makes training with positive reinforcement likely to be a fun endeavor. Dalton is also a bit nervous around new dogs but soon reveals his playful and silly side once he gets comfortable. If you think Dalton could be your new best friend, he’d love to meet you!
