About Dale

Meet Dale, our goofy boy who weighs around 39 lbs. He was found abandoned at the Ithaca Dog Park alongside his brother, Chip, and has been looking for a loving home ever since. Dale boasts a playful spirit and a funky little tail that wags with enthusiasm. This energetic pup is always ready to go, so an active adopter who can match his pace would be ideal. But there’s much more to Dale than just energy; he’s also a cuddle bug at heart, just waiting for a moment to slow down and snuggle. Dale may be a bit selective with his canine friends, so if you already have a dog, our adoptions team can set up a meet-and-greet in a controlled environment to see how they get along. He loves toys, especially a good ball, and treats make him yours! If you’re curious about Dale, we encourage you to visit our adoption center from Wednesday to Sunday between 12:00-4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00-6:30 PM). What are you waiting for? Apply today!
