Dalton carries himself like a dog who already knows he’s everyone’s favorite. With his snowy coat, expressive eyes, and easy smile, he has a way of turning ordinary moments into the best part of the day. One minute he’s happily trotting beside you, the next he’s leaning in for affection like he’s known you forever.

Fun comes naturally to Dalton. He lights up for treats, enjoys puzzle games and learning new things, and picked up agility with impressive confidence. Smart and eager to connect, he already knows cues like “sit” and “down,” and he’s the kind of dog who genuinely enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. A walk, some playtime, lounging around together — he’s all in.

What really makes Dalton special is his balance. He’s playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being demanding, and calm enough to settle in and simply enjoy your company. He’s house trained, leash trained, and full of the kind of steady sweetness that makes life feel easier.
Some dogs ask for attention.

Dalton makes people want to give it. Opening your home to him — whether through fostering or adoption — means gaining a loyal sidekick, a cuddle buddy, and a dog who will make himself part of your heart almost instantly.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
