My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Hi! I'm Dallas, a lovable chunky boy with a heart of gold and a head as big as my appetite for food. I also have a hunger for knowledge. I love brain games, work to eat toys and learning new commands, and have already learned cues like sit, down, leave it, go to crate, and calm. I love a cozy setup with lots of blankets and a covered crate with the door left open, snuggles with my person, a good pup cup, and long walks across the autumn leaves. I'm a fun guy, crate trained, and - not to toot my own horn but I'm also housebroken. "

Dallas enjoys puzzle toys and enrichment activities, but he's not a fan of ear touches or nail trims - yet loves a good massage. He has a history of living harmoniously with two other dogs, although he may get a bit excited and jump when meeting new furry friends. Due to his exuberant nature, Dallas is best suited for a home without kids or cats. While Dallas can be calm, he also has bursts of energy that requires an active household to keep up with him. He's seeking a loving family who can appreciate his sweet side while embracing his spirited personality.

Forget-Me-Nots are small, sometimes missed, flowers that symbolize true love, loyalty, and remembrance. At the Maryland SPCA, we classify a pet as a Forget-Me-Not to highlight an animal that may have some extra considerations for potential adopters to be aware of. Even though this pet may need a little extra TLC in order to fully bloom, we know they are still a strong candidate for adoption and they're sure to bring true love and loyalty into their new family. We hope you'll remember these beautiful creatures when you consider adopting.

More about this shelter

The Maryland SPCA connects wonderful pets to loving owners. We are not affiliated with any national animal organization, and we do not receive any government or United Way funding. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the humane relationship between animals and people. We operate primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.

To make sure that our dogs and cats do not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem, every one is spayed or neutered before going into a new home. The cost is included in the adoption fee, as are the costs of shots and other necessary care. In addition, a free Positive Pooch class is available to our dog adopters.

There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and a sound temperament, we keep him or her until adopted. We pride ourselves on providing premium care to the animals in a clean, pleasant environment. Our adoption staff works diligently to pair up adopters with the best animal match for their homes and lifestyles.

We transport animals from other shelters to our adoption center to help more animals get adopted. We also help pet owners find new homes for their pets so their animals don’t need to enter shelter care.
