Original: Dali, pronounced Dollie, is a sweet girl who loves everyone and everything. She likes people of all ages and has lived with a baby since she was born. She likes cats. She likes other dogs and she LOVES people. This girl would thrive in any home. Her nickname is “The Lovebug.”
Dali ended up in rescue because her former owner had made some poor decisions about his life. These decisions caused him to have to go to jail. He initially thought it was going to be a short stay, so, he had made arrangements with a local kennel to keep her until he got out. When he discovered that he was going to be in jail for a year, he knew that it was not fair for him to keep Dali kenneled that long. He asked the owner of the kennel to help find her a home where she could be loved and sleep in a real bed. Dali was then relinquished to MAESSR. The owner is extremely sad for himself at the loss of Dali, but he is hopeful that someone will love her as much as he did.
Dali is housebroken, crate trained, will pull gently on the leash, and gets extremely excited when her family comes home. She will occasionally gently “mouth” a hand, but she is definitely NOT biting. She’s just letting it be known that she loves you. She does not counter-surf, trash pick, or chew inappropriate items. Dali currently sleeps on a bed beside her foster parents’ bed, but she would prefer to sleep with them.
Can you love this little “Dali”? She’s ready for an adopting family who will share their hearts, and, perhaps their bed.
