Dals are energetic, shed year-round, and prefer to be with their people (they do not like being left outside in a backyard).
Unless specifically noted, all Dals listed on this page are in western Washington state.
The information below was provided by the owners. Potential adopters are advised to spend some time visiting with the individual dogs, and to not make hasty decisons. The information listed does not reflect an endorsement by myself, nor the web site provider.
My name is Junior. Right now I'm staying in a foster home with my foster mom, foster dad and their three cats. If you want to meet me please call (206)615-0737. My foster mom & dad adore me!! You will too when you meet me. You see, I'm a dream on a leash. My foster mom put the training collar away after the first day. I rarely pull, and other dogs, cats, squirrels, etc, don't phase me. I just like to walk and walk and maybe sniff a few bushes and telephone poles here and there if you'll let me. I'm completely housebroken and know sit, stay, lay down, and some other commands that my foster mom hasn't figured out yet. I love to have my foster mom hide a treat somewhere and then go "find it". Such fun...my nose always leads me to the treat, no matter how tricky my foster mom thinks shešs being. I do a little prance when I get excited, and also when Išm feeling particularly happy on my walks, it's absolutely adorable! I'm tolerant of children too. I love to cuddle and thrive on lots of attention. One of my favorite activities is snuggling in bed in the morning with my foster mom (only when she invites me up of course). I love company so much that I don't like to be alone. They say I have separation anxiety. I think I'll be okay if I go to a home with another dog. Someone that has a flexible schedule and doesn't have to leave me for long periods of time would be ideal. Not to brag or anything, but everyone that meets me comments how, cute, sweet and well behaved I am!! See photos of me The number in the story is for the foster care voice mail. If you would like to contact me directly, you can reach me at (206)282-7209, and I also check my e-mail regularly. Junior can also be found posted on Petshelter Network.
Jeanie is a black spotted, spayed, female Dalmatian. She was born in the spring of 1993. She's a little overweight. She's good with cats and most dogs. She plays with all of the dogs she currently lives with, except for one. She likes people to pay attention to her.

Rocko is black and white, quite slender and tall. He's about 2 years old. He has not been around other animals, and gets a little wound up when he is around them.

If you'd like to meet Rocko, or learn more about him, please call Gerri Barker at 206-937-3908.
Spooky was lost and found last summer. He's probably less than 2 years old, and is very sweet. He's currently living with a couple that has other dogs.

Call Patricia at 206/789-7236 if you would like to meet Spooky.
