Dale (In Foster Care) - Australian Animal Protection Society Dale is a sweet, sensitive little man who is looking for a very special family willing to help him discover just how wonderful life can be. Having come from a puppy farm, the world can still feel like a scary place, so Dale will need patient, understanding adopters who have experience with, or are willing to learn about, puppy farm behaviours. He is currently still walked on a drop lead for his security and will need ongoing confidence-building, gentle training, and careful socialisation to help him continue making progress. One thing Dale absolutely loves is other dogs. He takes so much comfort and confidence from canine companionship and must be adopted into a home with another young, playful dog who can be both his best friend and role model. He adores playtime and truly comes alive when he has a canine buddy to romp around with. He could also happily live with a cat. Dale is still working on his house training, so his new family will need to be prepared to continue his routine with patience and consistency. He will also need a home where someone is around for much of the day, as he isn't ready to cope with being left alone for long periods. A quiet, adult-only home with predictable routines will give him the best opportunity to feel safe and settled. With time, kindness, and the right environment, Dale has all the potential to flourish into a happy, confident companion. Watching him learn to trust, play, and enjoy life is sure to be an incredibly rewarding journey. If you have a calm home, a playful canine friend, and plenty of love to give, Dale may just be the perfect addition to your family. Apply now to meet this beautiful boy. 💙
