　　Behavior: For example, cuddler? independent? attentive? Dallas is both independent and attentive. He is aware of where his humans are and likes to be in the same room.

　　Foster Comments: If you are looking for your dog, the one that looks for you and is excited to find you whether it has been 5 minutes or 3 hours, this just might be the boy for you! He is a sweet and affectionate boy

　　smart, too! Dallas was found by a good Samaritan as a stray. They started the vetting process and although they fell in love with him, thought it better for him to find a family of his own so they turned to breed rescue. Dallas is learning the whole housebreaking thing, and neutering has helped tremendously. He is a very good boy, who walked in the house not owning the place, but like he had always been here. He is curious, loves to run, and settle by your feet. Our favorite thing is to see his eyes light up and his tail wag 90 mph when he sees his human!
