Dale Maffitt

Meet Dale Maffitt! Dale was found at Maffitt Reservoir last week. From his appearance, he had been out on his own for quite some time. After a full day of trying to lure him with treats, he was finally captured with the help of Paws of Hope Animal Rescue. Now that he's with us and learning to trust, he's getting more comfortable with our staff and volunteers. He is underweight so we are working on slowly getting back to a healthy weight. He did have to be shaved completely down due to the matting in his fur. While he doesn't have the best haircut right now, it will all grow back.

We are still learning about him. Right now, we feel a quieter home with a physical fenced yard would be best. He is still skittish and quick movements can be scary so we feel young children would be too much for him right now. Children old enough to understand his boundaries would be okay. We can tell you he does love to be near a person and will cuddle up next to you. He might think he's a bit of a lapdog and can be a "singer" when he's alone. We are not sure about other dogs in the home with him at this time.

Please stop out and meet him.
