Description

09/08/26 14:28Notes from the foster:Dalia settled into our home surprisingly quickly and has been such a sweet companion to have around. At home, she is calm and easygoing. She is not destructive and has shown no food or toy guarding. At night, she settles down nicely and sleeps quietly through the night.Dalia is also incredibly smart and very food motivated, which makes training her both easy and fun. She learned “sit” and “down” by her second day with us, and by day three, she had already picked up “paw” and “high five.” She also knows other commands like “come” and is a quick learner who seems to genuinely enjoy figuring out what you’re asking her to do.One of the cutest things about Dalia is how much she loves her squeaky stuffed toys. She’ll happily play with them on her own, and sometimes she’ll pick out a favorite and proudly carry it over to show her humans. Once playtime is over, though, she has no problem settling back down. She is perfectly happy just relaxing near her favorite person and keeping you company. She absolutely loves belly rubs and head scratches and could probably stay there getting pets forever.We also have a cat at home. Dalia has been curious about the cat, but she respects the cat’s boundaries and backs away when the cat asks for space rather than chasing. With proper introductions and supervision, I think she has great potential to live happily in a home with a cat.Outside, Dalia does not chase cars, squirrels, or birds, and she has been very good about leaving random things on the ground alone. She can be a little nervous when first getting into the car, but after a little while, she settles and will quietly sit or lie down for the ride.And she really is a beautiful dog. One of her eyes has the prettiest little crescent of blue in it, and her coat almost shimmers when the sunlight hits it at just the right angle. She somehow manages to be both gorgeous and goofy at the same time.Overall, Dalia is a very sweet, affectionate, and intelligent girl who settles beautifully into a home. She loves being close to her people without needing to be entertained all the time. She may seem a little bit anxious in a shelter kennel, but give her a day or two at home to decompress, and you’ll get to see the sweet, playful, cuddly Dalia that we got to know.06/21/26 16:28Meet Daliah!This beautiful girl is about 1 year old and has been at the shelter since early June. She has been the sweetest pup ever since she arrived here. For her walks, she is super easy to leash and she shows no reaction when she has to walk past her noisy neighbors. In the yard, she LOVES pets and she had no issues when we preformed full handling on her. She can be a little timid around new people but she warms up very quickly. Daliah has great kennel presence and waits patently in her kennel everyday for her new family to come and take her home. Come in today to meet Daliah! I promise you wont regret it.
