More About Dawson


SPECIAL: Meet me on Saturday at Wylie Wagg! See Latest News for details!

This beautiful, bouncing, brindle is looking for a retirement home. But don't let that fool you into thinking he's a senior citizen! This energetic four year old is a bundle of energy and playfulness that will keep up with any active lifestyle. His exotic look attracts attention on walks which he only feels is his due. Dawson is working on his leash manners, but there are so many interesting things to see. Squirrels are a prime attraction but he greets the little canines with a sniff and cautious optimism. Dawson has met and greeted the resident cat, and although he would like to play, he has learned this is not such a good idea.

Sweet and lovable, and best of all food motivated, he is famous for his greyhound "chatter" which is so loud it sounds like a motor boat. Dawson loves to toss his stuffies around and pounces on them with playful energy. With so many things to learn, Dawson is an apt pupil. He is happy in his crate at night and has begun mastering the dreaded stairs. Wood floors can be a little tricky for this active guy, but he's mastering those as well. A positive and happy-go-lucky attitude makes him a prize companion waiting for that forever home. Could yours be that lucky home? Apply today to find out!

If you are interested in adoption, please go to www.greyhoundwelfare.org and fill out an application online. We place dogs in DC, MD, VA, and WV.

Dawson is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
