Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.

Notes: Dallas is a friendly boy, four to five years old, 40 to 45 pounds. He does love to jump but once he is walked more frequently he will learn. At this point, he needs a fenced yard but will need someone out with him because he does like to climb fences. Dallas seems to like most other dogs and all people. He should be fine with children old enough to not be knocked over. Dallas is looking for a forever home with a family with an active lifestyle who will take him for lots of walks and spend quality time with him on the couch (he definitely wants to be a couch potato) giving him belly rubs.
