Dash has been waiting for a family for nearly 400 days … more than ONE WHOLE YEAR IN THE SHELTER. 💔 Please help us find him the right family -- share, share, share!

Dash is a great dog. And we know he can thrive in the right environment. Dash is housetrained, crate trained, clicker trained, and walks incredibly well on a leash. He loves to play with toys and will nudge you to get you to engage in tug-of-war. He’s cuddly, cute and charismatic.

So why has he been here so long? Dash needs to be an only dog and is dog reactive, which can be harder to manage in a population dense area like the DMV. He would not thrive in an apartment, condo or townhouse. He would be most comfortable in a single-family home where he can go on walks without running into tons of dogs. His reactivity can be managed, and our Behavior and Training team has worked diligently with him to reduce it. We also think he would do best with older kids or no kids in the home.

Dash’s new family will receive ongoing support from our Behavior and Training team, a year’s supply of free food and a shopping spree courtesy Pampered Pet Boutique Barkery, a $250 gift card to Sniffspots (for private dog parks where Dash can run), and a standard behavior modification coaching package (valued at $750) with a local positive reinforcement dog trainer. His adoption fee has also been waived.

If you think you can provide a home for Dash, come meet him during our adoption hours or email adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org with any questions.📍4101 Eisenhower Ave., Alexandria, VA 22304
