Story
Cleo is a surrender from her owners who could no longer take care of her. She is a pure bread, 2.5 years old. Cleo is deaf. She was an only dog in her prior home; that coupled with her deafness resulted in extreme separation anxiety. Now in foster care, with a spotted brother and sister, she has blossomed. Due to her deafness, and the history her surrendering family provided us, Cleo will need to be adopted into a home where there are other canine companions and a human home all the time. If left alone, she has severe separation anxiety and barks non-stop. Cleo will also need a home who is patient and willing to train her as her prior owners did not put in any time for basic training due to her deafness; this means her adoptive family will need to learn some basic sign language to assist in her training. She needs a yard for paying and prefers to be inside with family. She is NOT cat friendly with a high prey drive.

He is up-to-date on all vaccinations and is neutered. He came to Save the Dals via Mexico. Winston is a bundle of love mixed with a dash of sass and fun. He's definitely a work-in-progress and needs a seasoned Dalmatian owner to teach him obedience and all that comes with it. He LOVES playing with all sized dogs and cuddles for kisses. He is treat-motivated and sleeps through the night.

Story
Gaudi is a beautiful boy, originally rescued by Save the Dals in 2011 (at age 2). Sadly one of his owners passed away (which was a stressful situation for Gaudi), and his other owner is physically incapable of taking care of him now. The family has reached out and asked us to re-home him. Gaudi is now 10 years old, but still very active so don't let his age deter you from considering this loving boy. He is affectionate toward those he knows and trust, however, needs work on socialization when dealing with strangers coming into the home. His forever home would ideally be with an experienced dog owner. We are informed he has some food aggression, so we will not place him in a family with anyone under the age of 18. We believe he prefers to be an only dog (but might possibly do well with a submissive female, although we cannot guarantee this). Save the Dals will pay for getting Gaudi and his foster and/or adoptive family the assistance they need with additional training to address any concerns regarding his food aggression and becoming better socialized with strangers.

UPDATE - Persia is no longer available. She has been adopted. Sweet Persia is about two years old. She loves everyone especially the company of other dogs. She has sparkling ocean blue eyes and is NOT deaf. Update from her foster home: "Sweet blue-eyed Persia. This 2-year old, 60 lb. purebred is as loving and obedient as they come. Every morning she greets you by wiggling her entire body and shining those beautiful eyes. She has put her past behind her and is living with a pack of fur-buddies at a foster home in San Diego. Persia gets along with all the dogs, ranging in size from 45-75 lbs, ages 2-14, both female & male. She is learning to play with the other dogs and has mastered a few basic commands. She loves roaming around the backyard, and can easily entertain herself. She’s easy to train as she only wants to please you." Persia has a very loving and sweet temperament. She has very good house manners and has been house trained. Persia enjoys meeting new people and has a very happy personality. Persia has been vetted, spayed, microchipped and brought up to date on vaccinations. She is ready and waiting to find her forever home.
