About Dale

Meet Dale! A dog whose story is one of strength, determination, and endless affection. Dale's journey began in Costa Rica, where he survived being hit by a car more than two years ago. Although his injuries weren't treated immediately, Dale never let that define his future. He sustained a spinal injury, but what he lacks in mobility at times, he more than makes up for in heart. Before coming to the U.S., Dale lived on a farm with many other dogs, then spent several months in the home of a veterinarian receiving more frequent laser therapy. That care continues here, along with acupuncture, and while ongoing physical therapy may bring improvement, Dale has already proven he knows how to adapt and thrive. Dale cruises confidently in his wheelchair, earning him his fitting nickname after Dale Earnhardt and when he's out of it, he still gets around surprisingly well. Indoors, he wears a belly band to prevent accidents and happily uses a doggie door. What truly makes Dale special is his personality. He absolutely adores people and soaks up attention from anyone willing to give it. He's a devoted shadow, following his humans from room to room just to be close, and he's a world-class snuggler. Dale does wonderfully with kids and currently lives peacefully with other dogs in his foster home. After everything he's endured, Dale deserves a loving home where he can finally settle in and feel secure. He'll give unwavering loyalty and affection. Dale is one of eight dogs rescued from Costa Rica, all given a second chance at life, and now it's his turn to find his forever family.
