Hi there. My name is Dallas. I am a fun girl with a personality the size of Texas! I am about a year old and am a boxer and lab mix. I love to run and play since I am still a bit of a puppy. I would love to find a new home with children and other dogs to play with. I like cats too! It would be great if someone could take me on a morning jog or a really nice long walk every day. I lost my mommy and my home. My foster parents inherited me but I am just a bit much for them to handle. They are doing the right thing and trying to find me a more suitalbe home. Please call Palmetto Animal League at 843- 227-2691 or emial Director@palmettoanimalleague.org to meet me.
