My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Neville, Neville Longbottom! I coined the phrase ‘puppy eyes’ and am not afraid to use them when I don’t want you to leave. My birthday is approximately July, and I will be 4 years-old this year. My background is unknown, likely a pointer mix. Although small and calm for a Dalmatian, I am more than thrilled for my daily outside time once my mom gets off work. I am eager to please and be shown affection. I am often led by my nose and get to know everyone and everything by sniffing about. I am crate trained, but my family only kept me in the crate during the day for 2-3 weeks. Then, mom decided she wanted to test leaving me out while she was at work. I was only 6 months old, but I passed the test, and she’s left me out ever since. I have never had an accident in the house nor have I ever chewed on anything that wasn’t my own toy. We are all so proud of me!
I love company whenever I can get it but do not need to be engaged all of the time. I have been around kids and adults of all ages often since I was a pup and enjoy any opportunity to meet and greet someone new! If I don’t seem interested in you at first, it’s because I am more interested in smells first. Once I have the opportunity to sniff around a bit, I will make my way back to you and seek out pets and scratches. One of my favorite times is playdates with other dogs! I easily adapt to dogs of all sizes!
I am a food driven guy and can be stealthy if there is food left out and about or a garbage can left open, so if you leave something out, and I indulge, I am sorry! Sometimes I can’t help myself, but I am working on it. I love to run trails, walk, and play fetch outside when I am not laying around inside. I have been trained off leash, but led by my nose, have on occasion sprinted off to chase a scent. When called back, I listen, but possibly on my own time frame with a new owner, so it may be best to keep me on a leash or in a fenced in area for a while. I do pull at times on walks but don’t pull if I am wearing a prong collar or a harness.
I am incredibly smart and caught on quickly to commands such as come, sit, and shake, yet staying is a bit more challenging for me for long periods of time. I am the best listener and love cuddles. I love to be groomed (brushed), am fine with my nails being shaved down, and even my teeth being brushed, but I am not a bath guy. Baths scare me, and I will likely slump to my crate in an attempt to avoid them. Inside, my mom picks me up and plops me in the tub. Once in the bath, I’m ok. I do frolic in creeks but will not go into water that I cannot stand up in. To sum this up, I am an extremely loyal dog that just loves to love and be loved! I can’t wait to meet you!
