Dasher - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Rollingwood, Texas

Meet Dasher, a handsome little guy with a striking dark mask, a soft white muzzle, and bright white paws. At about five weeks old, he’s just beginning to discover the world. He’s staying with his mama and siblings in our group foster home in San Miguel de Allende.

Dasher is one of fourteen puppies born on the street. Kind people brought the family into a warehouse for shelter, but they needed more care than they could provide. Their mama was terribly thin from giving everything she had to her babies. Now the whole family is safe, the puppies are thriving, and their mama is getting stronger.

Dasher has so many firsts ahead of him. His future family will get to share the fun of puppyhood—from new discoveries and playful moments to watching him grow into the dog he’s meant to be.
