This sensitive, loving animal will depend on you for its health, training, and future welfare. Owning any dog is not inexpensive. The adoptive family should be prepared to provide food, water and health care in addition to comfort and affection. Health care cost include regular visits to your veterinarian and the necessary year round flea control and heartworm prevention. You will be required to obtain a license for your Dalmatian in the county in which you reside and to renew that license yearly.
All dogs have potential to develop behavior problems.
Though the staff and volunteers at Dalmatian Rescue are available to assist you in finding solutions to any behavior problems our adoptive families develop, it is our expectation that the adoptive families will take whatever steps necessary to solve these problems. This may mean consulting a professional dog trainer for classes or private instructions. Thank you for your interest in adopting one of these special dogs. Before becoming available for adoption, each Dal is spayed or neutered, tested for heartworm, fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, socialized and housebroken. Adoption applications are completed by those serious about adopting.
