Bio
TORRO is a medium-energy pup who seems to enjoy spending time with people and solicits pets when he's comfortable. From our volunteer observations, he tends to be more reserved around other dogs and would likely do best as the only dog in the home. This sweet boy walks nicely on leash and has a wiggly body that shows he's ready to bond with a family.
Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is at risk. If you are interested in adopting, fostering or rescuing this dog, email dasadopt@dallas.gov When emailing, please leave a callback number.
