Pet of the Week: Meet Dasher from Palm Springs Animal Shelter
Dan Rossi from the Palm Springs Animal Shelter joined us with Dasher, an adorable 2-month-old brindle mixed breed puppy with a remarkable survival story. Dasher arrived at the shelter just before Christmas along with his siblings Prancer and Blitzen—all under a month old, without a mom, and battling both parvo and ringworm. Thanks to the dedicated team at PSAS who bottle-fed and treated them, Dasher is now a healthy, sweet, and incredibly smart pup ready for his forever home. He's expected to reach 40-50 pounds and would do well in any household with kids or other dogs.
