Silas

About Silas (Dalmatian) in Albuquerque

Silas is waiting for you at Albuquerque Animal Services - Westside in Albuquerque, NM 87121. Meet Silas — a gentle soul figuring out the world, one careful step at a time.Silas came to us as a stray, which tells us almost nothing about where he came from — but spending five minutes with him tells you everything you need to know about who he is. Gentle. Affectionate. Quietly devoted to whoever he is with. And just a little bit convinced that the world is a lot. He arrived with a low tail wag and wide eyes, taking in shelter life with the careful attention of someone who finds things new and surprising — like walking into an office, which apparently requires a moment of serious consideration. But here's the thing about Silas: he figures it out. Every time. And he does it while staying sweet, staying close, and staying completely endearing.He takes treats gently, sticks close to his person like a spotted shadow, and is affectionate with everyone who takes the time to meet him where he is. Leash walking is a work in progress — he zigs, he zags, he has opinions about direction — but he is learning. Other dogs? Not really his thing. A toy? Sometimes yes, sometimes absolutely not, depends on the day. But get him into a play yard and suddenly there it is — pure young dog energy, zooming around like he's been saving it up all week. There's that puppy.Silas is not a plug-and-play dog. He is a slow burn — and for the right person, he will be one of the most rewarding dogs they have ever known. Silas is still learning that the world is safe. Are you the person who proves it to him?
