I’m Dale! I’m an English bulldog mix from California. I’m about 5 years old, and I was pulled from Contra Costa animal shelter, where I was on the euthanasia list back in July 2025 due to “lack of space” and bad skin problems at the time.

I was adopted by a young couple but returned because I became over protective and a bit jealous. A one person home is the ideal home for me.

My skin is doing much better. It turns out I have food allergies and am on Acana pear/lamb dog food. I need special care for my other skin issues.

I’m happy with a few short walks a day; one in the morning (I literally need to be forced to go out unless I’m desperate for a pee) and a short afternoon walk. I am fully housetrained.

I sleep a lot and then we go on our night walk, which can last about 25 minutes. After that, I’m good to just hang out.
