Meet Dave! He was born in November 2019. He is a Malamute and a big, very sweet boy. He is neutered and current on shots. He would do best as the only dog in the household. We don't know how he is with kids and cats.

Dave is very active for his size and age. He would make a great hiking companion!.

If you would like to meet Dave visit Battle Mountain Humane Society seven days a week from 8 a.m. to noon or for more information call 605-745-7283.

This week's Pet of the Week is sponsored by Southern Hills Animal Clinic.
