Receive Text UpdatesSpirit’s favorite toy is his interactive puzzle feeder! He’s a puzzle-solving pro, using his paws and nose to unlock the treats hidden inside. Watching him figure it out is like watching a little genius at work—his eyes light up with pride when he cracks the puzzle! It’s the perfect mix of mental challenge and reward, keeping Spirit engaged, sharp, and always wagging his tail.
My favorite thing about Spirit is his smile! Dalmatians are known for their unique "smiling" expression, and Spirit takes it to the next level. His mouth stretches wide in a goofy grin that can melt anyone’s heart. Whether he’s meeting a new friend or greeting someone he loves, he always flashes the biggest smile, like he’s sharing a secret joke with the world. It’s contagious! When Spirit smiles, you can’t help but smile too. His happiness is absolutely infectious!
Spirit should be America's Favorite because Dalmatians have a rich place in American history, from firehouse mascots to their starring roles in 101 Dalmatians. Like the beloved movie characters, Spirit is full of personality and charm. Smart, energetic, and always ready to spread joy, he’s the perfect example of one of America’s favorite breeds, proudly carrying on the legacy of the beautiful Dalmatian.
