**MISSION: FIND A HOME FOR DINO**

He will be at Chow Down Pet Supplies Inc. this Saturday (1/11/2025) at 11 a.m.!

Dino has been with us since January 19, 2024, and will have spent a full year with us this January. He hasn't found a home yet because he looks bulky and somewhat intimidating. He came to us from another agency, where he stayed for 10 months.

We initially believed he should be the only pet in the household. However, we've observed different aspects of his personality during our care. While unsure about his compatibility with cats, he may get along with other dogs. Dino is calm, solid, independent, confident, and mature. We are looking for a loving home that can appreciate these qualities.

Dino is our longest-term resident and has so much to offer, even though he has been overlooked many times. He is housebroken, listens well, and has experience being around other dogs. With a slow introduction, he is happy to meet them. However, Dino is quite independent and perfectly content as the only dog receiving your attention.

He rarely barks and loves a good round of belly rubs and pets. He likes to wiggle on his back. Dino is also patient with children! He enjoys walks and loves to take in the sights and smells of the landscape. We have taken him to many events, and he interacts wonderfully with other dogs and people alike.

We highly recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet with him. Just like humans, he may not click with every dog, but he has the potential to become best friends with the right one.
Let's give Dino a chance to find his forever human! Please share, share, and share! Thank you.

Think about the results of not spaying and neutering. And if your cat isn’t fixed and roams, you are part of the problem. Don’t be that person!

We should all be so selfless. ♥️

Every dog has its own personality and, just like us, has a right to be respected in likes and dislikes. Unlike us, they can’t voice things that cause stress so be aware of their body language and actions.

Some dogs don't enjoy other dogs.
This is normal.
