💙 The Update You've All Been Waiting for - Sinatra 💙
Our miracle boy is finally ready for adoption! Sinatra has come such a long way since the day we saved him. Thanks to his incredible fosters, Sheila and Page Butler and our amazing donors, he’s healed so beautifully that you’d hardly know he ever had anything wrong at all. He’s still rehabbing in small ways — mostly just continuing to build strength and use that leg every day — but this brave, goofy, lovable guy is ready to find his forever family.
Sinatra is currently being fostered near Dallas, Texas, but will be making his way to New York soon — unless his perfect home is found locally first!
🐾 Personality & Training
Sinatra is housebroken and even taught himself to use the doggie door by watching the other pups. He’s crate trained, enjoys his floofy bed, and will politely bark if he needs out to potty.
He responds well to basic commands like come and stop about 99% of the time, though his foster says he’s “a bit of a stubborn gentleman” when it comes to recall. Sinatra walks nicely on leash, loves to learn, and is very food-motivated — especially if it means hanging out in the kitchen!
🍗 Daily Life & Routine
Mealtime is one of Sinatra’s favorite parts of the day (he doesn’t think his humans move fast enough!). He eats in his crate — partly to reinforce positive crate habits, and partly because he lives with a Catahoula who believes all snacks are hers.
He sleeps through the night in his covered crate and hasn’t had a single accident. He’s never chewed up his bed or had any destructive behavior — though he does enjoy “borrowing” blankets or kitchen towels to parade around with.
🛋️ Play & Companionship
Sinatra loves other dogs and currently shares his home with a 75 lb Lab and a 52 lb Catahoula. They wrestle and play hard, but he’s also content just relaxing when it’s one-on-one time.
He’s a snuggly boy who loves couch time, though he can be a bit wiggly and mouthy at first (sometimes nibbling hands while getting cozy), so older kids or adults would be best.
💙 The Perfect Home
Sinatra would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to play with or an active adopter who enjoys walks, adventures, and plenty of affection. He’s loving, loyal, and ready for a lifetime of companionship.
If you’re looking for a mix of sweetness, silliness, and heart — this blue-eyed miracle is your guy.
