Dante French Bulldog & Chihuahua Mix Plain City, OH

When Dante came into our rescue everyone commented on his striking good looks:) We soon realized he wasn\'t just another pretty face, though. And his new family agrees! "Hi! My husband forwarded your request to me...I'm the more vocal one of us! lol Dante is such a blessing! We are so grateful to have him in our lives. Everyone has fallen in love with him! We had lost our dog, Angel, in February to cancer. She was 12 years old and we'd had her since she was a puppy. My husband asked that we have a year respite of any animals. We made it 4 months. We started searching petfinder.com and had several dogs picked out. Then we were advised that Canine Collectives were having some of their adoptables at two different Petsmarts in our area. The first one we went to, the first dog we see, was Dante. He went right to my husband and gazed up at him as if to say, "Please get me out of here!" David looked at me and said, "I want this one!" That was on a Saturday. We basically kind of stalked the poor staff until we were able to go pick him up. Dante is a real sweetheart. He loves small dogs, but takes some time to warm up to bigger dogs. He is very quiet and only barks at squirrels. He came to us completely housebroken and he has absolutely no separation anxiety. He is wonderful on car rides...you forget he is in the car! We recently went up to visit "Grandpa". My dad was raised on a farm and is not a big fan of indoor pets. Guess where Dante slept? In Grandpa's bed! The first dog in my memory to have that privilege! When we were introduced to Dante, the guestimation of his breed was a French bulldog/ chihuahua mix. He looks so much like a hyena that we had to do a DNA test to find out for sure. The results came back that he is a Boston Terrier, Chow chow, Poodle mix...we have dubbed him a Botchoodle! We truthfully didn't care - we loved him no matter what breed(s) he turned out to be. However, in case there was some Pitbull in him, we wanted to do the responsible thing and get the proper insurance for him. I know you wanted "a line" or a "brief update" but like any new Mommy I have to brag on my baby! I've attached a few photos . . . he is just chillin' watching t.v. doing his Al Bundy impersonation . . . Thank you to all the volunteers - you all are truly angels on Earth. We are grateful for you and all your hard work, not to mention the love you share, and I'm sure some heartache as you see some of your babies leave the nest. God bless all of you and thank you again!"
