Dante, an absolute doll, gentle, smart, affectionate!'s Story

Meet Dante, he is ready to be your best boy! Playful, funny, loves dogs, he's been learning a lot from his 5 brothers about how to be a dog. He's been showing how athletic he is, he can run, jump, twirl, take 3 steps at a time, so fun to watch! Believe it or not, this absolute cutie was thrown from a moving truck into a ditch as a little guy just 9 mths old. He was scooped up by a witness and taken to the shelter where he was just terrified and so sad, he cried for days! But, they couldn't take the sweet out of this little guy, he is now vetted and in a foster home where he is waiting knowing a family will find him irresistible! Speak to his Foster Mommy! He is thriving!<br/><br/>Dante immediately felt comfortable and happy with his five small to large foster brothers, in fact he's probably going to always want a buddy to lay in the sun with. He's great in his crate! He wakes up so happy every morning and wants to play, he never barks! He loves having his chin gently rubbed, he just closes his eyes like he's in heaven, he lets you rub his very cute feet! He also accidentally tipped his food bowl over and didn't even mind when the others snuck in for the kibble, he's without aggression. This boy is ready to play and to do zoomies! Young or old, big or small, he is just ready to play and even when the little dogs gang up on him he keeps smiling. What an amazing temperament!<br/><br/>He's the most gentle treat taker! He will love a yard to hang in and be safe in. I will also share that he likes being carried around, he thinks it's a good time to sneak some kisses, I guess he doesn't know he weighs about 48lb! We estimate him to be about 1yo. Please let me know if you need or would like any information! We can help with transport and can offer foster to adopt. Ask for his videos. He would do well with people that are patient and kind and understand that Dante has been through a trauma and will need an opportunity to build trust and feel safe, he has all the qualities of a gentle family dog or companion pup for a solo or couple. He's so grateful and deserving. Speak to his Foster Mommy ask for his videos. His coat is shiney and he is healthy and happy now and ready for his Forever Family. <br/><br/>Hi from Dante's foster mom, Dante is learning trust every day, he is a funny and smart fellow! He absolutely loves tumbling with his brothers outside, he's learning to come in and out of the house on his own and in the house he's so low key. He can play up a storm outside, inside he's chill and he's never had an accident. He's leary of each person that's new to him, everyone has to earn his trust. Noises still scare him but he's getting used to new sounds that are scary like the vacuum cleaner and garbage disposal! I've yet to hear him bark, and he's learning how to chew and play with toys.<br/><br/>Let us know if you'd like to know more!
