Domino

Dominos story didnt start out easy—but youd never know it from the gentle, happy soul he is today. This handsome 810 year old herding mix arrived at Herding Haven the day after Christmas, rescued from a hoarding situation and carrying more than just extra weight. At 81 pounds—nearly double his ideal weight—Domino had been overfed a steady diet of fast food and neglect. But what he gained in pounds, he never lost in heart. Enter his foster mom—part chef, part personal trainer, and 100% devoted. With patience, daily walks, and a nourishing home-cooked diet, Domino has already shed nearly 20 pounds and is well on his way to his goal weight. He still has about 10 pounds to go, but hes feeling better every day—and it shows in his brighter eyes and lighter (yes, hes got a little pep in his step now!).<br/>Because of his past, Domino also had to undergo extensive dental work and lost 18 teeth. As a result, hell need to stay on a soft diet for life—but dont worry, hes thriving on meals of rice, quinoa, veggies, and lean proteins like chicken and ground turkey. Mealtime is still one of his favorite parts of the day!<br/>And who is Domino at his core? A true gentleman. Hes fully house-trained, calm and well-mannered in the home, and has a heart big enough for everyone he meets. He absolutely adores people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and is even cat-friendly. Chickens, however, are a firm no thank you in Dominos book. Domino is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Domino is the kind of dog who doesnt ask for much—just a cozy place to rest, a loving hand to pet him, and someone to continue cheering him on as he becomes his healthiest, happiest self. Hes already come so far. Now he just needs a forever home to finish his journey. If you are interested in meeting Domino, email kathie@Herdinghaven.org
