Dustin

Meet Dustin!!!<br/><br/>He is a 7-month-old, 58-pound bundle of red-and-white joy who is just beginning to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be! Dustin is every bit the teenage pup: social, affectionate, and full of enthusiasm for life. While he’s been a little nervous in this new environment, his sweet nature shines through. He actively seeks out attention, leaning in for pets and even scooting himself closer to make sure he gets every bit of love available. It’s impossible not to smile when he presses in for affection.<br/><br/><br/>Being young, Dustin is still learning the art of restraint, and he’s got hops! When he’s excited, he may jump up and accidentally clobber his handler with his happy wiggles. His zest for life can be a bit much for very young children right now, but with guidance and positive training focused on impulse control, he has all the potential to grow into a wonderfully mannered companion.<br/><br/><br/>When meeting another dog in a shelter setting, Dustin showed off his playful side, zooming around with joyful energy. He was initially a little overwhelmed by the other dog’s play style, but after a few moments to process, he adjusted beautifully and began to have a great time. This suggests he may be able to live with another dog, especially with a thoughtful, gradual introduction.<br/><br/><br/>Dustin is a young dog still learning to manage his big feelings in his big, growing body. With patience, structure, and lots of love, he’s sure to blossom. We recommend that all household members meet Dustin prior to adoption to ensure a great match.<br/><br/><br/>If you’re looking for a vibrant, affectionate, playful companion who will lean into you for love and fill your days with energy and laughter, Dustin just might be your guy.<br/><br/><br/>He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.<br/>If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.
