DANTE

Age: 4
Adoption Fees: 400
Adoption Status:

March 14, 2017 – Dante is gone to his forever home in Chatham…(:

February 28, 2017 – Dante enjoys his walks, if the weather cooperates, we go for 7km a day.  We introduced him to bigger dogs, he wanted to play but they weren’t interested.  He accepted it well and was happy to run alongside them.  Dante is now eating 1/2 cup twice a day.  Dante has met children, he got excited, jumped up and settled quickly when they bent down to greet him.  Dante is a very happy boy who LOVES to walk, play with family members and loves to cuddle.  His recall is pretty good, we have tried off leash secure parks and he stays fairly close, within sigh and responds well when called.  If you are interested in adopting Dante, please submit your Adoption Application form.  We are looking for an active family who will have time to go for long walks with him every day.

– Dante has settled into his foster home extremely well. He is satisfied with his reduced food portion. When offered a treat, he takes it from your hand very gently. He shows no food aggression. He pulls when walking on a leash and walks very quickly. He enjoys several walks a day and loves to play in the snow.  He loves to play with his toys. He like to play ball with his humans and play with his Kong if it has a kibble in it.  Dante loves to lay on the floor especially the rug by the door where it is sunny. He loves to cuddle with his humans on the furniture. He sleeps in bed with our 13 year old quite contently.  When left home alone he has not been destructive.
When greeting new people, he is excited and jumps up but calms down and sometimes brings them a toy and wants to play.  Dante is excited when meeting dogs but shows no aggression.  He does not bark excessively. When we figure out what he is trying to communicate, he is satisfied and stops. He barks at other dogs if they bark first and sometimes barks at people on our walks. He is housebroken. We take him out every 2-3 hours. He tolerates grooming well. Overall, he is an absolute delight and has fit in very well.  Dante would do well with an active family who will take him for long walks 2-3 times a day and take the time to play with him.  He needs to be stimulated and kept active.  Dante would be well suited with a family with kids 8+ as he’s strong and would knock down the smaller kids.

February 11, 2017 – Dante is 4 years old.  He is a Pug X French Bulldog.  He is neutered and is about 45 lbs.  Dante was surrendered by his owner as he was getting jealous of the newborn baby so a home with kids over 8 would be ideal.  Dante will be going to the vet in the coming week for a complete check and to be brought up to date in his vaccination.  Stay tuned for more on Dante as we get to know him.
