Step right up and meet the heartwarming, tail-wagging wonder that is Dante! 🐶 At just 10 months old and currently weighing 45 lbs, this lovable Cattle Dog and Spaniel mix is ready to leap into the next exciting chapter of his life—a life filled with love, laughter, and plenty of fetch! 🎾✨ Imagine a young lad who has spent his early months in a boarding and shelter setting, shyly emerging from his shell like a butterfly. 🌼 Dante is looking for a peaceful abode, preferably in the suburbs where he can flourish without the hustle and bustle of the city. His ideal forever home would also include a buddy—a dog friend—to guide him in the ways of doggy life. 🐕 With the perfect blend of sweetness and silliness, Dante adores frolicking in the backyard, playing fetch, and enjoying the exhilarating freedom to run laps like the wind! 🏃‍♂️ His foster parent can't help but smile as they watch him transform from a reserved pup into a delightful companion who is always by their side, leaning in for those oh-so-precious cuddles. And trust this: he's got a charm that could melt anyone's heart, especially when he lands at their feet or clambers atop them like a gentle giant. 😻 Dante may be a little bashful around men, barking at first but then quickly settling into a world of joy and comfort once he feels safe. He's a real wallflower, but with a sprinkle of love and patience, he’ll shine like the diamond he is. His playful antics, coupled with an affectionate spirit, make him the perfect addition to a family. Let’s not forget his impressive potty training skills! 🌟 Only a few accidents here and there, but he seems to have mastered the art of doing his business outside. He can be a little shy about it, but once he gets a cue, he’s a champ! And he's known to occasionally mistake his human's sleeper for a chew toy during sleepy time—adorable, right? 💤 Dante is social with his four-legged friends, gentle around children aged 12 and up, and even displays kindness towards cats! 🐱 His low mouthy behavior means he keeps chewing to the dog toys and bones, making him a lovely house guest. And while he’s getting the hang of leash walking, there's still a little room for improvement, but he responds well to corrections! 🚶‍♂️✨ This boy is ready to bring laughter and love into a calm household—if your home sounds like the perfect match for Dante, don’t hesitate! *Apply through the Buddy App* to make this charming boy a cherished member of your family! 🏡💖 Most of our pets come from rescue efforts in states where resources are limited, and Dante is no different. He is part of a community that believes in second chances. Dante is currently thriving in a loving foster home, where he is receiving all the attention he deserves!
