About Dino

🐾 Meet Dino, the incredible 2.5-year-old lovebug from the charming Netherlands! This spirited boy is bursting with happy dog energy just waiting to share it with the world! 🚀 Blindness may have become a recent chapter in his story, but let me tell you, that doesn't stop him from radiating positivity and confidence. After visits to two eye specialists, they believe he can still see shadows, but trust me, his zest for life is as vibrant as ever! Dino is a social butterfly! He adores everyone he meets—young, old, you name it! Whether it’s human friends or fellow furry pals, Dino’s charm sweeps them all off their paws! 🥰 While he sometimes unintentionally bumps into his foster dog sister, it’s all in good fun, and any resident pups will need to be okay with his joyful exuberance. Just keep an eye on Dino around young children; he could easily knock them down or trip over a sneaky toy! 🎾 This sweet boy is both house and crate trained and loves joining in on car rides—all while keeping it comfy and cozy in his crate. When he goes out, it’s an adventure filled with tantalizing scents as he explores the world around him with his nose, just like every captivating canine does! His skills include knowing how to sit, having decent recall, and his leash walking is surprisingly good too! And don’t even get me started on his love for tennis balls—he’s a pro at sniffing them out in the yard! 🎉 Now, because Dino navigates life without full sight, he’s looking for a gentle soul who can be patient and watchful as he discovers the world around him. Imagine enjoying a leisurely stroll while keeping him safe from fire hydrants and tree branches! 🏞️ He adapted to his foster home like a champ, mapping out every inch within days—now that’s some keen intelligence! Just remember, a clutter-free space is just what he needs to stay safe and sound. Dino dreams of having a human who spends plenty of time at home, offering him enrichment and mental challenges. He’s got the potential to excel in scent work, Rally-O, or even be a therapy dog, spreading joy in hospitals or schools! 🌟 This boy is not just looking for a place to stay; he’s seeking a lifelong companion to share love and adventures with. Currently, Dino is being fostered in lovely Charlottesville, VA. If you feel that maybe, just maybe, Dino is the companion you've been searching for, don’t hesitate! Apply to adopt him through the Buddy App today, and get ready to open your heart and home to this incredible dog! 💖
