About Dunkin

Start your journey together! Apply now. Dunkin arrived at the shelter along with two other dogs, Bandit and Brownie, after being relinquished by his former owners. Initially shy, Dunkin quickly blossomed into a friendly, playful companion who enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. He absolutely loves the outdoors, takes pleasure in playtime, and adores belly rubs that make him feel special. Described as highly loyal, Dunkin is always eager to be around his favorite humans, showering them with affection. Although said to be potty trained, he’s still working on adjusting to a new routine and environment, but his intelligence and eagerness to learn make him a fast study. Dunkin is looking for someone who will appreciate his gentle, loving nature and give him the stable home he deserves. Every animal adopted from Green Hills Animal Shelter is spayed or neutered, wormed, and receives age-appropriate vaccinations along with heartworm testing (if old enough). You'll also receive a starter bag of Hills Science Diet dog food to welcome Dunkin home. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
