About Dingo

Dingo is around a year old and was found underweight in Leonard Park, likely after being abandoned. Lanky and still growing, he clocks in at just 41 lbs right now. His short tan coat needs a little extra nourishment. Dingo has passed his daycare test and gets along well with other dogs. He loves to run and play, so an active home is ideal. While he hasn’t met any cats, it’s suspected he wouldn’t coexist easily with them. Dingo is potty trained and crate trained, so he’s already well-mannered indoors. He shows some shyness at first and flinches if hands move quickly near his head, signs that he hasn’t always been treated kindly. He warms up quickly but would do best in a home without small children. He’s vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, neutered, and ready for someone to give him the stability he hasn’t known so far. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
