Gino has earned the nickname "the Dude" for a reason. He’s a medium-sized, three-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a fondness for water—if there’s a kiddie pool, you’ll find him lounging and sunbathing, lost in his own world. Though still a bit wary around people, he makes up for it with genuine sweetness when he opens up. Gino feels safest with a patient person who respects his need for time and space. He does best with a fenced yard where he can relax and prefers homes with other friendly dogs as companions. With the right person and a steady routine, Gino settles in as a steady, loving, slightly quirky friend—especially if you share his appreciation for lazy afternoons and playtime with other pups.
