About Dink

Dink is a seasoned pro at snuggling, and he's got an impressive weakness for snacks and ice cubes. When the ice maker rattles, he perks up, politely expecting a treat—it's just how things work in his world. This laidback senior lives easily with other dogs his size or smaller, adapting well to new canine friends after proper introductions. While he occasionally gets a spark of playfulness, his favorite pastimes are stretching out, soaking up all the attention, and studying you during meals in hopes you'll share. He's crate trained but definitely prefers to be with his people and will eventually settle if left alone for a bit. Dink has done well with older kids, always welcoming during family gatherings, and he enjoys hopping in the car or being out and about where he can charm admirers in exchange for a few pats. Dink is on a lifelong medication, which he's handling great—it just means he drinks more water and needs regular potty breaks. Keep his routine consistent, and he'll do just fine. If you want a gentle, affectionate "hippo" who lives for cuddles and being part of daily life, Dink is your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
