About Domino
Meet Domino! This soulful twelve-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier resides in Asheville, NC, and brings a calming presence wrapped in a handsome black and white coat. Domino embraces the art of enjoying simple pleasures. Trade youthful excitement for leisurely morning walks, peaceful car rides, and sunlit naps on the floor. He prefers the comfort of your company rather than constant entertainment, finding joy in cozy afternoons spent nearby while you work or lending a paw during errands. Described as an old soul, Domino notices changes around him and offers steady, comforting support—be it a good day or a challenging one. His favorite activities include easy walks, outings with his loved ones, and snoozing close to the action. House-trained, non-destructive, microchipped, and neutered, he's well-mannered and up to date on vaccinations. Domino gets along with other dogs and would thrive with an easygoing canine companion. While he may tolerate cats, gentle introductions are advisable. He knows commands like sit, stay, and down—though he admits he’s a bit rusty. Being a senior dog comes with specific care needs. Domino takes inexpensive medications for arthritis and a digestive issue, and although he has a heart murmur, it’s managed without meds. His hearing has waned, making him less reactive to doorbells. For Domino, a calm, low-stress home is ideal. An experienced owner who understands senior dog needs would be perfect. He has shown discomfort around toddlers, having communicated his boundaries with nips. A professional trainer backs this up, suggesting it’s about communication, not aggression. Thus, he requires a home without young children. However, he has thrived around older kids—especially respectful ones around eight years and older. If your family can share peaceful walks, sunny naps, and companionship with this gentle old soul, Domino would love to meet you. A medication stipend may be available to assist with his ongoing senior care needs. Domino is also open to long-distance adoption; love truly knows no bounds!
