About Dante

Meet Dante, a 9-year-old neutered male Malinois mix who is as sweet as he is smart. He's laid-back but has bursts of playfulness that will bring joy to your home. Dante thrives with structure and boundaries, making him an excellent companion for anyone seeking a calm pet. He enjoys chew toys and loves a good jaw rub, always ready to engage if you are. Though Dante is blind, he is determined to enjoy life fully and is well on his way to mastering his commands. He’s leash and crate trained and knows commands like "in," "out," "down," "right," and "left." Potty training is progressing, but he will require frequent breaks as he can’t hold it for long. Ideally, Dante would fit into a calm household, possibly with some mellow dog siblings or kids. He doesn’t have a prey drive, so he might do okay around cats—though it's best to check! This loving boy is in need of a nurturing home that adores him. With excellent support, he is ready to thrive. The best part? His adoption fee has been waived due to a generous sponsorship! Are you ready to welcome this beautiful boy into your home?
