About Dante

Meet Dante, a professional chancleta thief who’s ready to fill your home with laughter and a bit of chaos. This playful little guy is still learning the ropes between dog toys and everything else around the house. He loves being near his people and settles in nicely for good sleep at night. His foster thinks he’d do well in a crate too. Dante has a few quirky hobbies; he finds joy in chewing on potty pads, paper towels, and yes, he’s recently taken a liking to chancletas (or as he calls it, collecting). But don’t worry, he also loves ice cubes more than pricey treats. He is currently living with another dog, and they are getting along well, learning from each other. While Dante is working on his potty training, he has a bright puppy personality. He’s in search of a family that can provide structure, patience, and plenty of things appropriate for chewing. If you’re missing some cuddly chaos in your life and perhaps a few chancletas, Dante is the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
