About Dante SM

Meet Dante, a charming little guy with delightful wrinkles that are hard to resist. He's likely a Retriever mix with some Hound thrown in, but one thing's for sure—he's all adorable.

Now, he's ready to find his forever home! Be prepared: Dante is a puppy and is currently exploring the world around him, which means he's in a phase of ‘What is this? Can I chew on it?’ Toys are a blast for him, and he's learning about appropriate play items versus household treasures. He's looking for a family who understands that puppies need guidance, patience, and lots of love. In return, he'll offer endless joy with his goofy antics and charming personality. Dante does well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a perfect addition to a family. Ready to let Dante into your heart and home? He can't wait to meet you! Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX).
