About Adonis

Meet Adonis, a charming 5-year-old Formosian mix known for his handsome looks and sweet personality. Weighing about 30 lbs, he brings warmth and joy to every moment. Originally adopted as a puppy from Taiwan, he’s back in search of a loving home after the unexpected loss of his first owner. Adonis is currently fostered by his dog walker and trainer, who knows him well and is helping prepare him for his next chapter. Though he can be a bit shy in new situations, he quickly opens up to those who give him the time and space he needs. Adonis has lived harmoniously with a cat and is great around older kids and teenagers, making him a lovely companion for a family. He’s both potty trained and crate trained, and enjoys adventures like hiking and beach trips. However, he prefers to skip dog parks, feeling more confident with a dog sibling by his side. Adonis thrives on cuddles and prefers a home that prioritizes positive reinforcement and compassionate training methods. If you’re the kind-hearted family Adonis has been waiting for, fill out an adoption application. He can’t wait to meet you!
