Story
Meet Domino - a 50lb, 10-month-old Border Collie / Cattle Dog mix. Domino came into our lives when we picked him up after he had been abandoned in an empty lot as a tiny puppy and rescued by our local animal shelter. He has beautiful, inquisitive blue eyes and a fluffy tail nearly always wagging. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots with a clean bill of health.
Domino is friendly, playful, and curious. He has a lot of energy and loves to play - he likes to play tug, tag, and he will bring you toys and drop them in your lap when he’s ready for more games. He’s also incredibly sweet and loves hugs, kisses, and cuddles. He’ll boop his own nose if you point at his nose, and he’ll flop on the floor or couch to ask for belly rubs. Domino has never met a cat and he hasn’t spent much time around kids, but since he’s an energetic boy, he may be best with kids who aren’t smaller than he is. Domino may appreciate dog siblings if they are closer to his size - they should meet first to ensure everyone gets along - but he can’t cohabitate with small dogs or other small animals; his cattle dog heritage means that he has a high prey drive. He is very affectionate toward people and will be happiest in a home with a yard where he gets lots of attention and exercise.
He’s learning how to sit, stay, and lie down. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and uses a doggy door with ease. He needs more practice walking on a leash, as he still gets easily distracted by all the exciting sights and smells of the neighborhood. He is a chewer, so he’ll need good, safe chew bones and chewy treats when he isn’t running in the yard or getting cuddles. We’d like his new family to know that the need to rehome is due to incompatibility with small dogs -- we wish we could be his forever home, but our small dogs need to keep their home, too.
Domino is an absolute treasure - eager to learn, sweet and loving, adorable, and full of playful puppy energy. If he sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please apply to adopt him today!
