**DOG IS LOCATED IN KANSAS CITY, MO**
Dante comes from Odessa, Missouri, where he was brought in to the local animal shelter by the person who found him wandering around outside. Not much is known about his life previously, other than he was microchipped, but no one ever returned the shelter's calls to claim him. He is currently being fostered in Kansas City, Missouri. Our vets think he is around 7 years old, and he is between 13 and 14 pounds. He appears to be house-trained, since he has only had a few accidents inside, and most were when the environment was still new to him. Because he lives with other boy dogs, they all wear belly bands to prevent any territorial marking. He is extremely good about not marking, even without the belly band. Dante is definitely not a fan of being crated, but he tolerates it. He puts up a very small amount of resistance when it's time to go into the crate, but once inside, there is typically no crying or barking. He is always crated when his foster parents leave the house, so he is getting used to it. At night he sleeps in the human bed, but he would probably be content to sleep in a dog bed as well. Dante is the epitome of a sweetheart! He is very mild-mannered, but not at all shy or timid. He loves to cuddle on the couch with his foster parents, or with one of his foster brothers, an 8 year-old pug. He gets along well with other dogs, although we have to keep an eye on him during feeding time because he tends to wander over to the other dogs' food and tries to "share" with them. He has not been around children while in foster care, but nothing indicates he would have issues with them. He walks very well on a leash, and in general is not a pushy dog. We are working on basic commands right now, mainly "sit." He does a great job of coming to you when you call him. He is not the biggest fan of being picked up and carried around, but he will tolerate it when necessary. In short, Dante is a very loving dog and would be a great companion!
