Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ON TRIAL / EN PERIODE D'ESSAI
My name is Dino and I have a story to tell. I’m about 10 years old and I figure I don’t have to mince my words – I’m gonna tell it like it is! I was someone’s pet for many years. I got old, my breath got a little stinky, my teeth needed some work, and I had a cyst that was just left untreated. I loved my family, was always there for them, and even wagged my tail on days that I wasn’t feeling great. One day they decided I was just too much of a problem and decided to pass the problem – meaning me – onto someone else. The worst part is they took the cowardly way out and dumped me like a piece of garbage in a field. I felt so frightened and abandoned that day; I will never forget the feeling of despair. What were they thinking? As luck would have it, the field where they decided to dump me was right beside the Animatch Centre. The kind people took me in and promised that they would do all they could for me. I get chills just thinking of what could have happened if I had ended up somewhere else. It could have been “lights out” for me! I guess my time wasn’t up and for that I am very grateful. I am going to be neutered (they tell me it’s not so bad), have some dental work done, and the Doc is going to remove a cyst. The Doc says that I’ll be up and around in no time. If you are looking for a friend, I could sure use one too. I’m ready to put the past behind and enjoy my senior years with a family who will smile when they see me coming! I promise that there a lot of wagging left in this tail. Fill in the Adoption Form and give me a chance to show my appreciation.
