My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dominic surely is a fitting name for this young social dog. While his foster was away for the summer, Dominic graciously shared his home with our Behavior Team. His welcoming demeanor towards dogs and new friends certainly were a "godsend". Over the summer Dominic hosted several dogs of varying sociability including: super long stay wheelie pup Emma, long stay Ruthie, spunky little Wagyu, and baby girl Nora. Dominic also fostered Clubby through heartworm treatment and they became thick as thieves. Dominic is also a playgroup rockstar here at APA! Dominic met a handful of new people over the summer including a dog savvy kid!

Dominic has been in his foster home with a lovely social female dog who helped show him the ropes in the home. His doggie sister helped him grow from a puppyish boy into a fine young adult doggo. Dominic can now roam freely when his people are away and does well meeting new friends. He enjoys snuggling in bed, on the couch, or napping on his own depending on your preference.

Dominic would do best in a home with a well-matched dog, but he'll also hear out other offers. Catch this cutie at the Town Lake Animal Center on Tuesdays when he comes in for doggie daycare, or click the blue button to learn more about him! You can also follow his adventures on instagram @asluhansensamling
