My story

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

If you look back to earlier pictures of Santino, it's obvious that he is growing up with us. Growing up in a shelter is no way to grow up! Santino is 2 years old, if that, and he needs a stable and loving home already. He arrived in August of 2023 as a stray and due to his need for a pet and kid-free home, it's made it difficult for Santino to get discovered. Please don't pass him up! Santino is smart and knows perfectly well to behave, he just needs someone that will direct him. He'll jump and twist and even get a little grabby while playing but he means no harm and if you guide him to behave, he most certainly will. He knows how to walk perfectly on a leash, sit, stay, lay down, and he even takes treats very gently. In a good home with a yard to exercise in and a family to love him, Santino will positively thrive. Please give Santino a chance! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application.
