Story
Did you hear that? Because I definitely did! Hi, Im Domino, and I take my job as neighborhood observer very seriously. My radar-dish ears and piercing brown eyes help me keep tabs on absolutely everything going on around me. Add in my Batman-style mask, long lean body, and a whole lot of puppy wiggles, and you've got one pretty handsome guy. Im about 53 pounds now, and my foster parents think Im mostly done growing although Ill probably fill out a little and get even stronger. One of my favorite hobbies is watching the world. Birds in the sky? I see them. Squirrels in the yard? Keeping an eye on them. Something unusual outside? Ill let out one big bark from deep in my belly just to make sure my people know they might want to investigate. Dont worry Im not one of those dogs who barks forever. I simply believe every good security system should give a proper alert. Speaking of important jobs, every morning I make sure my foster parents are awake by performing my signature move: the BIG STRETCH...right across their toes. They act like they're trying to avoid me as they dance around the kitchen, but I know they secretly appreciate my enthusiastic morning greetings. When it comes to playtime, Im all in. Tug-of-war is one of my absolute favorite games, and if you accept my challenge, be prepared I have a surprisingly strong neck and every intention of winning. My foster parents say Im an assertive but appropriate playmate because I know how to jump into the fun and, with a little guidance, settle back down again. They're also helping me channel my natural herding instincts into chewing on bones and playing with toys instead of trying to organize everyone else. Honestly, that seems like a pretty good trade. My days have lots of structure, and I really thrive on it. Potty training came naturally because I know how to let my people know when I need to go outside. During the day, Im perfectly happy relaxing in my kennel or my own puppy space for a few hours, and at night I put myself to bed and sleep soundly for 8-9 hours. Im also becoming quite the walking buddy. I wear a head halter on my walks, and while Im definitely interested in everything happening around me, Im easy to redirect and enjoy working with my person. Im very motivated by both food and toys, so teaching me new things is actually pretty fun. One thing my foster family does keep an eye on is my curiosity. I like to investigate the world with my nose and sometimes my mouth. Because of that, they supervise me to make sure I don't snack on things that definitely aren't part of a balanced puppy diet, like toy stuffing, grass clippings, or mystery treasures I find outside. In my current foster home, I live with a five-year-old child, and we get along great! I dont currently live with another dog, but Ive had a doggy best friend before. In my former foster home, I lived with another dog, and we got along wonderfully. I also have fun with the neighbors dog we meet through the fence and love to run and play together! I adore my people and never turn down a good couch cuddle, but deep down, Im what my foster family calls a dogs dog. Having a confident canine companion in my forever home would be at the very top of my wish list! I have completed my first class at Paws Abilities and am starting my second class this week. This helps me sharpen my manners, improve my impulse control, and become an even better companion. Im a smart pup, and I cant wait to show everyone what Im capable of. My dream family will appreciate my curious mind, playful spirit, and silly personality while continuing to give me the structure and training I thrive on. If youre looking for a loyal adventure buddy, an enthusiastic tug-of-war champion, an expert morning alarm clock, and your very own four-legged security system, I think Im your guy. I cant wait to meet you! Please visit our website saveabullmn.org to learn more about this amazing pet and see other available dogs.
