51981286
Located At: Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter
Description: My name is Dino.
I am a male, black and brown Terrier mix.
I am a male, black and brown Terrier mix.
Age: The shelter staff think I am about 5 years old.
More Info: I have been at the shelter since Jan 31, 2023.
On a cold January evening, Dino arrived at the shelter frightened, overwhelmed, and unsure of the world around him. At just 44 pounds, he tried to make himself invisible, curling up beneath a blanket in the back of his kennel where he felt safest. While we may never know Dino’s past, it’s clear that trust doesn’t come easily for him. He is a sensitive dog who will need an experienced, adult only home willing to let him move at his own pace. Dino isn’t looking for instant friendship.. He needs patience, understanding, and the time to feel safe.
The good news? He has truly blossomed since first arriving here. The people who have earned Dino’s trust have discovered a gentle, sweet dog beneath the fear. Little by little, he’s learning that the world isn’t as scary as he once believed. Dino’s future family will need patience, but the reward will be watching him grow into the loving companion we know he can be. He may take a little longer than most, but Dino is absolutely worth it.
