Dante is famous at the shelter for the looks he gives everyone, those soft, cozy, focused “I’ve been waiting for you all day” eyes that instantly make you feel like the most important person in the world. He’ll freeze in place, ears perked, quietly studying you while he waits for your next command. This boy is pure sweetness and joy from start to finish.

Like all of us, Dante has a couple quirks. He can be a little protective of his food bowl, but honestly, same. Please don’t touch my dinner either. Once you get to know him (and truly, give it five minutes), you’ll see he’s an excellent listener, eager to please, and a world-renowned jokester. His signature move? The moment he suddenly remembers he has a tail and starts spinning in circles trying to catch it. It cracks us up every single time.
Dante listens, follows direction, and loves with his whole heart.

At the end of a long day, nothing beats the moment Dante lays across your chest, gives kisses and gives you that large dorky grin.
Dante enjoys most dogs, though he’s a bit goofy with introductions, so a dog-savvy family will set him up for success.
If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, affectionate companion with the very best smile… Dante is your guy.
