Description:Dominic was surrendered to Safe Haven by his family when they had to move, and could no longer provide care for him. They had raised him from birth, and he was one of 8 pups in his litter. His mom is a Bullmastiff, and father is a German Shepherd/Coonhound mix. Dominic definitely has a unique appearance - especially his color, it is a striking mix of shades of brown and black.
His owner loved Dominic and took great care to ensure he would find a new loving forever home. He said that Dominic loves to cuddle and give kisses - and has been good with kids, cats, and other dogs. Dominic is a typical pup, and can be highly active until he gets a good run or suitable exercise. We have noticed it takes Dominic a little bit to warm up to new people, but once he is comfortable with you, he is such a nice dog. His owner tells us that Dominic's favorite things are to go for car rides, play tug-o-war, fetch, and go for a run.
Dominic is used to being kenneled when left alone in his house, and does enjoy his chew toys .... or even an occasional shoe :) after all, he is still a young dog, not quite a year old! So adding Dominic to your family will come with all the responsibilities that a puppy brings. He will need work to help finish up his housetraining and to have lots of appropriate toys to chew on, in order to save all the things he shouldn't be chewing on. Taking a basic obedience class with a trainer is always highly recommended when adding a new canine to your family, especially when it is a young pup. We know Dominic will make a great addition to some lucky family, so if you are active and looking for a great companion to add to your active lifestyle - he may be the perfect fit for you!
