In the shelter’s words

Dominic is a big personality in a tiny package. When he gets excited, he jumps like a little goat, and his tongue—somehow longer than the rest of his body— hangs out, he seems as though he would feel right at home on a stand up comedy stage-he’s a total goof. Dominic is, how you say, OBSESSED with being cozy, give him a good blanket or an oversized dog bed, and you’ll move to the top of his favorite people list FAST. While he’s not a cuddly lap dog, he does like being near his people, keeping them company while still enjoying his own space. He’s the perfect match for someone who appreciates a dog with a sense of humor, strong opinions about comfort, and a unique personality. Dominic may not be in your lap, but he’ll absolutely be in your heart—and probably hogging the best blanket in the house. Dominic is from Texas.

An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
