Domino is a very sweet, loving little boy. He is just over a year old and at first shies away from new people, as he gets very nervous. He needs time to warm up to anyone who’s new to him, but once he’s comfortable Domino turns into a lovebug. He’ll make a perfect little lap dog!
He also loves playing fetch with his stuffed animals and he loves burying himself into blankets. When the Center dog-tested him, he did great with the other dogs. Domino goes into a play group every day with about five other dogs to help keep him socialized and to give him some exercise.
Since he can be shy and nervous at first, he would do best in a home with older children who’ll understand that they need to take their time in order to bond and become friends with him. Domino hasn’t shown any signs of food/toy aggression since he’s been at the shelter, with staff or other dogs.
Domino will need a family that will take their time with him and not rush him into new situations. The ideal family will work with him to become more socialized with new people/new situations. Come meet Domino!
To meet Domino and other pets in need of homes please visit the nonprofit, no-kill Center for Animal Health and Welfare located at 1165 Island Park Road, Easton, or call 610-252-2722 for more information.

The center is open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12 to 4 p.m. and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 12 to 6 p.m. Please note: If a dog you would like to meet (such as Domino) is housed at the shelter, please call the front desk to prearrange a visit. Prescheduling a visit will give you the time necessary to see if the dog you’re interested in is a good fit. Unscheduled visits with dogs are allowed, but are limited to one dog per day for a maximum of 15 minutes per visit.
