Hey everyone!!!!  My name is DANTE!!!!!  And I am the biggest small fry there ever was!!!!  I wish I could tell you what my “breed” is. My mom just laughs when people ask her…….she says all we know is there’s “weiner” in there somewhere. I guess you can take that now you want ……but I know I’m short (short is the new tall don’t you know) and long (I know this as my mom says it’s hard to find a sweater that fits). I know I’m 100% cute.  I hear that alot I’m a young buck….I think about 3-4 months old now. I don’t really know, nor does my foster mom who saved me. It feels like I’ve been on earth for a long time, but I’ve also had to grow up fast since I’ve been on my own for so long. I’m currently being fostered with 7 other dogs. Big and small. I could care less what their size is. I love them all. I love to snuggle with them and play with them. Sometimes they get annoyed with me….but I still don’t care….because I want to play!!!!!  Mom keeps telling my big sisters to tell me off, but they won’t…..(I know they secretly love me)…..so mom sometimes puts me on a time out so I will leave them alone. I guess it’s ok….I sometimes don’t realize I need a nap and I DO love to snuggle!!!!! I am crate trained and sleep in my crate at night. I’ve slowly wiggled my way into my parents bed….but they NOTICED!!!!!  I keep trying every night, but they always find me and put me in my crate. My mom says that it’s because I need to be crate trained before I find my forever home. But she said that if I do a good job, my forever family may let me snuggle in their bed at night!!!!!  I’m really hoping that is true because did I mention I LOVE to snuggle?!  So I’m being such a good boy in my crate at night and when my parents are at work because I really want my forever family to snuggle me all night long!!!!  Because I am still a puppy, and I get bored easily, I go in my crate when my parents have to work or go out. I run in (because I know I get treats!!!) and my mom gives me a chew and as long as the music is playing I am good and have a nap!!!  I also eat in my crate. This is because I eat SO fast (I’m still learning that I have access to food all the time now) and will steal the other dogs’ food. My mom has been teaching me to slow down and that I don’t have to fight for my food anymore. I’m trying to remember, but it will just take time. I’m pretty much house trained (that’s what my mom says anyways). I like to think I’m FULLY trained, but apparently because I don’t like the rain or really any bad weather and use the mat INSIDE on those days, that means I can’t say I’m FULLY trained. But I know my mom wouldn’t want to get her hair wet to pee either….so I don’t see the big deal ‍♀️ I live with teenagers, no small kids. But my mom said that because im such a lover I could live with any age human. I love to play and may steal toys…..but I promise to give it back (if you catch me in time!!!). I’ve never met a cat, but im just a silly playful boy and would love ANY kind of fur siblings that will play with me. From Dante’s foster mom: “I found Dante under a house. He was so small, but mighty at the same time. He was eating cooked chicken bones he had found in the garbage. When he saw me though he just ran over with the wiggliest bum. He is the most awesome guy. He is fierce but loving. He goes with the flow and has inserted himself in our pack with very little effort. He is SO smart and I know is going to have the best life. He’s a hard one to let go, we will miss him a lot” Dante is being fostered in Severn https://www.hankshaven.ca/forms/
