Finding Lost or Stolen Pets

Dino:
Dino was adopted from Grateful Dog
Rescue out of San Francisco in
December 2007. We have dappled in
agility, racing, obedience and
anything else.
Dino has also passed his Canine
Good Citizen Test. He had to retake
it a second time because he wouldn't
stop playing with the tester in the first
test. He has also passed a national
temperament test after I had only had
him for six months.
Dino is super friendly and love
everybody, especially other dogs and
cats. He has a very soft spot for
squirrels and lizards. They can grab
his attention and keep it for what
feels like eternity.
