Meet Dino!
Dino is a 3-year-old, 13-pound petite Jack Russell Terrier mix with a tender heart and a gentle soul. Unlike the typical high-octane terrier, Dino is a quiet, timid little guy who prefers calm over chaos and patience over commotion.
Dino is searching for a quiet, adult-only household where he can feel safe and understood. Not because he is aggressive with children — but because their lively energy would simply overwhelm him. When unsure, Dino's instinct isn't to react... it's to quietly retreat and hide.
He would thrive in a patient home that:
Has a physical fenced yard to keep him secure
Understands that leash walks are still scary for him
Will allow him time and space to build confidence
Offers calm routines and gentle reassurance
Dino has previously lived with other dogs and cats and has done well. In fact, he would truly benefit from a social, confident canine companion to show him the ropes and help him learn that the world isn't such a scary place.
Dino takes time to warm up to new people and environments, and while he seeks affection once comfortable, he does so on his terms. He can appear a little aloof at first, but once he is comfortable he forms an incredibly deep and loyal bond with those he trusts. He enjoys the comfort of sleeping in bed with his people as it makes him feel safe and secure. Dino is the kind of dog who may not rush to greet strangers, but will quietly follow his person from room to room, finding comfort just being near them.
Dino doesn't need excitement. He needs understanding. He needs someone who sees the beauty in a shy heart and is willing to let him bloom at his own pace. With patience, kindness, and consistency, Dino will slowly grow more confident — and the reward will be a devoted little shadow who loves you with his whole heart.
If you believe the best relationships are built on trust, gentleness, and time... Dino just might be your perfect match.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
