Meet Domino 🖤🤍

At 35 lbs, a birthday April 2023, Domino is the perfect “pocket pittie” size… small enough to scoop up, and she fully expects you to do exactly that.

This affectionate, happy-go-lucky girl is a total snugglebug at heart. Domino loves being held, cuddled, and doted on, and if you hit the right spot with those pets, she’ll reward you with the cutest little snorts and even some sleepy-time snores… yes, even while she’s awake.

Domino is still getting used to the world around her. Having never lived in a home before, things like ceiling fans and new environments can be a little scary at first. She may be timid initially, but she warms up quickly with patience, love, and reassurance.

Once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines. She’s incredibly people-focused, loves being your shadow, and is perfectly content with a short walk followed by a long cuddle session. She’s not the most athletic girl, but she is an expert-level couch companion.

Domino gets along well with other dogs and tends to be unbothered by distractions like squirrels or passing pups. She’s crate trained, knows “come,” and is currently working on house training and leash manners.

She does have some patchy fur and sensitive skin from past neglect, but with proper nutrition and care, she’s already on the path to looking and feeling her best.

Her favorite party trick? Flopping upside down in your lap like a baby for belly rubs. It’s non-negotiable.

From Domino: “I just want to be loved, and being close to you will be my love language.”

If you’re looking for a cuddly, quirky, big-hearted companion who just wants to be close to her person, Domino is ready to claim her spot in your lap 💕

She is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on core vaccinations, has been dewormed, spayed, microchipped, will be heartworm tested, and is on monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of core vaccinations along with the cost of her care while in foster. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dog’s age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Domino, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
