A Greenville, North Carolina, animal shelter is wondering if there is anyone out there who will take a chance on their longest canine resident, Tinto. On Thursday, the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina reached out on behalf of the homeless shelter dog, writing:
My name is Tinto, and I am the longest resident here at The Humane Society of Eastern Carolina. Some of you may have seen me at the facility, and that is because I have spent 365 days here searching for my forever family.
The shelter explains that Tinto often gets “very stressed” at the facility and it is not a true reflection of his personality. From Tinto’s perspective, the shelter outlines the requirements needed for his future home:
First, I will need my new family to understand that I am still young and often act like a big puppy. Because of this, I will need a home that is prepared to continue to work with me on my leash manners and not jumping on people.
Secondly, at this time, It is not recommended that I go to a home with young children. Although, I would be fine with older kids.
Lastly, this isn’t a requirement, but I wouldn’t mind a canine sibling to play with and keep me company if they are okay with my size and that I might be scared of them at first. However, feline siblings aren’t a good match for me.
Shelter staff added:
“Tinto is such a good boy! Sometimes he gets very excited and does not know his size, but he wants nothing more than to be your best friend. Tinto often gets stressed out at our facility, but with training, enrichment, and staff field trips, he is as happy as he can be despite being with us for a year.”
Will you please take a moment to help this long-time shelter resident find his perfect home?
