Dustin waited quietly in a crowded shelter, battling a tough upper respiratory infection and getting passed over time and time again. No one stopped. No one asked. But we did—and what we discovered is a sweet, soulful boy who was just waiting for someone to see him. Now safe, healthy, and starting to shine, Dustin is proving to be all heart.


Why He’s the Ultimate People-Lover
🐾 A true velcro dog—he thrives on human connection
💛 Leans in gently for pets and affection
👀 Follows you with that soft, “please love me” gaze
🏡 Grateful, mellow energy that makes every room feel warmer
🧸 Still learning the ropes, but eager to bond and be your best friend


What He’s Looking For
✔️ A family or adopter who wants a loyal shadow and cuddle buddy
✔️ A calm, loving home to continue decompressing
✔️ Someone patient and kind who’ll help him blossom at his own pace
✔️ No need for fancy adventures—he just wants your time and affection


Dustin may have been overlooked before, but his heart has never stopped hoping. Now he’s ready to pour all his love into someone who sees him for the sweet, soulful companion he is. If you’ve been searching for a quiet, loyal, love-soaked pup to share your life with—Dustin is waiting for you.
