Meet Tinto! This sweet, floofy little friend is ready to wiggle his way into a new home and right into your heart. Tinto was found as a stray, so his past is a mystery — but his future is certainly bright! The community member who found Tinto shared that he got along well with their two large dogs and he was perfectly behaved in their home. In the shelter, he has also show us he's potty trained and walks great on a leash. With treats and some time to earn his trust, you'll find a new best friend with an endless well of love to give!
