Dino: Itty Bitty Rawr!

Jurassic Paradise:

•  Dino lives for premium couch real estate—he’ll happily park himself right next to you (or better yet, draped across your lap like a living throw blanket) while you binge-watch, read, or stare at the wall in peaceful silence.

•  He’s strictly a small-dog-only club kind of guy; anything bigger might accidentally step on his delicate “I’m basically a pocket T-Rex” ego.

•  Dino thrives with chill, submissive four-legged pals who understand the sacred art of low-energy lounging—no hyper zoomie-maniacs need apply, just fellow couch connoisseurs who respect his personal space bubble.

•  Kids 12 and up get the Dino stamp of approval—he’s cool with calm, respectful older kiddos who know how to approach a shy little dino without sudden movements, loud noises, or trying to turn him into a rodeo pony.

Dino Finds a Way

Meet Dino, the tiniest doodle with the biggest “tiny rawr, y’all” energy. He may look like he could be carried in a teacup, but this little legend is 100% certified couch potato supreme. This chill-as-a-sauropod companion prefers spectating life from your lap over any kind of zoomies. Toys? Pass. Treats? Yes, please. Walks? Only if they end with more couch privileges. He’s even content when tucked under your arm like a living purse accessory. 

Shy at first, Dino takes his sweet time warming up, but once he decides you’re his person, he’ll curl into the world’s cutest protest-ball the second you reach to pick him up—spoiler: he absolutely wants the VIP carry service, he’s just dramatically committed to the bit. His dream forever home is a peaceful, grandma-vibes sanctuary where low-key lounging is the main event, someone who won’t mind his initial “who are you, giant predator?” side-eye, and who’s happy to tote their pint-sized dino-dude around like royalty—because nothing says “fierce” like a 10-pound fluffball who rules the remote from your chest.

That’s the Plan

Dino’s adoption fee is $500. He is HW negative, current on all vaccinations and HW/flea preventatives, neutered, and microchipped. All adoption fees go toward expenses like medical costs and food for Doodle Dandy dogs and help make it possible for us to continue giving amazing pups like Dino a second chance. If you would like to fill out an application and you are within a 5-hour drive of one of our metro areas (DFW, Houston, Austin or San Antonio), please click on one of the Adoption Application buttons on this page and select DINO from the drop-down menu on the application form.
