Geraldine, affectionately known as "Dina, is a delightful dog with a zest for life - her personality
shines through in everything she does. She has a particular fondness for squeaky toys; she can
often be found playfully tossing them around and enjoying the cheerful sounds they make. Dina
is a true foodie, savoring every treat she receives, making her a joy to train and reward. Dina is
housebroken and also knows a few commands already, including "sit and gives her paw
eagerly while sitting for a treat!
Dina walks wonderfully on a leash, making strolls through the park a pleasant experience for
both her and her human companions. Additionally, Dina has a special love for car rides, eagerly
hopping into the car and enjoying the journey, whether it's a short trip to the store or a longer
adventure. Mostly she takes a nap in the back seat, but peaks her head up front for a couple
kisses every now and then.
One of Dina's most endearing qualities is her love for pets and belly rubs, which soothe her to
sleep and make her feel cherished. When it's time to settle down, Dina goes into her crate with
ease, finding comfort and security in her own little space. Until she feels comfortable in her new
home, she may need a little help and patience in making sure she feels safe when she's left
alone. It might take her a little time to put her trust in you since the humans she knew before left
her out on the street.
She is an incredibly loyal companion, forming deep bonds with her human family. Dina might do
best as the only dog in an adult-only home, where she can be the center of attention and
receive all the love she deserves.
Dina's combination of playfulness, affection, and loyalty make her a wonderful companion for
those who can provide her with a stable, loving home.
