Dao and his companion Bong came to us through one of the most difficult kinds of surrenders we receive. Their owner loved them deeply, but a serious health situation made it impossible to continue caring for them. It was not a choice made lightly, and it was not made without heartbreak. But it was made out of love, and the greatest wish for these two boys is that they find the safe, warm home they deserve.

Dao has spent seven years being someone’s beloved companion, and it shows in everything about him. With his sleek golden coat and warm, steady eyes, he is as handsome as he is gentle. Calm, friendly, and deeply affectionate, he is the kind of dog who settles into your life quietly and becomes completely essential to it. He walks beautifully on a leash, gets along well with other dogs, and has an easy, grounded nature that makes him a joy to be around.

Dao is ready to give his whole heart to a new family. We would love nothing more than to see him and Bong adopted together, but he can also find happiness in a home of his own. If you think you could be the person he has been waiting for, please reach out today.
