About this Dog
Meet Dingo! 10-year-old Dingo was entrusted to our care through our Final Wish Program after his mom passed away. He arrived on December 3rd, just days after losing her. We have been tasked with healing his heart and finding him a new forever family. Might it be you? Dingo is a happy walking partner on our weekly hikes. He is super sweet and good with other dogs on the trail. Dingo also loves to snuggle, and he is so soft! Dingo went on a two-week Frosted Fling, and we learned so much about what he is like in a home environment. His Fling Mom reports: "Dingo is such a spunky little guy - he’s been so much fun to have for the past two weeks! Dingo is a great eater. He wasn’t really into his food the first 24 hours with us but he was probably stressed from all the changes from losing his mom to being dropped off on site and then into our home. We have learned he doesn’t like water being added to his food, but he drinks plenty of water throughout the day so I’m not worried about his hydration. He ate near the other dogs totally fine - everyone ate in the kitchen. We did notice that occasionally our other dogs would bully him away from his food. so we made sure to keep them away until he was done. And then everyone would take turns licking all the bowls to makes sure not a crumb was left. Dingo is very playful and has a lot of energy for a 10 year old chihuahua. He took long walks with us no problem. At home, he isn't very into toys, but he gets these spurts of energy and will want to play with everyone. Dingo isn't much of a barker until he wants to play, and that's definitely how he tries to get other dogs (and us) to pay attention to him. He also loves to give kisses, be petted, and get belly rubs. Dingo is super excited to see you when you leave and come home. Dingo also has a soft, snuggly side though. At night, and when he is finally tired out, his chihuahua love for burrowing comes out. He loves to snuggle up in your lap or next to you under the covers and snore away. Although he will get up and find another spot when he gets a little too warm! Dingo is great with other dogs at home and off leash. He did great with my dog and my other foster dog. For the most part they just coexisted, but there were times when they would play and chase each other and it was so sweet to see! We did also do a cat test on site at FFF, and he got really excited by the resident senior cat). Dingo did his tail wag, barking, play bow bouncing, and it was too much for the cat, so he would probably be best in a cat-free home. Dingo is such a sweet boy with me. He loves giving kisses, getting pet, playing and snuggling, but can still a bit spicy with my husband. Dingo does NOT bite. He has not ever bitten us, but he does have what I usually call "gremlin mode" during which he is very clear that he is not happy with what is happening and makes gremlin/snarly/growly sounds and gets a little mouthy. Again, Dingo does NOT bite. This happened a few times when I tried to take his sweater off on site (before he knew me), sometimes when my husband tried to pick him up, occasionally when he's near or on me first and another dog gets close he'll guard me a little. But I just tell him "enough" and he's good. We had some friends over one night for some board games and Dingo barked with the girls for a little when they entered, and then happily accepted pets, so again, he's definitely not aggressive. Dingo has barked and growled at my 1 year old kid a couple times - my kid is pretty chill about it, but I think older kids/adults would be better for this pup. A calm, but decently active family would be perfect for him. Dingo is crate trained. He goes in without a problem, although sometimes we did have to use a treat or just pick him up to get him in when he knew we were leaving the house. He slept in his crate at night and whenever we left the house. Dingo is sensitive about his back paws being touched. It was definitely challenging trimming his nails (I only used a Dremel), but they were so long I had to persevere and get them done. And he definitely fights getting his paws wiped after going outside (he stepped in some mud), but just kicks a little and then is fine once you're done. Dingo can be a door dasher, so definitely put his leash on and have a good grip on it before opening the door. He just gets so excited he's ready to go! But if he does manage to slip out if you call his name he does stop. Dingo definitely knows his name, and will mostly come when called. If you have food, it's guaranteed though. And he knows how to sit, but we haven't figured out if he knows any other commands yet. Dingo is a sweet sweet boy in need of love and fun! He is such a good boy, and we hope he finds his forever family very soon!" Dingo is back on-site and ready for his forever home!

Adopt Dingo and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Dingo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Dingo's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Dingo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Dingo's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Dingo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Dingo’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Dingo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Dingo’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
