Tino

My story

Courtesy Post — Tino Needs YOU! FIVE MONTHS and counting — that’s how long sweet Tino has been waiting for a foster or forever home after being heartbreakingly surrendered by his family (through no fault of his own — it was a cat issue!). Tino is a 2-year-old, 65-pound lovebug currently stuck in boarding at Lucky Stars Kennels in Carroll County, Maryland — and he is SO ready to break free and join a loving home. This handsome boy was a daycare favorite at Lucky Stars, known for his affectionate nature and A+ snuggle skills. He thrives on human connection — belly rubs, playtime, and simply hanging out with his people. Unfortunately, after one bad experience with a small dog, he can’t do group play anymore. Tino would LOVE to be your one-and-only or could do well with a calm female dog buddy. Tino is: Neutered  Great with older kids  Crate-trained  Active, fun-loving, and full of life  Always ready for a good frog pose stretch (and belly rubs!) This sweet pit mix has waited long enough. After everything he’s been through, Tino deserves more than a kennel run — he deserves a real home, a best friend, and a new chapter. He’ll thrive in a home with structure, exercise, and plenty of affection — think walks, hikes, a fenced yard, or weekend adventures. His heart is wide open — all he needs now is YOU. Ready to foster or adopt? Help us get Tino out of boarding — he’s been waiting five long months! Currently in Carroll County, Maryland   ***Disclaimer*** Unfortunately, there are not enough rooms at the inn to admit every dog that needs a furever home. But, we still want to help those dogs (and cats) on their journey! By courtesy posting, AAHA is offering our website/network as an additional resource to help an owner or shelter gain additional exposure for the dog they are trying to place. AAHA has not met nor evaluated the dog (or cat) we are courtesy posting. AAHA makes no representation about courtesy posted pets including the health and temperament and accepts no liability in this exchange. Arrangements for adoptions are made between the caretaker of the pet and the potential adopter. July 25, 2025, 8:18 pm
