My story

Iandamp;#39;ve got a personality that canandamp;#39;t be beat! Iandamp;#39;m Lando&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m young&#44 wiggly&#44 very friendly&#44 and happy all the time. Iandamp;#39;m also cute as a bug in a rug. Ok&#44 ok&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll mention that Iandamp;#39;ve got a little bit of anxiety that Iandamp;#39;m working on&#44 but itandamp;#39;ll be ok. I think it may be shelter life that causes my nervousness. It is a stressful place&#44 and you donandamp;#39;t want to be too trusting. Iandamp;#39;m cautious&#44 but I let that personality of mine shine through now that Iandamp;#39;ve spent a little time here. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My backstory is one of initial despair which turned into hope. I was scared and all alone on the 4th of July. The fireworks were terrifying to me&#44 so I found a porch in the night where I somehow felt safe. It turns out it was my very best decision! I ended up on the front porch of a manager with the HERO Team from Great Plains! Yep&#44 what a lucky guy I was. She took me in for the night&#44 and thatandamp;#39;s how I ended up here&#44 looking for a home now.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I love to play&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m super great with other dogs. Heck&#44 I even made a new best friend the other day. We were jumping and wrestling each other within seconds of meeting. Maybe itandamp;#39;s just easier for a dog to trust a dog&#44 right? I want so much to be somebodyandamp;#39;s best friend again&#44 and part of a family that loves me. I want to be loved&#44 I want to be cared for&#44 and I want to matter again. Could you be my new family?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Landoandlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If you have kids in the home&#44 please bring them in to meet me. We all need to get to know each other at the shelter. Thanks!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lando, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
