Meet Domino! Domino is a nice senior dog who doesn't ask for much just give him a blanket, a toy or time outside and he's content. He was surrendered by his previous owner after being adopted from CACC in 2017. His former family shared that he did well with other dogs and that loud noises scared him.

We'd like nothing more than for him to get adopted and into a new home to live comfortably again. Please come and meet Domino! To see Domino in action, click HERE and HERE.

For more information on Domino and the many other dogs waiting patiently to be rescued, click HERE or visit their Facebook page: CACC Adoptable Pets. To learn more about fostering, click HERE.
