He is very smart, quiet, food motivated and easy to train that can fit into new family easily. He behaves well inside the house, with no chewing or barking issues. His favorite games is playing with his buddies and hanging out with foster family in the park and his daily walks.
Mario’s Rescue Story
Mario had a very tough start in life. He used to have an owner who chained him outside of a temple since he was only 3-m-o, with no shelter provided. We talked the owner to let go of Mario. At the vet checkup, Mario was found with heartworm. After few months’ treatment, he passed the re-test.
The first few days at foster home, he did not show any joy for starting a new life; he stayed alone in corner of the house, being reserved and withdrawn from humans and other fostered dogs. But gradually, he got out of his shell. Under the loving care in foster home, Mario realized his harsh life had been history; he transitioned into a totally different dog. Mario becomes a love bug, who’s cuddly, sweet, and affectionate. Please watch Mario’s videos so you know how much fun this young boy can bring to your family if he is given a chance.
