Name: Mario
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Current Weight: 55 lbs
Breed: Mountain Cur / Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Energy Level: Low-medium
Dog Friendly: Prefers to be an only child- but this isn’t always a con. Deep down, doesn’t everyone who has a sibling, wish this at some point?
Cat Friendly: Yes with a confident cat
Kid Friendly: Yes, 8+
Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise. If Mario will be in a backyard without a leash/teather, it should have a privacy fence.
Apartment Friendly: Yes
Crate & Potty Trained: Yes
Ideal Home/Adopter: Single or couple who want an only dog, have a fenced yard (or willing to walk/play) and understand Mario not being super social with other dogs. In return, they never have to come home to any accidents or destruction and he’s the best cuddler.
Likes: Walks, playing fetch, meal times, rides in car, naps, squeaky toys, cuddling on the couch, playing tug, snacks
Dislikes: Some cats (has been in foster home with cats- made friends with one cat, but chases the other) 2) and other dogs- Mario might bark and be “extra” around other dogs
Additional Considerations: He rides in the car great- lays down and naps. He doesn’t need crated- never chews or destroys anything. No accidents ever. Doesn’t need constant attention. Very flexible on schedule. Can go in his room at his foster home for a few hours or overnight with no problem. Super sweet, loving and so handsome. Loves to cuddle on couch and watch tv with you. Best dog for a homebody!
What makes this dog special:
Mario has split his time between 2 fosters due to his first foster working out of town frequently. They are very different households and he flows between the two very well. One is a single, 20 something that lives in a high rise apartment in the city. The other is an older couple that lives in a house in the suburbs. He enjoys his city walks and his suburban yard. He can get up early or sleep in. He can be left home alone with no problem and doesn’t need crated. He will need a yard with a fence or walks on a leash. He’s very handsome and a great traveler in the car. He’s a heart stealer and once you meet him you will fall in love. He’d do best with an owner who understands Mario is not a dog park going, hang around other dogs kind of guy but will love his owner/family
Mario 's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.
