Carlo was found as a stray with some medical issues, and narrowly escaped death since he was scheduled for euthanasia the same day we pulled him from the shelter.
After recovering from a couple rounds of kennel cough, neuter/gastropexy surgery, and cherry eye/entropion repair surgery, Carlo is the strongest and healthiest he's ever been!
He is smart, playful, and curious, and eager to please and engage once he bonds with his person. He is obedience trained, house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and muzzle trained. He has also been well socialized in public while in his foster home. He can be a little shy around new people, but he quickly warms up and shows his goofy, charismatic self! He would do best in a highly structured home to give him strict rules and boundaries. He is a smart boy who enjoys having his brain stimulated and engaged.
If his wrinkly face is melting your heart, please apply for Carlo! He requires Neapolitan Mastiff experience (or similar giant guardian breed experience) and a home where he will be the only male dog! West coast home preferred.

Thank you for being his hero!
